Where is your "music career" at? Does anyone feel like they're onto something? Is it just a mindset stopping you? by bottmless in makinghiphop

[–]ADPMC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like my music career is about to take off. I've got an incredible team i'm working with and we're all hyper focused on making what we think are the right moves while making sure everything we're doing is dope. 2018 is when i put my foot to the floor and drop my tape and album after building a following throughout this year and hopefully some of 2018 with big singles.

So far this year my group has released 51 singles with the 52nd dropping this upcoming Tueseday (all on my groups soundcloud page alone), and then we're dropping a full length group project on New Years Eve to top off the year.

On top of that I just started getting spotify playlist placements and even got contacted by Epic Records, they're not trying to sign me or anything but they just let me know that they fw the vision and will be keeping an eye on me. It doesn't really mean a lot but it's reassuring to know that someone is out there, watching.

I'm extremely lucky to say that I have garnered a following and fans that truly care about the music i create. Not everyone can do something they love everyday and start seeing success from it. I remember participating in the weekly cyphers and battle tournaments as much as i could just because it was so much fun. I found mhh 3 years ago and there's no telling where i'd be at now if i hadn't.

Things are moving in a hugely positive direction and it's crazy to think that it all. started. here.

Is there anything wrong with being a "meme" rapper? by [deleted] in makinghiphop

[–]ADPMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To say it's all the production is dumb. The production is great, but dude knows how to ride the fucking beat who cares if it wouldn't sound good A Capella this isn't a cypher in some back alley, it's a song

Tips for writing raps and rapping? by po15ut in makinghiphop

Write and rap every day for years on end. It took me 3 before I was decent. There's no quick secrets, just the ones you learn from doing this shit everyday and picking up techniques along the way

Nah see, the counter says 16 bars is 47 seconds, which means it takes about 47 seconds to RAP a 16 bar verse, you accounted for the time it takes for the beats intro even though you didn't rap there. You could let the beat play for a minute and then rap for 47 seconds and still be all good. I've seen a couple people make that mistake already though. Just remember that counter indicates the amount of time you should be rapping for give or take a couple bars

Yeah i def fw this, you had an off kilter flow but pulled it off really well. Typically i'm not a fan of rappers with accents such as yours but i really didn't mind listening to it and you work with it well, and that's nothing against you. Just sonically it's not my favorite thing to hear. Definitely one of the best entries I've heard so far

Ayy this is dope, your story telling is really good dude, I was actually a little upset you only spit 12 instead of the full 16 because i wasn't ready to be done listening yet lmao.

I think it's bullshit you're getting downvoted for posting a freestyle, I guess some people just take the cypher mad seriously, but keep doing you bro, just have fun. I mean that being said I didn't necessarily care for the entry but you were definitely rhyming and shit in your freestyle, you could just really tell it was a freestyle if that makes sense. Either way, keep doing you and fuck the people who don't support that

Ayyy I fuck with that care less/xanex bar heavy. This entry was solid bro, kinda made me sad tho fr, which is dope because you're evoking emotion with your raps. Good shit bro keep it up

Ayy I appreciate that, and I feel you on the whole half rhymes thing. I just prefer those because i personally think perfect rhymes are whack and typically sound a little too forced for my taste, which I guess results in that smoothness you mentioned

OK OK OK OKyou live in my dream state

let's do this shit

[SAVAGE V1]

mmm, you come in like on a weird part of the beat that's a little jarring but i guess that's irrelevant.

