Re-records usually sound worst than the original imo



what! :flabbynsick:


this sounds disgraceful. Washed up DMX doing a karaoke version of his own shyt over a beat that sounds like a YouTube remake on FL Studio.

these artists can’t even recreate their own vibe in a controlled studio environment.

To be fair expecting an artist to recreate something similar in vibe to some shyt they did over 20y ago is a tall order

Add to the fact this is DMX we're taking about... :wtf:

When EPMD released their greatest hits album in 1999, they had to re-record the songs they wanted to include from their first two albums, because the masters weren't owned by Def Jam.

I don't think it's a bad idea to re-record old songs, especially if you put out the original song when you were really young. You could do it with an improved voice, add some new arrangements, change up some of the lyrics that didn't make sense before. Just don't wait to do it when you're :flabbynsick: and don't have the chops anymore.

Also, I know I'm alone here, but this version >>>>>>>>>> the original:

Noone said anything at all about CDs smh

I own 2 160 gb ipods

One has 35k+ songs on it and it isnt full

The other one is empty

But you gotta buy the songs, right? Unless you d/l illegally, which is fine.

Can somebody explain how this re-recording stuff works what happeneds if the artist didn’t write the song would this re-record be double pay for the original songwriter ?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's due to the fact that the label own that specific master of the song, that specific recording of it and not the actual lyrics itself.
So in theory you could replay/recreate the instrumental of the song, re-record the whole song from scratch and you can own that version.
