Lyrics, the gathering project

Postby _Jesus_ » Jul 15th, '13, 18:15

Ayo, I'm currently gathering ALL Eminem's lyrics. It means freestyles, skits, featurings, etc...
I have gathered almost everything since 2001. I use HimShadow's list as reference and I RapGenius as base (they agreed).

My main problem is that I'm not a native english speaker... So I can't transcript full verses, it takes me way too long... That's why I'm here I'd like to work with the community. If you are interested I can tell you which verses/songs I'm not able to write down.

The goal is to release it, obviously. In a first time in a mobile app, then as a website and finally by contributing back to RapGenius.

Is anyone interested in contributing on that project?

Also, here is the list of tracks I gathered, in green are those I've done, in red those didn't yet and in orange those I consider as duplicates (are you ok with those in orage BTW?)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... NZFE#gid=0

It's a Google spreadsheet, I trust you (should I?), you can modify it if you want to help
If you want to provide your lyrics for an undone track just add your name in the F column so everyone know that someone is on it. Also if you do so, please let us know on this thread too :y:

I think it would be more annoying having to read through long ass posts just to find the lyrics you're looking for though. I'd much rather just go to Google and find them instantly lol.

Of course there is the search/find function but not many people probably use that.

Damn, you're right this message is way too long, I'll shorten it.

I understand your point about searching lyrics on the web, I want help for those you can't find
For instance the second verse of Young Zee's "We Just Came to Party" (even if it's wack as hell) or the last verse of "Respect My Conglomerate"

Yup, there is no point in bothering everybody with my maniac disorder with the ones I can find by myself
I'm only looking for volunteers (and hardcore stans) who have a better hearing-english than mine
If you don't do it for me, do it for the glory and/or the prosperity :D
