I think you guys are just closet racists. :rolleyes:

What does rap have to do with race? Since when is rap a race??

Usually the first person to throw out race in an argument is the racist.
 
Take the lid off a jar, quickly do your raps into the jar then quickly get the lid screwed back on, then throw the jar hard and frustrated so it smashes at the feet of some toupe wearing, gold tooth grinning producer and watch him drop everything and get jiggy with your rap.

Bottom line is, that is a cert.

I love how all you rappers think that anyone who doesn't like rap is a racist. Can't you come up with a better comeback than that? It's fucken ridiculous really. I hate rap with a huge passion I hate country even more, what's that make me? Muslim? Get a fucken clue.
 
Why the hell do you make that a race thing?

(if you can spend a little more i would highly suggest this cable instead http://www.musiciansfriend.com/prod...d-Mic-Cable-for-Studio-Neutrik-XLR?sku=338010)
that ends up 13 dollars over you 500 dollar budget but shipping will be free if you order it all from musiciansfriend at once(orders over 200 are free). since its rap im guessing it will just be a voice recorded over a beat, which isnt very demanding equipment wise. im sure you will have a hard time telling this apart from a proffessionally done rap album as long as you have a good engineer.
 
I always get the last laugh in life, so naturally I'll let ya'll niggaz know what the fuck is up. Props to them white folk who are frontin with the rascist thing. I don't care if your rascist or not, your personal opinion means nothing to any individual who buys rap records. I mean Metallica is dope. No lie. But fuck they fell off the wheel in the 80's. Probably when coke struck all your mommas, thus leaving you all ignorant. This was not a debate, it was a question. A little moron nut hugger juice does'nt mean you should drink the whole pack.

Anyways I was not trying to build a professional studio at home. I was merely attempting to build a home recording studio for recording on the side (ie: late in the morning at 3am with a bit of inspiration, or mixtape tracks). I have been recording in professional million dollar studios since I was about 16, long, long ago. A home studio is just another resource when booking days at the pro studio are far from the moment of inspiration, or when you have a track that is for a mixtape which does not require top notch sound quality.

Thanx to the dope mutthafuccas who wrote back using that human processor I like to call a "brain". This was my first time joining this shit forum, and yah my last. There's no substance here, just ignorant closest "k,k,k's" as my good anonymous friend would say. lol. Listen I don't care what the fuck you believe in or who's mommas pussy you fell out of. If you really have no life don't reply when someone is asking you a simple question and you have a smart ass remark. These are the type of bitch niggaz that get shot or beat the fuck up face to face. No nuts, all you do is talk. So yah keep it up, I'm makin my money no doubt. What I was going to say since half of you decided it was good equipment and half said no... Is that I would spend $3000 instead. Is that good enough? Well really and truely I don't want to ask since I can picture what will be the response. I assume most of you are home recording enthusiasts.

It's a shame when you have no pro studio to go to. That means you are'nt doing much with your career. So yah I kinda think ya'll need to stop drinking dick rider juice and go outside, hustle some cds, drop some money on some fresh clothes, and fuck a bitch or two. Smoke a big blunt if you have to because that nerd juice is ever so prevelant within your soul. I have no time for you bitch niggaz, and just wanted to say thanks to those that did respond well, and those who did'nt well shoot yourself in the face. You'll feel better.

I guess I'm not even going to waste that money on it and just use it for a thermal printer to get my duplication game on and print up more of that hot shit I be making. $$$$$$$$$$$. Consignment, Money, Finace, Bitches, Hoes, Fame. Yup The good ole shit I been getting. I'll just tell the engineer I was going to hire that he's not getting paid. lol. Not my problem. But maybe ya'll stopped a man from making cash. Karmas a bitch no? I would'nt know.

I don't know anything about studio equipment quality brands, sounds, etc. All I know is how to set it up and pay a nigga to do the shit for me. So I'm good. The question was if the equipment was good enough. Or what your list would be. Sure I could have asked the engineer what I should get... But seems like you missed the part where I wrote what a "friend suggested" I buy. You should always look for a second opinion. That is why I came here.

Oh well nuthuggers. No more posts for me. See ya'll in the after life.


Here's a little advice:



1. drop the nut juice

2. drop the ice pipes

3. stop recording in the same room your masturbating and drinking your nutjuice in

4. move out your moms house

5. sell drugs. that shit can help you finace your way out. lol

6. buy a gun and load it if your a real man. just for protection from punk pussie mutthafuccas

7. use it and aim very carefully between your eyes.

8. yes. now you have spotted the "punk pussie mutthafucca"

9. pull the trigger. and let a shot go.

10. say what up to adolf.



kkk niggas if any. that means ya'll pussies too.




aight one.



peace out niggas.


it was fun.



(i'm not comming back so i will not see a reply. but thanks, it was my pleasure)




I'mma tell my homeboy to check this in a couple of days since I'm busy. If there is any ounce of intelligence left on the planet show your self. Than maybe I'll come back to spark a conversation.

