I don't actually care why you don't like Joe Cam or his music, because it doesn't matter what the reason is for you trolling Joe Cam. Stop bringing up Joe Cam in every thread tangentially related to rap music. If you did a Christian rap to a Kirby beat about life's preciousness and spirituality, and someone complained it was too squeaky clean & syrupy, and constantly trolled YOU about not representing rap the proper way, the response would be the same. You can't do that here. Artistic expression is valued here. It's one thing to say you prefer clean/classic rap to gangsta/vulgar rap. It's another to then ALWAYS BRING UP JOE CAM and proceed to remind everyone that you don't like his music and that if he just listened to YOU on what kind of music he should make, then he would be much better and you would be much happier. If you can't show up in a rap thread and just say your piece without prodding Joe Cam, then just don't say anything.

This whole discussion is based on the assumption that a game company or several game companies issued the YouTube copyright takedowns. That would be fine to argue about, except that's not what happened, as I pointed out earlier. It's a moot point. FYI: Game companies did not issue the copyright takedowns that got SilvaGunner's channel YouTube suspended.

You're not gonna get banned, but you really need to just leave it be re: Joe Cam and vulgar rappers who cuss. You don't like it. We get it. People will still cuss and be vulgar. You'll be alright.

McDonalds I'm lovin' it.

No, that's not him. That channel's by some weirdo. His alternate channel is http://youtube.com/SilvaGunner2 and he won't be uploading content to it. Just to clarify, SilvaGunner never made money from the videos or had partner status. He got 1 strike from Viacom having a Team America clip, which he had uploaded back before he dedicated his channel to VGM. The 2nd came from the Record Industry Association of Japan for "Hikari" from Kingdom Hearts. Don't know what the 3rd strike was for yet. AFAIK, game companies weren't responsible for the takedown.

Hahaha, I'm very glad we didn't keep it, but I loved that song too. That's why I'm OCR's bad cop. But there was one fan, man, he pleaded and pleaded with us in the "Ocarina Boogie" review thread to keep it, and I just wasn't having it. Obvious removal candidate is obvious.

Just wanted to quickly co-sign on this great mix. This had cool, fun lyrics, but what really grabbed me (and will catch the ear of a lot of others), was the beat that immediately opened things up. You're mileage on the repetitiveness of the chorus may vary, but the different drop-ins right before "get a weapon weapon" and behind "ride so high" threw in some variation to not let things get stale. I always love hearing the latest mix that sounds nothing like any other mix. Awesome stuff, and hopefully not the last submission we hear from Sean & Dave. YES

Nah, we just put randomized dates on there to amuse ourselves.

As long as the tags aren't altered, and the proper credit is there (which is the case here), we WANT OC ReMixes to be redistributed. We encourage it. That said, I can't wait until we re-release the individual mixes. The updated tags are so much better!

I am also making this bet.

Winner winner, chicken dinner! http://twitter.com/Hiroki_Kikuta/status/25945152188

MOAR Lossless OC ReMixes, plz. Lemme know if you gotz 'em, artists!

Gone. :'-(

At this stage, I'm all good, but will definitely post if anything comes up.

djp has a lot on his plate. When he thinks it's a good time for it and has time for it, we'll get it done. We want to make sure to do it right.

Agreed with Vinnie that it's case-by-case, but re: Haunted Hell, removing that mix had less to do with the outside sampling, and more to do with using the original game audio, as opposed to re-arranging it. The Fight Club music sampling didn't help either. Basically direct audio sampling of any kind needs to be sparing, but SFX and spoken word stuff is generally fine. When direct audio sampling of VGM or outside music becomes a foundation of the track, then it becomes problematic.

Got fixed soon after you posted, so I appreciate the lookout!

We have general album art by djpretzel, but it's still not 100% final, so I won't be giving it out. But eventually, it'll be out there.

I probably just transcribed it incorrectly. That fix will be live relatively soon. I'll catch up on older posts this weekend as well. So I've bothered Starla like 4 times about lyrics for "8-bit Eighties", and she LOL'ed it off saying there were only like 2 lines. But there are SO MUCH MORE LINEZ, DON"T LIE, GIRL! So we're going to either decipher her lyrics OR pester her into providing the actual lyrics! First stab with bootleg complementary airline headphones while juggling work! M-M-M-Mario He's the man Ooh, ooh Baby, touch and go [?] Go, Mario Ooh, ooh [?] Who you are [?] I love my mario He's such a good guy Mario! He's a sweetie too He's such a ? ? Mario... Will you marry me? Ohh, hey Mario, you're so fine You're so fine you blow my mind Hey, Mario Yeah yeah, hey, Mario M-M-M-Mario He's the man Ooh, ooh Baby, touch and go [?] Go, Mario Ooh, ooh [?] Who you are [?] So, Mario He's a ladies' man And a great dancer With a moustache Ohhh, Mario You're so cool So-so-so-so righteous He doesn't even break a sweat

Indeed, I'm really feeling the attention to detail here. Everything was always flowing and evolving. Excellent arrangement, and great textures throughout. All hail halc, our 9-bit overlord! YES

I figured. That said, I'll need WAVs (preferable) or already encoded MP3s & FLACs so that I can prepare the files. Let me know what I can get those and I can help move that along when I have time.

Who's in the what now?

Can't believe I didn't comment on this. I could see why someone wouldn't like the synths here, but I've always been a big fan of this track. There's nothing else like it on OCR. It makes great running music.
