The Song Fight Bulletin Board

Oh man , I'm really excited about this already. I love Sober on the original, he sounds like Ad Rock.

So, who does the beats anyway?

Well, it was me last time, and most likely this time too. There's so much eq chaos between everybody's different vocal setup, i think it's better if the beats poop out of one source.

I did try to match the, uh, "sub-beat" to each rapster last time.

Damn Phil, that was Shweeet! Where do I sign?

So how does this work, precisely? I mean, I got the gist, but I'm assuming that you just give us set time allottments and we go from there, correct?

OK.

Largely the same deal as last time.

Here's four bars of drums: Boom Claps
BPM = 190

Y'get two sets of four lines. First set should include some kind of, you know, identification.
As an added bonus, interested parties kin also submit one single line, where the last word rhymes with "Fight" (but isn't "fight")
ALSO: single hit "what" or "ungh" or "yo" or whatever are encouraged! (Break out the party hats.)

Go ahead and send 'em as .wavs (or, if you have to, 256kbps mp3s [or, you know, whatever]) to phil@tartpop.com.
Please send each verse as separate files (without the beat in the background, thank you!), & try to resist EQing 'em, ok?


DUE DATE: MONDAY, BREAKFAST.

Looking forward to it, guys!

(any questions, please consult USRT1)

I think the file isn't working. I only got a 24KB bleep.

Oh, for cryin' out loud.

Ha ha, Thanks, Niv.

Fix'd.

Okay, now I've got 24KB clap-ca-clap. Am I missing something?

Hmm. I checked it out, looks like it should work. It's 318K , so... Try saving it again?

SUCCESS! Thanks Phil.

Do we send it mixed with the drums, or just the vocals alone?

EDIT: Never mind ... just noticed you said already.

Hmm. I am in.

Count me in!

How quickly do you expect to put this project together once everybody has sent in their stuff? I figured I'd ask before the due date even came up so that it would be clear that I'm just curious and not totally impatient.

Hmmm. This could be tough. I'm in Hong Kong. Will have to see if I can find a mic.

SPUD

oops, i forgot about this ... need to write words.

For some reason, that makes me think of like some crazy Buckaroo Bonzai / Big Trouble in Little China - style romp. I just thought somebody might appreciate knowing that Spud is enough of an internet icon to conjure up bizarre residual impressions simply by changing physical locations.

I'd be pretty amazed if it took me past wednesday.
In fact:
WEDNESDAY, BREAKFAST.

Mine is sent. You ROCK Phil.
I hope cussing is ok, I was trying to be true to the art. 8)

Just got home from a short trip. Not sure if I have time or energy to do this, but it's definitely tempting.
