Who started working on the interpolation?

I put in a bunch of time this weekend. Had to clear my plate for some work over the next two weeks.

Still more edits to make, but coming together. Won't pick it back up until the weekend. But coming together nicely. Changing the genre for mine. Not telling to what though. LOL

Yes sir.

Still has reggae vibe, but changing genre root. First time I’m trying to do something like this. Will see how it fares against y’all’s heat. July 31st I’ll know if this was a good idea or not. LOL.

Y’all are either gonna be mad at me and say “damn dude, that’s wack”. Or y’all are gonna be mad at me and say “damn dude, that’s FIRE”. LOL

I’m still trying to learn the song, I’m getting my butt handed to me work in this heat. Might be another day or before I pick it up again. I have the bass part somewhat down, putting it together is kind of a challenge for me.

Well, I’m just letting y’all know, I’m looking to defend this belt, so y’all better come with some heat.

Champs don’t lose titles on points... KOs only.

HAHA

Just some friendly banter. Damn this challenge is quiet. My schedule rearranged a bit. Hopefully be done in a day or so. Then putting it on ice until due date.

Rumor is... Quickstrike might make an appearance on this one. Who knows... LOL

Dudes are concentrating LOL Like I said I will have to chose out of the Three I have. Man My singer and I was watching a show that I have the collection to 7 seasons, (not telling :lol: ) She hears a singer, then the music and asked "DID YOU HEAR THAT?" So I already know what she is thinking LOL hahahahaa :lol: :lol: :lol: She said get that voice, sample it, and make music to it. I got the chords, did the voice and now she did some trickery with her voice and I did some effects to it, she went bananas. Now she want me to finish it and break it down like I do and do the sickest arrangement, so I been getting down on it. Man this joint is nuts. She thought I wasn't going to be on the same page, I produce of course I will.

So I am busy and about to drop my joints, and everything is looking good.

Boy I'm dying over here... you guys'll probably laugh at me, but getting a good reggae sound is quite a bit more complicated than I thought. Just trying to get a good voice for all these parts is killing me. The interlocking and interplaying groove... I just totally took this stuff for granted.

Will definitely get something posted, but it might be Boy Scout quality from me... unlikely to warrant a merit badge lol.

Keep in mind, you can change the genre if you wish. As long as it's true to an interpolation of the song. Melody, progressions, etc.

And definitely won't laugh at you man. It sounds like a simple song, but it's deceiving. IMO his music was actually more complex than most think / believe.
