Good question thanks for asking it means being your self and not caring what people think, doing what you want, and freestyling your music but in one take. There's more to it like theres levels for it. I'm still kind of learning - basedjesus

Always worked for me. On a positive note I'm glad to see that the OP is still "kind of" learning. That degree of modesty presages greatness or I'll eat my Fedora lightly grilled.

Oh there goes my change of artistic direction - Bowie re-invented himself all the time too. My millions of devoted followers will be disappointed.

Now stop baiting him!
He has already shown himself to be a master of baiting.

Wow that's some intense thought provoking lyrics. It's going to take me a few days to process that kind of genius.

Perhaps, or maybe something stronger like some pure MDMA?

I'm 43 and no I don't use MDMA. Was thinking maybe that's what it would take to "get on his level"?

Depends, back in our day it was MDA (the love drug as it was called) instead of the closely related yet modern MDMA (ecstasy).

Cripes, I went through the sixties on the road and the strongest thing I ever saw was aspirin and coke! I have to take morphine occasionally for a hip problem, you can keep it, I'll stick to a decent bottle of Brunello any day

Never tried either myself actually, just remember it being discussed way back when. I'm sure I made my rounds back then but I was always sensible enough to know when to stop; a number of buddies not so much, RIP.

I played in a band in the seventies with a younger drummer. He did so much hash I wonder if he's still around. It was no good to me I tried playing live pissed once and high on hash once and though I felt good at the time I was useless playing. Never bothered doing it again. But a bottle of Brunello.......

OK. I'm not real familiar with trap / modern-style hip hop but I'll give my two cents on the way it sounds.
First thing I notice is that the balance is off. You should always use reference tracks when mixing, otherwise your track's balance will be off. Import a couple of tracks into your session that you like, in the style you're making, and flick between listening to them and your own mix for comparison. Then try and adjust your levels so that it's a closer match.
For example, the kick drum needs to be much louder in mix. From what I've heard, this style usually has that booming 808 kick in the centre of the song. Tune the drum - fiddle with the pitch till it sounds best in the mix - and decay settings if you're using a drum machine plugin, then put a compressor on it, make it loud.
Use a short reverb on other drums / cymbals and on your vocals, it helps things sound like they belong in the same recording. Otherwise you get parts that sound like they were recorded in different places, eg some things will sound like they're in an alleyway, other parts in a closet, etc. Stops things from sounding too dry as well.
Put a compressor on your vocals to level them out so that words don't go missing. Use a filter to cut out some of the bottom end that doesn't need to be there, otherwise it makes the mix muddy. Try putting a little delay on the vocals. This is an oldschool example, but a similar effect might work in your track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEdEcxyxiU4
Some of the panning seems extreme, don't know if that's a stylistic thing or not though.
The bass seems to be mostly from some synth pads, again don't know if that's a thing or not. Generally the mix sounds like the bottom end is too quiet relative to everything else.
Hope that helps. Grab a copy of this if you can it's excellent: http://www.amazon.com/Mixing-Secrets...eywords=mixing

You are rapping over someone else's track correct?
Not trying to be disrespectful but the lyrics are pretty horrible. They mean nothing. Freestyling is Only great when there's substance.
Lil Wayne's free style: https://youtu.be/xsyEjQ8a8XI
Eminems freestyle: https://youtu.be/KwyOfqbP8JU
Whats the ddifference?
The intent of coming up with Real lyrics.
And cool it on the "I'm hard"and shit. Its a dead give away of your actual experience. Think about it like comedy, if a comedian uses Fuck in every joke... Suddenly the fucks Have less power in the room. Same goes for using capital letters Also, if you didn't make the beat, include who made it.
Sorry if this is brute dude, just my initial thoughts

I'm really not familiar with this style of music but to me it just sounds lazy. You put up a backing tracking and just try and rhyme over it. I'm thinking if you write the lyrics before you record you can tell a story and not just put words together that make no sense. I have heard eminem and even though its not something I'm into I can see the effort he puts in to his style. I honestly have a hard time believing that you are even serious when you post these videos. Sorry to sound harsh but that is what I'm hearing.

OPI seemed to nail a lot of it. You can do based stuff, but be good at it. Make it stand out in some way as unique and stylize. What you're presently doing sounds to random with no "cleverness," even if it's supposed to be spontaneous. A lot of times it seemed so silly that most folk (myself include) just thought you were clowning around. But if you are serious, you gotta bring something besides just "off the cuff." Like "off the cuff" with a bit of natural flare. A style you can be recognized by. I'm being as real and respectful as I can because your OP made it seem as though you guys want to do something with this.

I honestly don't know what to say. I listened to three or so videos you posted before, but didn't comment because I thought, honestly, you were just trolling, and I didn't want to hop on the bandwagon.
I don't know what to say about the piece. The vocals are distorting, obviously a very cheap mic. The rap has no rhythm or presence. The rap itself feels generic and uninspired, like you got stoned and just said whatever popped into your head. I know your thing is off-the-cuff freestyling, but my suggestion would be to find a cheap preamp for your mic, cut back on the levels, work up a script or two for practice and then do improvs based on the script. Don't want to do that, fine. But find out what makes your rapping work and do that. Experiment a bit more, work hard. It sort of feels like you just really don't care but want the love to come. Everything we do in music takes solid work.
I have faith that you can achieve whatever you want to. My best recommendation would be to put your preconceptions aside and push yourself as hard as you can. What this is, though, doesn't work.

That is really bad. Dont you learn anything? That sounds as if someone with a headset and no plan has some HipHop in the room next door on the stereo and raps to it into the computer.
I stopped playing that after 30 seconds. I dont think there comes anything after what could change my mind about that.

Before someone can improvise or do freestyling he has to have skills and achieved some degree of master in what he does. Freestyling without knowing anything and without any abilities is the same as placing a little kid into a space shuttle and let it "freestyle" try to fly to the ISS.
Improvising and freestyle is the diametrical opposite of no-knowledge and no skills. See Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Eminem, and so on and on and on... Without a skillset every "art" turns to simply BS.
Next time you post anything in here thats the same as before, I will give you a definition of something, that will help you on your way...

I would suggest reading a book above a 2nd grade reading level. Maybe a dictionary too. Not to sound like a dick because you come off as a pretty cool person. But freestyle is about lyrical substance with meaning. Then worry about mixing, decent mic, etc.
