i'm a rapper/producer with beatbox and old school influences.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
i think if mp3s could've been introduced to the public more wisely, so all this RIAA sh*** could be avoided. you don't pay for it, so its basically free music right? whats the difference between that and the radio? i stole songs off the radio with a cassette recorder.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
with a major label? depends which label. i wouldn't sign with any major hiphop labels though, because they represent everything i am against...cash, gangs, violence, sex, etc...you know, the whole rapper stereotype. ...there are no local labels i am interested in associating with. i will stick to making albums out my house.
Band History:
i've been listening to hiphop for a while. started freestyle rapping and writing songs in 1999. i also was into the breaking scene from 2000-2002. this is when i was enlightened that there was more to the music, there was an actual culture. i got into beatboxing in the year 2000 and started listening to more old school rap, then eventually got into some of the lesser known current artists. i started producing an album in 2003 and finished it early 2004. i am currently working on another one that will probably be finished next year.
DISCOGRAPHY
Mouth Music Radio
this was a learning experience for me. i never had any experience recording music or making beats before this. so this album isn't all that great, the last few tracks i did were quality though. i was really into beatboxing back then, so there is more of an emphasis on the beatboxing rather than the rapping. "Rhyme Exhibition" was produced by a friend of mine, and it just showed how well i can play with words. "Vocal Scratching" showed how i can create sound effects to sound like an actual turntable. "Whats the Deal with You" was written based on a life experience.
Word of Mouth[unfinished]
this album is still in the works. from the feedback of my last, most people liked the rap tracks, and i've also been writing alot. my rhymes are more intricate than the average rapper. i hope i can finish this before 2005 ends. expect the instrumentals to be a mix of "The Roots", "Jurassic 5", and "Kanye West". the song content will not be empty lyrics, expect some deep and personal shit. I hope to inspire and influence with this album.

Equipment used:
just a microphone
Anything else...?
i just need to get something off my mind. hip-hop is hip-hop is hip-hop. i sick of all these underground heads starting "underground vs mainstream" arguments and listening strictly to nothing but underground shit. saying stuff like "ice cube isn't real hip hop". just because YOU don't like the song doesn't mean its not hip hop. Underground and Mainstream have two different audiences, two different styles, two different messages, but they are both the same genre. so just stop it.
