i don't have a new track to add, but Mnemonic has an unreleased track that i want to add in called "Ain't Real"
oh man its not about the same stuff he rapped about on Notice Me is it? coz i really didn't like his lyrics or the concept of rappin about "being real" or whatever, i like Brents verses on that song of his the only thing i didn't like was the chorus, but i liked his lyrics. oddly i didn't actually like Reekens lyrics, the beat was good and he has good flow but i felt his simple rhyme scheme was a bad look for the message of a real emcee, coz if i was gonna rap about what a real emcee is i would do it with dope lyrics to show a real emcee is supposed to be really dope, but reekens rhymes in that song were very simple rhymes, so if i was a mainstream person listening to that i would think "well if thats what real emcee's are a about i'd rather be a rapper"

wtf??? i saw that track more as just a lyrical one. and the beat is fucking monstrous!!!!!!!! that's the topic "Ain't Real" is sort of on tho. what's wrong with that topic???
Ain't Real goes hard lyrically. Mnemonic never been much of a lyricist, but as a producer he's supreme. But that does not mean he could not a write a damn dope verse.

lol sodr, just go back to fap fapping and cut that crap talk lol

the beat on that song was dope, i guess the song is alright but i didn't think the lyrics were that good but i guess its ok i wasn't really feeling the flow though, put the "Ain't Real" song up so we can hear it first then
honestly i wasn't feeling sweet 16's either but we have to keep it since its got the big names

Brent's flow and delivery on that track really irked me and the beat was not very good imo. as for Reeken, that beat as fucking ridiculous and sometimes simplicity is superior. the way his lyrics were laid onto the track made it more memorable imo. it gave it a certain catchiness while not making it corny. that's something that a lot of people who listen to real hip hop and then become emcees don't realize, effectively leading to them not being successful. a lot of artists try to be way too complex. there's a way to come with complex and creative topics while still being simplistic about it. that is something i have learned as i've grown artistically. something i've learned since i made "They Called Him 'Seek'" and "Cycle of Life". not to say those weren't dope or were too complex, and not to say complex tracks can't work every once in a while, but rather that it is better to focus on what will catch and at the same time still get your point across -- what is simple and memorable. of course i do this while focusing on building complex and creative concepts.

i am on and off about Mnemonic's flow. he has a very unique flow and it works sometimes and other times doesn't. i personally like it here and he came off on my "Refreshing" track, though his flow on that rides the beat a bit more because you kind of have to flow well on that shit. as for "Ain't Real", the hook really makes the track. i hooked him up with the sample and the beat is pretty dope, but his hook really adds to it.

there is another one called "The G.O.D." but El Mat either didn't like that one or just liked "Ain't Real" better. idr. anyways, if you guys aren't feeling this one, i'll post "The G.O.D."
u know whats funny, the original track that was on the playlist as very first was Mnemonic's - Hip Hop Rebel, not notice me lol but i told trigger thats was an extra but only if we can fit it, so trigger must have mixed it up and added notice me, removed hh rebel.. well that beat on notice me is unreal and add something different to the mix tape..some style, if u ask me..but here is hop hop rebel, maybe we can change it up..it does go with the mixtape better but i do like "notice me" and hip hop rebel both, so to me it don't make a difference..
yeah eric, i'll post another track of brents but emseed, miguel, trigger and myself like "lost in transmission" so u are out numbered lol i understand wat ur saying..but for this one lets just have one aim/guerrilla artist..they are good people and our biggest affiliates, with that said, the song is not that bad but u have different taste in music, u may not lliike it but many do..not meaning in here lol anyway..but i'll put up one now..u might not be crazy about it, he is a UK emcee so maybe its his accent that makes his flow out of place,,,i like it and so do many others..that track and his album sell well in the UK.

for Brent i thought his flow was dope, i just didn't like the chorus so maybe we could put one of his other songs on instead
about Reeken while firstly i'm not saying it shouldn't be on the mixtape, most people seem to like the song and i don't mind it. i could go over here why i don't like it but its probably going off topic so theres no point, maybe we could do that in the chatbox but i don't want to fill the thread up with arguing over a track i don't mind being on

Mnemonic - "Ain't Real":
the flow and lyrics were way better on this song, do we really need to have another Mnemonic song though? we already have two Mnemonic songs i don't think we need to have 3 esp when we're supposed to be making the track list as short as possible, so i don't think we need to add this Ain't Real song on, its a good song but i don't think its a "must add" song so i'd say leave this one off and keep Notice Me and Across the World since Notice Me has a dope beat and Across The World has Percee P, (btw his verse on across the world is also another verse complaining about the radio)
if we have to add a 24th track i'd prefer a K-Rino song instead since Mnemonic already has two tracks on here and K-Rino is a more famous name with only a guest verse so far
i like the K-Rino song "Release It" so i vote for that to be the 24th track instead
i know you're not going to like the drums or beat on this song, neither did i at first but when i listened through the whole think i really liked it
i gave these to trigger also but he chose "lost in transmission" instead of this one..here are some more, these three are not bad, lost in transmission is my fav, then number 2 is bulletproof gandhi, 3 is torn again..see which u guys like better..
brent lee regan Bullet Proof Gandhi ft. warren behir
these songs all sound very different, they sound more rocky than hip hop i think thats why, i like this Spoken poetry one he put up though, the other song i liked was stabat matter but they sound very different. honestly i don't mind if we leave it off coz while i liked the rhymes and flow of that Lost in Transmission track i didn't like the chorus so i don't mind if its left off, i don't think brent will mind.
you do know that was one of the first tracks i ever made, right?
no i didnt lol, nvm then

that was dope to you????
the beat is nice (easy to get stuck in your head) and arunavi sounds like the pharcyde
Quote (eboyd)
what about it didn't you like?
its alright but the beat's not something id be playing on repeat (especially when im feeling sick :'( ) "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
