Old times were better.

[,-,'-{Bar}-',-,]

beats sounded kool

[Kosovic]

I know they did. Thing is, how we make them from scratch.

[B.A.D.]

we got plenty of producers on tr who can help out

[,-,'-{Bar}-',-,]

^^^and there is one big problem stopping the mixtape

We have a couple producers, but unless this will be the shortest mixtape ever, we don't have enough

and what if they can't make beats that Cocca likes, since he is the head of this whole thing

mc's get final decision on beats my freind, i think harlem was just meaning he doesnt want comercial american style on the tape witch is kool and gave examples of the sound he thinks we should go for.

on the producing side tash will be up for it.

also there is such things as instrumentals and soundclick.

[Kosovic]

Well there are two ways to make a mixtape (practically there are many, but the two basic are these).

The whoo kid way: Wait for the MC to do everything, sit your ass down and load your self with tons of patience. Master your blowdart skills, do telephone sex and play GTA San Andreas ad infinitum until that moment when you have everything accumulated. And then you work on it.

The alchemist way: Produce a handful of instrumentals (or have them bought/leased/borrowed/whatever) and ask specific people to work on specific instrumentals, within a limited time. When they finish on time, you keep their work on, when they dont, you just keep what you have. You mix it and you present it.

Thats my problem. Your problem would be to gather up and agree to do whatever you want to do. Frankly, Bloodline was 40 minutes, and i dont see the reason to make it longer, since this represented TR just fine. So it wont be a hard thing to happen.

[,-,'-{Bar}-',-,]

^ second way is better imo


and yeh bloodline had loads of track that were basic one verse by 2 artists back to back and it worked so i see no reason in having everything full tracks and shit. also mostly all official instrumentals used on bloodline i dont see why we needa change that either ya know, same formula, with the concept through-out the tape with the skits, i think the last one was kingdom of heaven ?


also yeh maybe some tr producers on there but again instrumentals and soundclick beats are just as good, no need making it more complicated

[Kosovic]

Well, that is the point of a mixtape. We can do that. Say, if we wanna make a so called "freestyle" we use a mainstream beat, if we want something....

..eh forget it. We keep it Bloodline 1 styled then. However i am feeling the need to NOT use new beats (i mean before 2004 beats). I believe it will give different style than the current.

We will see, we will see. For starters....where are the rappers?

i agree using too many new mainstream beats would sound a little cheesy so yeh older beats is better

rappers wise


Bar
Delinquent
Kez
Sajjad
Restleswone
Speech
Big Ax-D



all said in the thread theyd do something. (sorry if i missed anyone i just skimmed through) killa said to me he would try do something for it

also other people that might do something.

Vettori
Mc Maybe
Hayzi
ASP
J-Blind
C-Riz
Pik Pocket
Tornado
RandomGhost
K-Block
Steve Spagg



so i mena you got definite, and alot of people that might if we asked for a verse

[Kosovic]

Hmmm, forget RS, he is getting a contract now, he wont do it.

Bar, Delin i need to know how clean your sound can be.
Kez....i dont know. I will ask me for something, but he had to have very clean quality, which he usually dont.
Sajjad, Speech i already know, as long as they work fast, it shall be good.
Yeah ok, i know Big Ax is already proffessional.

Now the rest, i dont think i really know them. I mean, ok Hayzi i know him just fine, he dont seem to be around anymore. Vettori is trying to get contract too, so i dont know. Maybe is a choice, and he was in the first tape. ASP really could give half a fuck less about rapping for our tape (plus if i ask for near-studio quality he will laugh behind his PC screen). As for Blind, i sent him a beat, he said he didnt like it. The rest still need a long way to be featured in a tape. Maybe if we all had the best quality, it would be easier to have even 20 people on it. But now, we have to be strict. We will see. Do you have any samples of all these people, one song, one record something?

[Restlesswon]

Hmmm, forget RS, he is getting a contract now, he wont do it.

Its more I wouldent have time than anything else, workin on album and mixtapes but i'll be availible for something still if this gets moving

[,-,'-{Bar}-',-,]

http://www.myspace.com/barthewar < my latest song is on there, i dont think i got any raw pellas on my com ill check and if i do ill send ya it so you can hear the raw sound.


i cant speak for the rest but DQ always sounds good on track quality wise, kez just got a new mic and his quality has improved shit loads from his old mic.



and yeh your right bout asp and what not, thought id just put there names there lol

as for the other if they see there name mentioned and wanne be on it they can send you examples

[DelinQuent]

as i said before, someone send me some beats and i'll throw some verses down and send them back as soon as i can.

[Kosovic]

You are in. DQ is in if you vouch for him, Kez, we will see. Big Ax if he wants he is in. And we see in the near future about the rest.

One thing last. Who will mix the songs? Even if they are solos.

i dont think anyone should mix there own tracks even if they are solo's coz itll alter the quality since not one person mixes the same as the other so you could have one really dry mixed solo, the next really wet, it could make it sound less professional, and even though it aint pro you want it sounding the best it can.

If you want me on it i'm up for it

I'm sure you can do somethin with my quality to make it sound alright; all those times you mentioned your advanced equipment

In regards to who mixes it, shouldn't it be Kosovic? So he can make every acapella sound the same or at least similiar?
