Nekofrog Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I am fully prepared for the backlash that my track creates when the project is released and people hear it. It has several strikes against it for most average listeners 1. There are vocals 2. Said vocals are death metal growls 3. Song is heavier than your average VG cover (by a mile) The only thing it has going for it maybe are that the lyrics are very humorous, but still some people will skip it five seconds in once they hear the vocals. Their loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hale-Bopp Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I hope everyone digs my rapping. I've never rapped before, so I just improvised all over the track. I kept the first take cuz it was the best. I'm a pretty good rapper considering how white I am! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

José the Bronx Rican Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I really hope you actually did rap. Please don't disappoint me, Hale! He really, actually did rap, and it's hot shit. Choruses kinda stink, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Strader Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 As the death metal vocalist I think I can safely share my opinion on rap vocals. There's actually a lot of similarity between death vocals and rap vocals. Death vocals, mainly monotone, with a ferocious changing of pitch between growling and screaming, but not really based too much on melody. Usually based on rhythmic timing. Rap vocals on the other hand... usually pretty much the same thing, but without the growling or screaming. Monotone, almost like speaking in a rhythmic manner. Though I believe growls can express a lot more emotion than raping. Rap vocals stop being rap vocals when they introduce melody or auto-tune, with the exception of douchebags like Kanye West who put auto-tune on their monotone talking. I'm obviously biased so I can't say one is better than the other, I'll just say they are fairly equal, at least on the surface. It takes a lot more vocal effort and control to be able to pull off a constant string of growling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Strader Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Ahah, well realize I was also being extremely generous in an attempt to not piss off any rap fans. But I wasn't talking hip hop. I was talking rap. And I clearly said I don't consider melodious auto-tune vocals and choruses to be rap. I don't care if you call it bubble gum tic-tac marzipan kit-kat rap. Rap is rap.

Crulex Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 So, two green tracks, two orange and one brown track, awesome! This seems to be moving along nicely. I look forward to Hale's rapping. And I think I'll stay out of the line of fire on the Death Metal vs. Rap issue, manly because I like both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTAHater836 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Has this project, by any chance, been delayed into next year? I can't tell if those last 5 tracks will have their final WIPs before Halloween, and the Unknown Mega Man 9 Project is scheduled for December 15.
