being an emcee is about closing out on the breaks. Sohh moving to far away from the 4/4 break is a bit counter productive. Yet it is all still 4/4 even if you chsnge the scale. Double time is already made with this ideal. Where i am not a fan of the pigeon hole of all rap being double time. As i never seen no double time emcee off the head be overly nice all the time. Sohh i am not for moving around in that manner of time. Especially when most rapper have not mastered the break to begin with.

Not immune. To seeing this in nature tho.
the first people i ever saw worK in this ideal was bon n nip.
Way before i heard anyone try it past simple double time.

Eminem did this on kill you.
I feel pac kinda rhymed in this manner as his general thug life deathrow skillset too.
Sohh it is there in the marketplace.

Like generally there in the market place.
from pac fans work who bite pac.

do you think there could ever be a progressive movement in rap? for instance, a lot of 'progressive' rock bands formed in the late 60s, in reaction to the monotony of the 4/4 beat. i know hiphop requires more "feeling" than rock to catch the beat, but do you think something like that could ever happen?

again i admit im smoking an L right now lol but the thought of it and the potential music that could come out of it would be incredible.

i would love to hear a rap song in 7/4. especially wildly lyrical! it could be done with compound measures, counting 4+3+4+3 and so on. i just wonder if anyone even cares enough anymore to experiment and try something new.

i play music out here where i live and i gotta say... i get some losers, lol. some people can play amazing but they have no passion, and vice versa. its tough as a rock musician because most people just want to play cover songs at bars. they dont wanna write anything.

idk man im stuck

sorry for the rant but im frustrated as hell lol

Moving away from the break is counterproductive.

As the general rapper is not a skilled emcee.

Sohh i know what you mean. Yet the overall skill to do it does.not generally exist.

nikkaz need to learn how to rhyne proficiently.
past the eight mile lie of g unit technical skills everyone in general bites. while not understanding .
the technical accumen to what they are doing. So it creates extreme disconnect. Which is why most artist do not resonate.
The rapper in the marketplace has to be proficient. When the akill level of being an emcee is totally disconnectsd from being the misappropriated title or term of rapper.

his best work to me was on Ray Luv's album. Which also could be mentioned in this thread.

Yeah that was more great work from Khayree. Definition of a Hustla is my favorite track on that album. I love the way the last verse ends with the whole singing & rapping mix.

And of course there was Get My Money On from a few years before that.
