hype up the jamz :lol: = volume knob

you should put one of those little doors at the bottom of your door,,that way they can let themselves out.

There are two ways you can make rap music

One:
- Get yourself a White Rapper (Preferably From Minnesota)
- Get yourself a beat producer that lives and dies defending an MPC2000, vinyl, and pseudo ambiguous source material
- Get yourself some lyrics about how you are keeping it the real real, reference alot of books you partially read, comment on how you have roots in 1980's, 1990's hip hop while hating on anything and everything that is mainstream.
- (Bonus) make sure you reference your Emcee battle days, but are no longer interested in doing it no more
- Write a hook that kind of speaks down to your audience, but at the same time makes very little sense so they think you are smarter then them.
- Make sure there is a skateboard somewhere in the recording studio
- Have a crew of fellow rappers that completely ignore the fact that Hip Hop is an African American Art form that went popular to justify their position in the culture
-Your break should have a funny witty comment, sample, or other reference to an off beat comedy such as Big Lebrowski or Little Miss Sunshine or Fear and Loathing
- (Bonus) Be Vegan

Two:
- Get an emcee that still thinks record companies sign everyone and that this song entitled, "Sweat on My Balls", is going to be his Myspace hit!
- Get a Producer that smokes weed and post beatmaking "How to" and "Tips" videos on youtube from his lab AKA mommy's basement.
- Before recording, dress the part by going to china town to get some bootleg clothes for the self made documentary of the recording of this song.
- During the recording make sure the rapper mentions they freestyled this song over 20 times.
- Make sure the snare is way above everything else in the mix, at least 7db over the vocals, while the bassline and the kick make a beautiful mud in the bottom.
- Disrespect not only women, small children with your message as well.
- Say your song is going to be on the radio, but when you get called out on it by your friends, you tell them they missed it.

There is more, but i think this is a great start!

yo, i was makin beats on my commador 64
while you was crawlin round, down on all four's
suckin ya mama's milk, from her itty bitty titty's
while i was writting mad rhymes, and breakin in the city

eatin flintstone vitamins just to get my groove on
i was poppin and lockin before you had your shoes on
didn't need no respect, cause i took what i got
now you think you come correct, but skills ain't hot

i could go on, and on, til the break of day
but my girlies pussy needs me, and i gots to smoke some hay
i'm a tell ya one more thing, ya production is week.
and my notebooks are bustin out, so this rhyme is yours to keep
