Discuss the various methods you use in music production, from compressor settings to equipment type.

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 down 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 no 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!


That's made my morning! Legend.

Real recognize real, and you're just some fake youngster who probably still can't leave the house without daddy's permission.

If you're truly old school then you would've known the answer by heart.

You're wack son, like that rhyme.

????

Since when does Sisqo keeps it real?

I'm not a battle cat, but sometimes I enter the cypher
Bored to death so my mind is acting hyper
writing rhymes to slow down like a tiger
right before I attack the target like a sniper
I sneak on people after lurking in the shadow
Living on killing fields like the land of Meadows
People claim they're oldschool, yeah ur old,
Probably stopped listening when everything went gold
Rhymes like they used to bust them in 79'
Fast forward, 2009, u pressed rewind
U'r wondering how to rap, man ur chasing time
While I'm way ahead like micheal J Fox in his prime

Man, ur rhymes r stupid and rare,
Never heard someone tried to diss me with...tuperware!? ???
I don't need that shit to come fresh out of the box
u only consider urself winning like the Boston Red Sox
Oh wait, u SAW ur rhymes on my tracks?
U'r seeing music?
Ill-Green wrote:you hooked on crack

That's the reason why ur rhymes don't make sense
Get of the drugs son, and start rhyming like a man.
And pleas take my advice, that when two words rhyme,
It doens't mean that those words are automatically a punchline
Frontin u smoke much better weed then me?
I Amsterdam, it takes more time for me buying groceries
across the street then going to the neighbours for 'cofee'
Plus u try to claim that my beats are whack?
u are the one that came here to ask how to make rap.
Hit it again one more time, cause u wil probably forget:

i'll battle any mc on the mpc forum
my rhymes excite, while your rhymes are real boring
get out of the edit mode, shoulda had it right the first time
my skills are dope, you can tell from the first line

your productions are fake, your bpms are way off
you forgot to save that program before you switched your machine off
you need more lessons son, ask some more questions
don't expect any answers, this chat board ain't helpin

ima go get laid now, peace suckers
