Myf! Where the HELL have you been?
....
... oh. That makes sense, I guess. Good to see you back here, though!
To be fair, a good half of the time spent away, I was stewing in my own discontent and apathy. The whole music thing really blossomed as a way to escape that phase of my life.
Sob story, i know.

oh hey what's up DS! How you been?

So, I checked the rules for WIP:O and discovered that posted remixers can have one thread a month in Community Discussion. Last I checked, I was a posted remixer, but please inform me if this thread needs to be moved somewhere else...
What's up, OCR? It has been a VERY long time since I last posted on these forums, but I'm back again (to someone's chagrin) with news of original material and a remixing proposal for all of you!
So in the time I've been gone I've been working on my hip hop 'career', doing shows, putting out music and generally trying to make a name for myself in the local and online scenes. The culmination of all this work is the release of the Grayscale, my debut album. Now, I remember OCR as not really having too big of a hip hop community but I figure I'll drop this here and see what you think.
The album is available here for streaming and downloading purposes. Enjoy (or not) and let me know what you think!
Furthermore, I'm going to be releasing a megasingle for (radio purposes) of Snakecharmers/Flametongue, two of the tracks on the album. The acapella for Snakecharmers is online here and I was curious to see if anyone on OCR was interested in remixing the track. The way I see it, the five best remixes will be featured on the single that I use to promote to radio/XM/internets/etc. Feel free to hit me back with any questions regarding this project.
That much being said, I've been tossing the idea of doing some more hip hop game remixes around...don't be too surprised if you see my name up in the judging sometime soon!

Reuben was an extremely talented and friendly person. I had a few chances to talk to him a while back and he never came off as anything less than a great guy. It's a damn shame for him to go at such a young age.

mmm, i've been pretty much awol from here for the past month or so, so I haven't put my name down for anything like this, however, given the close proximity to my house (as opposed to the last mag i went to), i will do my best to be there this time.
UH HUH AND HOPEFULLY IT DOESN'T TURN OUT LIKE LAST YEAR.
last year it was a 2 1/2 - 3 hour drive. This year its 30 minutes. i might not even get a room.

Gray popped on AIM in July to give people a "last notice". I assume he popped on more recently to confirm these details of his leaving but the last time I talked to him was then.

We didn't but you make bad assumptions nonetheless.
I read the entire series (up to that point) back in middle school.
-
I'll be sure to use them from now on.
-
To be honest, none of us are completely sure that he still actually exists.
I'm pretty sure he's just a sentient being who's grown out of the massive information exchange of the internet, similar to, but not exactly like, Jane, from the Speaker of the Dead trilogy.
Or I could be wrong.
We discussed this at Jill's house that one day. It was pretty funny (and freakishly possible)

In December 2003, Gray responded to a wip thread I made where I instructed judges to "AIM ME PLZ" with comments. Over the next two and a half years, Gray became a mentor to me, molding me from a noobish FL beginner to what I am today (take that as you will).
From that day up until the last day he popped online (mid July) we talked without fail almost every day. He was always willing to give critique and listen to my constant slew of wips and in exchange, I got to hear a lot of his works in progress before anyone else did (I still have a rough wip of Sacratus Bellator that's drastically different from the final version). Along with that, he was always up for a game of chess, literati, poker, or whatever. I also got him addicted to anime and opened his mind to rap music.
It's a damn shame and I'll miss him tons. He's probably the first person I ever really TALKED to on OCR and - if I may make a lame cheesy middle school comment - probably was my best friend on this site.
Internet death rite?

I can't wait. Expect me to go buckwild with them when you release the sfs.

Seeing as how there's some time before release, I'm rewriting parts of my mix out so that it a) sounds better and
it'll pass on the panel resubmit.

Does anyone know any real down side to this:

Snapple wanks at work.

Ok, this is not a request for FREE samples. It's a general request for samples and I'll probably be willing to pay for them.
I'm looking for pop string packs or string samples that would sound good in a specific pop setting - being "60s - 70s" soul/funk/orchestral crud. They need to be versatile and sound good.
Any takers?

a reindeer like GrayLightning

Larry, would it be entirely possible for me to get a Wu Tang avatar? Or is that beyond the limits of the OCR avatar criteria?

It's nowhere near as stupid as the keytar.
Hey, it's been a while! (Album release + Remix Proposal)

Thanks, man! I've been trying to get involved with a new movement in renaissance hip hop and hone my game at the same time.
Haha, yeah I have. You gotta start somewhere though. Link me up to some of the instrumentals you've been working on.
If they'd let me, I'd love to perform there again. That's a great show.
