that's nice. maybe you want to use a Shure SM58 or a beta58.

 

[studiomaster]

Definitely not a condenser since its too sensitive for this type of vocals.

 

[Reggie]

Actually, let him bring his own 58....

 

[studiomaster]

Yea i would highly suggest getting the 58...

 

[guitarboi89]

maybe a 57 would be good cause it doesnt have the roll off

it's easier to "cup" a 58 than a 57. beta58's are brighter and have a touch more output.

did no one mention a popper screen? you know that popper stopper or whatever the f... they call it. push him up to the mic and say go. then get a towel and clean up.
otherwist I would use the 58. rugged

 

[Cyanide-Depende]

for mics, use an audix om2, wider freq range than the 58 and just as durable

So performance mics are the way to go to get a good recording?? Will Studio Condensers work?? i mean its sensitive, but u guys dont agree that a studio mic would be better? what about an 87? thanx guys.

The classic beat box sound comes from a 58, cupped by the performer. Look at Dougie Fresh. SM58. Do you really want somone spitting into your U87? hell I wouldn't let anyone spit into a U89 (I hate those).

 

[Cdacoron]

OOOkay. true true. thanx for the advice guys. i just want the best recording cuz were comin out wid an album in july...and i just want the best recording possible with what we got. Thanx again.

I would say a sm58 w/ a foam windscreen.
You need the proximity effect.
The windscreen will help tame the loud plosives, and keep spit off the microphone, and help reduce handling noise.