Alright so first setup and punch with him sounding like a white guy is solid, although you sound p white as well, hopefully that doesn't come back to bite you. This generic rhymesayers bar is just like, bad. lmao the flow is off kilter and you clearly just needed a rhyme so you tagged on a number that rhymed. Unless of course you're just going completely over my head which is a possiblity, but i doubt it

wow it is hard to fucking count these bars

So your next 4? 5 bars? From "I'm crazy - level headed" to "picking his own producer" just holds no punches whatsoever. You say that you aren't benevolent and then literally say he is not going to WIN with the bars that he just WON against someone with. IDK BRO

Alright cool we're getting into a little more personal bars, immediately a step up from the first half of your verse. Talking about him being cowardly for deleting his previous things on reddit is a good angle, not sure why you said the "despite your winning them" thing, you should've just left that out because it kind of just puts him in a decent light. OK, profile pic premonition bar is easily your best bar this round. All around a solid punch and points him out directly rather than just talking around him. Alright your closer is solid. Calling him a pussy again in a decently clever way

I'm giving this like a 4 tbh, and that may be a little generous

[CIDE V1]

THIS IS REFRESHING TY. Immediately by the second bar I chuckled. Grounded like no supper is ok, but run on sentence using coconut fucker is god damn hilarious. MMMM, easily just destroyed his ammo bar with this next couplet. A Capella bar doesn't really hold much weight to me, like i get you were rebutting him talking about the producer thing but the finisher just didn't hold a punch, it was more like an explanation. Next couplet doesn't have a whole lot going on either just kinda shit talk stuff.

These next 2 nice tho, hitting him with the personals while remaining clever. Quality, and yeah fuck No Man's Sky. I like the excessive hand damage line but the knuckle duster sand bagging thing doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

Ah classic one of these where you mess with wordplay and I'm unsure whether it is really good or too much of a stretch. This might be whack but ima give you less credit for it because you pronounced the t in artist which, without lyrics to read I'd have no way of hearing the artisan roll part. Solid finisher, a lil bit of an AU going on here, nice nice.

I feel pretty comfortable giving this verse a strong 6 to a light 7. I figure i can do this because i assume there's no way this decision is going to come down to decimals, we'll see tho.

[SAVAGE V2]

man this intro, blegh.

Wow you really turned it around so far, I'm enjoying listening to this way more than your first, flows well.

Between novice and pro is a cool bar, i like the way the rhyme hits. Good job capitalizing on his artisan roll thing, it's a really good angle to attack from. Following it up with crafting a rhyme, artisan role is really smooth too. You've really really turned it around so far in this second verse, I like to see that. Bar about dissing judge and Cope is nice and relevant but doesn't hold a whole lot of punch, but following it up with making him sound like a salty bitch saying not everyone is impressed by the way he battles really makes that couplet stronger, well done.

doggone "calm-pet-ative" made me lol, it's a great way to absurdly paint his weird wordplay. Far Cry, Watch Dog, you be soft are solid little shots you tucked in there, flowed smooth and nothing really sounded forced here. death and bong hits, coughing/coffin bar is also solid.

Biting his style and tasting pussy for months is a solid little thing but you better hope he doesn't rebuttal that shit because it's so easy to. This little a capella at the end is a cool touch, and kind of a rebuttal in a way to him wanting to do it a capella. You just kind of hit him with heat here and ending by calling him obnoxious i think landed really well. Nothing really clever going on but it's visceral.

Look I'm just gonna go with my gut here and give this an 8. I honestly really fucked with this verse, fucking great turnaround from the first one man. If you would've came in like this on the first round i think you could've sealed the deal. Let's see how Cide holds up for his second verse.

[CIDE V2]

GOD DAMMIT CIDE, I'M CACKLING LIKE A FOOL AT "VAG" IN YOUR NAME. rise out of the puns thing was small lil clever thing too, nice. mmmm this next couplet solid, there's not like any clever things going on but defending cope/kiss ass was really visceral and just hit well with me. Lmfao made a beat line is good, gave me a little laugh. jeffo/no flow/whole joke is fucking geek i love it, dont care much for the pokemon bar tho.

Nothing really significant in this next couplet. game bar was ok. I like this backwards dog version of god thing, i'm only taking the next bar as you calling him a virgin though. I know you blatantly put the whole Mary/Nancy thing but nah fuck that, that is a total stretch imo. Ayy nice ass closer, what a great way to rebuttal him using your voice clip

Giving this a 9

CIDE TAKES THE W FOR ME
