Jabbott1313
08.24.15 | dammn, was not expecting it to be this dope |
RadicalEd
08.24.15 | not bad at all, although the production is pretty rough around the edges on a few tracks. |
JAV
08.24.15 | This is pretty legit, nice work. |
Hurricanslash
08.24.15 | This is good enough that I can't make fun of it. Nah, just kidding, this is actually pretty dope, gotta listen more closely soon. But yeah, tighten up your production. |

08.25.15 | "I Wrote a Rap Tape"
this alone makes me fairly certain this is gonna be terrible |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
08.25.15 | dat album art is rad doe, listening now |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
08.25.15 | the mixing on the first track is terrible as fuck but aside from that im actually surprised at how not shitty it is |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
08.25.15 | wow second song too. the stereo is painfully imbalanced, it was an extremely poor decision to weigh the vocals and bass so heavily to the left, it sounds like ass
if you guys mixed this better it would be pretty coo |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
08.25.15 | track 3 is much more balanced |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
08.25.15 | yeah this is tight once u get past those 2 tracks where the mixing is like "wtf were u thinking" |
RadicalEd
08.25.15 | The rapping on here is surprisingly solid. Adding to what potsy said about the mixing, I think generally the beats are a bit to sparse and minimalistic, although I dig the general direction of it. |

08.25.15 | re: mixing sucks, tell me about it
That's what we get for using shitty rips of the instrumentals off of YouTube. Initially this project was intended as a practice run cause we'd never really written songs before, just rando verses, and we were just gonna show it to a couple friends and family and then get to work on a real release. But then as we wrote we realized these songs were kinda decent so we decided to just drop it for real, but by then it was too late to change the beats, so some of them (the first two, the 7th which is Nas' made you look beat) are older dustier beats made even dustier by going through the shitty youtube ripper and they became basically unmixable. Well, basically unmixable for us given that we also don't know shit about mixing and mostly had to mix the tape ourselves...
But yeah tldr though agreed, this tape is veeeeery rough, got some work to do going forward into the next project
Preciate the love tho gents |
demigod!

Lord(e)Po)))ts

deathofasalesman
08.26.15 | Gettin mad Typical Cats vibe. I dig it. |
GnarlyShillelagh
08.26.15 | Salute Demi/doas, speaking of typical cats I was listening to them a month or two ago and had that same feeling, but I thought it was just bc we each had 3 rappers lol. Not a bad comparison to have on the resume tho, they're dope
Pots: link beats |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
08.27.15 | K I will later I have hundreds of tracks ur bound to find some shit u dig not even shine blockin tho u guys are good rappers and it's hard to come by good rappers these days so it would be my pleasure |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
08.27.15 | Hard to come by ones to work with that is, especially west coast where everyone is lazy and baked and just raps about their pineal gland |
Halfman
08.28.15 | I usually just assume everyone who says they can rap sucks, but you guys are actually really good. Which one are you? On Taffy, first, second, or third? |
GnarlyShillelagh
08.28.15 | Danke danke pots, sounds good.
Halfman thanks bro, yeah I think everyone just naturally assumes that haha, everyone is always surprised when they listen to us and like what they're hearing. And I'm the first guy on taff |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
08.30.15 | aye so u guys seem to be down with more eclectic beats. im pretty all over the place stylistically so theres a lot of house and downtempo and garage and shit that wouldnt work for hip hop across my discog but theres also a lot of pretty janky beats and shit that i think you might like. you'll just have to kinda take a looksie and do some exploring. skim through these albs first i'd say;
https://solarmasscollective.bandcamp.com/album/constellation-crus-ce-n
https://solarmasscollective.bandcamp.com/album/s-y-k-m-i-k-lik-crem-i-n-gr-unds
https://solarmasscollective.bandcamp.com/album/s-y-k-m-ii-iv-m-un-k-il-s
https://solarmasscollective.bandcamp.com/album/sekhe-l-dy-f-sl-ugh-er-mis-ress-f-dre-d
the first is a collab of me and a bud and the following 3 are just me. there might be some stuff scattered across those that you dig. lots of glitchy beats.
if u go to the discog 90% of the shit on there is me so and everything is free download in high quality so feel free to peruse anything on that bandcamp and use whatever you like. theres a shit tonne of stuff and it would be my pleasure to be a part of what u guys r doin
