JakeDeLorey wrote: WTFBBS – the rhythm track had me, but as soon as the lyrics came in it lost me. Not sure if rap is the genre you should stick with. The English bloke wasn’t so bad, but the flow of these lyrics is just not working for me. Not on my list of repeat plays.
AJOwens wrote: WTFBBS - Great rhythm track. The rap still isn't convincing. I don't know why; if I tried rap it would probably sound like this, so what can I tell you? The music seems like it would work though. In fact its rich wall-of-sound approach pushes the envelope for a rap backing, and has a lot of promise.
Thanks you two, for the comments on the backing music. We rushed through this song, and I got that together in about an hour. I've more things buzzing around in my head backing music wise.
scrapheap wrote: WTFBBS: Um, no. Please stop trying to rap w/ a voice like this. Perhaps I don't like nerdcore either...? There's no flow and no presence or force behind the words. Oh, now y'all decided to say fuck it and go play a video game. Works for me, just maybe don't submit the song next time.
Again, we were playing around, laid down our tracks fairly fast, and were just having fun with the song. We're still growing as a group, and are debating venturing out of the nerdcore scene. It's just what the boys are comfortable with (since I'm not very comfortable with using my voice yet. I'm more an instrument kind of girl)
Hoblit wrote: WTF: I don't have much to say about this because it's not within the realms of what I like and I don't much care for anything content wise. I'll say that the programming wasn't bad. Oh, and I did like the 'Mommy Voice' reference.
Thanks :D It's what I get for being the oldest member of the group. The boys get out of hand, I rein them in with the mommy voice. It works wonders.
glennny wrote: Who The Frak’s Berkeley Biker Scene?- Interesting backing music. The nerdcore rap is not my thing at all. The flow is terrible for the Yank and the Brit. The girl isn’t great but not terrible. The backing music cracks me up.
What The Fuck Bulletin Board System :D And I hope that the backing music cracks you up in a good way? And I'm working on improving my singing/rapping/what have you.

All in all, thanks you guys for the constructive criticism. Yet again, we'll use it to improve and hopefully be back soon with another entry.

Shush, Lanke.
What I meant is venturing out of the traditional nerdcore scene. Making something that's Nerdcore, but with our own twist to it.

Not Fluffy? On that note, I think there is value in this song. I even like the content. I think the vocal performance suffers a bit. Keep working on it. It always gets better with practice. It's a bit repetitive though. Needs a little change up. I can appreciate that the layers are added as the song goes on.
I totally don't know how to respond to this.

How about "See, Scrap Heap? Work at it long and hard enough and you can graduate from godawful to mediocre, JUST LIKE ME."

Fluffy, that's a long way around to tell Scrap Heap that you think he's "god awful"!