Yet another "rapper" proving his worth in society. Get over yourself, with that attitude you're worthless. And stop calling white people racist you stupid bastard, all you rappers seem to be as racist as they come and apparently aren't afraid to show it.

If all you're doing is building a system to get scratch ideas recorded you could pretty much use anything.

Mic: SP B1 or MXL V67 with a pop filter

Mic pre: M-Audio DMP3

Get a decent sound card and software like Audition and BOOM...you're golden.

Redo the tracks in a pro studio later.
 
Ya'll really do need to get quit bashing rap all the damn time, just because it is not your thing. Personally, I don't like rap either, but then again, I don't like 'indie music' either or at least 3/4 of the other stuff people post on here.

However, that doesn't stop me from appreciating the talent and effort that went into making it. Just because I don't personally 'get it', doesn't mean it doesn't have artistic value.

Now I do agree the rap atittude thing is a little tired, and kind of pussified. BUT this guy asked an honest question, and didn't show any attitude until ya'll started jacking with him. All he did wrong is not use the search engine, and play a style of music most on here don't like. Hell even chessrock gave him as friendly answer as you could expect from him. No need to get sarcastic or be a dick if you don't like a certain style of music. Just click the X in the little box at the top right corner of your window. Simple problem. Simple solution.

If you actually read the posts, you'll notice that most people did give a recommendation along with a joke or two. Go thru and check out how many different mics and other things were mentioned. It's not that its a certain style of music, its just that most rappers ask this same exact question and most seem to think 500 bucks is going to get them top notch sound. In short, most just don't seem educated on the subject in the least.

that's the best you got?

"oh yeah... well I'm gonna get wedding slut pussy for ever... You suck"

damn...

Like I've said before. I am not a rapper. if you hate any genre of music in its entirety you are just an idiot. Plain and simple. Good music is good music no matter what. I've never heard something with good songwriting and hated it anyway because of the genre. that shows a type of irrational bias.

What does rap have to do with race? Since when is rap a race??

Usually the first person to throw out race in an argument is the racist.

I'm as far from a racist as they come... Rap isn't a race... it's just 98% Black. So I get the feeling when people bitch about rap they are really saying "I don't like it that I know music but that damn nig*er who can't play an instrument is famous." At least that's what I take from it.

I grew up in a very racist area and I can usually spot the covert racist. They never say anything openly racist but it's there right under the surface.

Well, then you aren't living in L.A.

The city is 50% hispanic, but where I live there's a lot of whites, asian, and blacks. A large amount of the kids are into rap. Color doesn't enter into it.

When rock and roll started out it was 98% black. If I like 50's rock, does that mean I have to be black?

Jazz was started by the black community. I love jazz, but if I didn't would that make me a racist?

Maybe you should try and let your mistrust of humanity be replaced by faith that there are good people out there who don't care what color you are. Some people just can't stand rap, simply because of how it sounds.

Yea, those guys ain't bad, for a bunch of Cracker Honkey Albinos. :D

I actually kinda' like you, Pennitentiary. You've got more piss & vinnegar in you than the average numbnuts newb who comes on here asking if he can make a grammy production in his spare room with a soundblaster card and a dixie cup.

You kinda' lost me on all the racism stuff, or the "rap-hating" thing. Hell, stick around for a while, and you'll kind of get the clue that I'm just not very nice to any of the newbs, period. I like to think I'm an equal opportunity asshole, regardless of what kind of crap it is you're trying to pass of as music (Trust me ... the grindcore guys get pretty tired of my "Your singer sounds like he's trying to pass a kidney stone" cracks).

Anyway, thanks for coming by and brightening my day with your truly optimistic view of life and sunny disposition. And congratulations for providing even more entertainment than that cartoon guy we just chased off (who wanted to get fired from his job so he could live off of unemployment and make his dumbass cartoon all day). That's actually quite an accomplishment.

I don't.

But why do all of these threads turn out the same way? ie,

1. Rapper wanting to make a bedroom album posts a question along the lines of what is the best rap mic under $XXX? It has to sound as professional as XYZ.

2. Half the respondents say 'use the search function'. The other half say there is no best mic, go try something and put some effort into what you are doing.

3. Someone DARES to make a stereotypical comment about rap 'gangstas'

4. Some pro-Rap homey (I'd personally give more time to a pro-Lifer than a pro-Rapper, and I agree with George Carlin on the pro-Life movement) thinks that the dig on 'gangstas' is a dig on all Afro Americans.

5. At this point, the thread diverges. Either the topic of discussion goes to a dissertation on the relative merits and failings of African American Popular Culture Spoken Word over Repetitive TR808 Rhythmic Patterns, or a 'you're a racist! no I'm not! yes you are! I'm a racist and so is my wife'.

Can we all just agree that if anyone asks what the best rap mic is, we'll tell them either:

Behringer B-1 (or B-2 'Pro' for that professional sound)
the Wollensak mercury sputtered microphone - see https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=132277
or
any condensor with phantom power not enabled?
