I would've liked to hear more lyrics from Dazey, particularly in that EXHAUSTINGLY ANTICLIMACTIC ENDING ARGGGH!!! ...I envision a more epic ending with her singing something ...victorious while you rap about slaying something. Or maybe you could have just repeated your last stanza.

But otherwise, I really like this.

I normally don't listen to rap and I don't care for hip hop altogether but I liked the creativity in this song, albeit with some issues here and there. The big one, for me, is that the lyrics weren't delivered in a way that would get me pumped up and just didn't impress. The instrumental part of the song seemed really bland. I know in rap songs the vocals definitely outshine the instruments but there wasn't even a powerful bassline here. On the other hand the whole idea of this song is great. I wonder how it would have turned out if it was produced with a metal style in mind.

I may have found some of the rapping iffy... BUT, daaayyyuummm man.

This was equal parts epic and silly. But it takes itself seriously, so you know what?

Rock.

It doesn't take a hip-hop listener to realize that not all rap songs have a party-centred theme to it. In fact, alot of raps are created to make the listener reflect on the lyrics rather than get a drive to dance or do something different with their lives. The purpose of a radio drama is to paint a picture rather than move the crowd. Think of it as an audio version of what happens when the TV show Smallville collides with The Hero of Time on-line movie (only with cheese and quality).

This is the bomb. Rap is not really my thing but this is just awesome and the lyrics are just plain fun to listen to.

I want MORE!

This captures the "off"-vibe of Majora's Mask. The beginning is dark and frail. I think we love the samples of Link's long-fall-scream, and the Skull Kid's giggle. Lyrics slightly weak as halc said, but the chills down my spine at the excellently-captured "spirit" of the game itself more than compensate for that.

I listened to this twice when I first download it. Meaning: the taste of this remix did not take long to acquire.

djpretzel is right: Majora's Mask needs more love. (Wish I had the knowledge and resources to remix ).

Lastly: I like the rhyme about the fairy in a bottle keeping death at away.

The lyrics are a bit cheesy. I can definitely hear where the "musical" comment comes from. The arrangement is demented, and I may hear some (hed)p.e. influence in there, especially in the rapping. Pretty nice stuff -- good work.

Obviously, if you simply can't abide rap and/or singing in your mixes, this probably won't be your cup of tea...
That quote by djpretzel pretty much sums up how I feel about this genre. However, my typical mantra is that I enjoy any music done well, and I must say, this is certainly executed well. The intro was great and there lots of pieces that I felt really shine. Great job!

My vote on this track didn't really cover my thoughts well on the track as a whole, for which I apologize. :/

Overall this is an awesome track and well-executed concept. Production can only get better from here on out, but having the spark of inspiration that can bring a sweet track like this to life is rare.

Absolutely love this one. Thank you for creating it.

Thank you for everyones awesome comments. It was a lot of fun making this track. I definitely recognize the production issues, especially the fact that the 2nd half isn't quite as good as the first. I will be the first to say I probably wrapped the project up too quick without really putting as much focus into the second half as much as I did the first.

Also - Yeah, I know it's cheesy, I mean come on people....it's a rap about video games....there's no way to make that "cool" or "hardcore" in anyway lol. I also realize that my rap isn't a perfect depiction of what happens in the game, but the whole point of this stuff is to have fun and bring a fantasy to life.

I have let my girlfriend know that there are a lot of people asking to hear her vocals again so naturally she's bugging me to start a new project, but we'll see what happens =P

Again, thanks to everyone who's helped me to get this song submitted. I'm definitely looking forward to my next project....whenever that may be. :D
