If you were a rapper....

For discussion of mainstream Hip Hop or Urban music.

If you were a rapper....

Postby ColdWindCriminal » Oct 29th, '11, 00:55

what kind of voice would you want?
what kind of flow?
what kind of topics would you rap about?
what kind of beats would you use?
what your albums be like?
what would the album art be like?

for me:

1. I can do a really good impressions of Ghostface,E-40 and Snoop. I'd probably use the E-40 voice
2. usually yelled crazy hammy stuff like DMX, with speed rap like Busta Rhymes, storytelling, expletives for emphasis
3. psycho stuff, gatorade, random stuff, comedy stuff, making fun of celebrities, rambling on about stuff I love and hate, basketball, music in general, how awesome I am, videogames,etc.
4. sometimes west coast g-funk, sometimes Erick Sermon stuff, sometimes heavy raw stuff like "Amityville", sometimes stuff with a Drug Ballad/Big Egos style atmosphere,videogame samples, rock influenced beats (sometimes sampling rock songs), Austin Powers movie sound samples
5. a funny intro skit, an epic intro track, battle rap songs (with other MCs), about 3 posse cuts per album (including a parody of posse cut songs, like "Obligatory Posse Cut" by Extended Famm), some serious songs, a couple horrorcore tracks, a club banger, Wu Tang Torture skit parody, angry pump-up song (DMX style), bragging song, plus an epic funny ending track....with a hidden track at the end usually
6.Not exactly sure, but it would be color-coded and would have the right imagery to fit the feel of the album.

also, if you are a rapper, then you're free to describe your style

I am a rapper.

ColdWindCriminal wrote:what kind of voice would you want?


Kind of a redundant question; you only have one voice, your own. Putting on a fake voice or trying to imitate another would be painfully retarded.

what kind of flow?


Again, I don't know any rapper who does the same flow every single song.

what kind of topics would you rap about?


I started out rapping about haters and wanting to make it. Recently though I have got much more conceptual. My last album Unwelcome Back was about returning to a place you left that doesn't want you back. My next solo album i'm working on is a spritual successor to a previous one and is about growing up, and i'm working on another project which is over half-done which is heavy on existentialism.

what kind of beats would you use?


I used to grab beats off Soundclick, but now I have them produced for me by some of the more talented members of this site. Generally I go for dark stuff, piano, strings and (thanks to my recent addiction to Ska) a few beats with some trumpets in them.

what your albums be like?


I used to just make albums randomly, but ever since Universal i've at least tried to make them follow themes.

what would the album art be like?


Vague, while still summing up the album. I have Ax to thank for that though.

Well, I'd rather have a dark voice than a voice like Weezy or Mac Miller.

what kind of flow?


A fast/slow flow. Like Tech n9ne.

what kind of topics would you rap about?


Hmm.. Everything.

what kind of beats would you use?


Dark beats, with strings, violin, things like that.

Sampled beats.. like Gotta Have It. These are my fucking favorite beats.

what your albums be like?


Funny, inspirational, with some dark tracks. An album divided in 3 pieces.. Like K.O.D.

what would the album art be like


Ahh this is a good question. Something creative i'd say..

Well I am a rapper but I'll answer nonetheless...

ColdWindCriminal wrote:what kind of voice would you want?


I like to put as much emotion into my voice as possible...People won't feel what I'm saying if people don't think I feel what I'm saying...

ColdWindCriminal wrote:what kind of flow?


Hmmm, I dunno to be honest...I'd have to leave that to listeners to comment on my flow, to be honest I don't really know how to explain my flow myself lol...

ColdWindCriminal wrote:what kind of topics would you rap about?


I started to write as release, so my music's always been very personal, a lot of real personal shit goes into my lyrics, so I guess I'd have to answer that with whatever's on my mind at the time...

ColdWindCriminal wrote:what kind of beats would you use?


Old-School East-Coast Boom-Bap baby!!! lol...

ColdWindCriminal wrote:what your albums be like?


Raw emotional lyricism over gritty Boom-Bapping instrumentals...

ColdWindCriminal wrote:what would the album art be like?


I go for the surreal abstract, and sometimes gothic/medieval style art...

High range and intense delivery.

Rapping with the snare/riding the beat. 10-16 syllable bars...
ColdWindCriminal wrote:what kind of topics would you rap about?

Just emo shit and other crap.
ColdWindCriminal wrote:what kind of beats would you use?

Simple.
ColdWindCriminal wrote:what your albums be like?

I'm a rapper too, so I suppose I'll give my input as well.

ColdWindCriminal wrote:what kind of voice would you want?

Something strong and captivating, like Royce. Something that's tolerable and you could see it being heard around often.

what kind of flow?

Many different ones. When I write, I have a normal flow, but when I'm freestyling under my breath to myself, I tend to go double-time. It depends on the instrumental I'm on, really.

what kind of topics would you rap about?

Anything that comes to mind. Right now, it's haters and following my dreams. As long as I'm real about it or I'm at least enjoying the type of topic I'm writing for, I'm good.

what kind of beats would you use?

I'm a HUGE fan of Kanye's production. I'd also use 1500 or Nothin's beats as well, as well as Dre's, Just Blaze, Will Power, Porter, Em (If it's on some Moment of Clarity shit) and DJ Khalil.

what your albums be like?

I would love to have a movie effect to my albums. Like, I want to make it so from the beginning of the album to the last, you're watching something when you close your eyes. Kinda like R.E.D, but bigger. More cohesive, more movie-like, more... me.

what would the album art be like?

That's not really something I could say right off the bat, but I suppose I'd have it as me in the art doing something related to the entire theme of the album.
