rapper lisp dangerous?

[distortedrumble]

i was asked if i could lay down some tracks for a guy who has a lisp......now i can wear a rain coat when i talk to him but what should i do for my mics? would 2 pop filters do the trick? i think hes definitely going to need a De-esser too. would i be too obvious with all that? aside from the rain coat

I think pop filters only work for plosives. U might try putting the mic to the side of his mouth.

Is this one of those heartwarming stories about overcoming adversity and living the dream? hurdling obstacles? like one legged soccer players?

 

[Qwerty]

Put the mic up high pointing down and have him "sing" under it.

Q.

Foot on the pedal never ever falthe metal
Engine wunning hotter than a boilwing kettle
My job'th ain't a job it'th a damn good time
Thity to thity I'm wunning my whymeth
On location touwing awound the nation
Lithpie Boyth alwayth on vacation
Itchy twigger finger but a thtable tuwntable
I do what I do betht becauthe I'm illing and able
Ain't no faking youw money I'm taking
Going coast to coast watching all the giwlies shaking
While you're at the job working nine to five
The Beathtie Boyth at the Garden cold kickin' it live

No thleep 'til bedtime

this is actually more like him thinking that the lisp can work for him instead of work against him cause not many other rappers have a lisp.....gives new meaning to the term spittin out lyrics....its hard not to say "sssssuffering ssssucatash!"

 

[Qwerty]

OK then, get him to dig up that guy who did "Stutter Rap" and get them them to re-release it....

R-R-R-RUN D-D-D-M-THEE

Q.

I'll stop now.

 

[distortedrumble]

Kool G Rap, one of the greatest that ever did it, had a vicious lisp.

Years ago, I had a guy with no hands, that's right, NO hands ask me if I would teach him how to play some guitar...

What are you supposed to say?

I said...."Sure"....

 

[VOXVENDOR]

Just because he has a lisp doesn't mean he'll spit alot. I had a teacher that talked impeccably, with no lisp whatsover, and he would spit all over the place.

I recorded a band and the drummer had a terrible lisp, I mean the classic one.... And not one drop of liquid ever invaded my personal space.
