my brother listens to rap. i hate rap.

one day i told him i could write this shit. he didn't believe me. so i did.

instrumentation: the hat and bells are modified single-hit samples from a free demo sample disc. the snare is sonic decimated XD-5 snare. all synths are Korg MS-2000 (all programmed by me from init).
notice the complete lack of any kind of kick drum. ;)

whassup? ya…
vynl Overdrive back at you with another phat track
this one goes out to all my homies in warrenville.
that's right
warrenville!
and all my buddies laying down their own beats.
straight up midi-quantized hardcore synthesized cut n' paste sample style.
watch v0 lay it down like a cracker.

bitch can ya feel the bass
i'm all over the place
and all up in your face
rattling your braincase
with my ms2000
rock your block in a second
knock you all on your backend
from new york to new zealand
i got this midi sh*** down
i make dre look like a clown
knock poor jay-z around
making nelly step down
do you write your own beats
ya bunch of lazy deadbeats
go hide under your sheets
and suck on mommie's teats.

chorus:
i say hey bi*** you ain't got nothin on me
'cept a couple of million and some multi platinum CD's
and a couple of cars
and a house or three
and a bi*** on your arm that would probably never touch me

so i kick in the bassline around 80 hz
turn up the filter attack 'till it's so punchy it hurts
keep my leads up hi for some separation
leave my vocals some space above the bassy foundation
keep my snare 'round 2+4 with a gate and distortion
to tweak the hi's and keep 'em, in proportion
drop the mid's down a bit, and around 300 too
and hi-pass around 30 for you master EQ

chorus

i got an 8 bar intro, kick it in with the bass
then verse-chorus verse-chorus, ya gotta keep it in place
then after the bridge comes verse #3
finish it off with the chorus, standard structure ya see
no pre-set loops, no pre-set sound,
no sampling songs, i'm not jokin' around
i don't mean to sound like some lecturing dad
i just wanted to show you that it isn't that bad

chorus

unless i paid her...
