NEW STEVE SPAG - Headache

Postby Steve Spag » Dec 7th, '11, 16:38

Alright, before ya'll go nuts about the mixing/mastering, just letting you know this is my first track I've ever mixed/mastered on my own, I'm new at this process but I'm learning day by day, so with that said, I'd like to show ya'll my new track!

Lyrics;
bitch you give me a headache, a headache
but when you come into my room the bed shakes
it's not a wednesday, it's a wet day
and every time you come around it still gets me
you give me a headache, a headache

i don't know what else to say
this is not entertainin', what you got is not for spag
i just wanted to shag, you just wanted to nag
simplistic rhymes just for you so you do not miss a thing
i thought that you woulda changed, i thought it oughta be great
i put my heart on my shirt but then you just ripped off the sleeves
you're a mystery, but i ain't sherlock holmes
i'm gonna get a new girl while you're at home
and yeah i'm in a new world gal, turn back? no
there's plenty more bitties out there, pure and grown
you're immature and you know it, i think that at least
and if you don't agree with me you then you should visit a shrink
your first appointment is free

stupid bitches always talking shit
can't get away from it
no matter where i turn
another bitch another problem

bitch you give me a headache, a headache
but when you come into my room the bed shakes
it's not a wednesday, it's a wet day
and every time you come around it still gets me
you give me a headache, a headache

this is not the life for me
yeah you got a smokin' body but you're ugly in speech
it's kind of funny to me, i tried to show you the light
i should've known better though, you never open your eyes
and you've got a closed mind, no imagination
so i've had it with this fake shit, it's no exaggeration
i'd rather go masturbate than be in contact with you
so stop with your chattering it's obnoxiously rude
girl i watch what you do, every move that you make
the way you screw up in everything, you're a fool, run away
i don't use you for fame, i'm just fuming with rage
i'm a human being after all but you're something strange
there's no cure for your brain

there's something seriously wrong inside of it
and it's not my assignment to find out what it is anymore
go find another man that cares
'cause i don't give a shit no more

bitch you give me a headache, a headache
but when you come into my room the bed shakes
it's not a wednesday, it's a wet day
and every time you come around it still gets me
you give me a headache, a headache

This is a funny track, and I love the intro lmao.

I'm not gonna bitch about the mixing, I have the same problems as you but recently I started to understand it a little bit more (Thanks to some members here, Solace this one's for you my dawg! lol)

First, the chorus has the same effects as the verses right? Or at least it looks really similar. Well, that has to change :y: You should put less effects on your verses than on your hook so we know when the verse begins and when the hook ends.

Which software do you use?

Flow was alright, delivery was really cool too. I like your voice. The lyrics were funny, the rhymes were nothing impressing but you said why:

Anyway, this is a good track. Keep dropping dude. :y:

Thanks for the feed man, much appreciated. I totally get what you're saying with the hook, it's been a minute since I've been behind the boards, some things slipped my mind. I'm currently using Pro Tools 8 LE and LOVING it!

wasnt feeling this too much, the chorus kind of annoyed me.
the topic matter didnt really interest me, beat choice is ok but im not
one for gansta type laid back beats so that might be just me.

in mixing i know you just started, i have too, it sounds like you overlayed your whole verse.
i dont know if its the quality or volume but your a regular audio man so i probably dont need
to say this but... overlay just the parts you want to emphasize that way the verses dont
blend in with the hook like Trimss is saying.

apart from that i remember great tracks from you so i know you can do better, work on the mixing
and that will make it more listenable, because apart from that you know what your doing

lol pretty funny track

i think this would of been a better song if it wasn't for the mixing. all the song ran together as far as mixing. you really need to read up on compression and EQing. it'll help your game. can't really find anything to critique as far as songs go other then the mixing so i'll leave it at this would of been pretty enjoyable if it wasn't for the poor mixing. lol

Yeah you can tell this was meant to be a funny track, and was a cool one at that. Few things I didn't like though, a few lines and the chorus. "i'd rather go masturbate than be in contact with you", "i'm a human being after all but you're something strange, there's no cure for your brain" I found these lines to be overboard. Wasn't feeling them at all, when I first heard them, I was like c'mon Spag, I've heard much better rhymes from you. Even for a funny track the lyrics are too basic imo. Should of switched it up a bit, I mean comedy rap is easy to kill with punches and shit like that, so I was surprised why you didn't kill it. But it's a cool track man, it's not great, it's not shit either, it's alright but could of been better. The hook however though, I'm sorry but it was mad annoying...

-Didn't like the chorus at all.

-I think all the layering on your voice makes some of the words a little hard to hear.

Otherwise it was an enjoyable track. :y:

I'll analyze this from a technical aspect I guess.

Yeah, it sounded a bit too mono for me...
The song didn't really have a real direction at all and it was a bit bland.
Other than that, it was banging, you flowed really well and you had some funny lyrics embedded in there.

Dabs.

Thanks for the constructive feed guys, keep in mind this is just a promotional track and one's for the upcoming album are going to be professionally mastered! I love how everyone has a different view on the song, this one is spreading along nicely on my end, thanks for the support guys!

LMAO at your voice in the intro, I almost shit my pants hahaha

the mixing is terrible man, are you mixing on a desk or straight on Pro Tools??? cuz I dont really recomend you using the Pro Tools 9 effects like this, it doesn't really help, and you have wayyy to much reverb man.

I loved the hook, very catchy, but yeah the mixing don't help man, it makes somethign enjoyable sound bad....

the song itself is FUCKING GREAT, man, the beat goes well with your flow, but you are too loud on it.

this is one that you should fix cuz its actually good, reminds me of Obie Trice's "Got Some Teeth" for some reason...

good job man :y:

Thanks for the in-depth feed Ax, mucho appreciated! I'm mixing it on my Macbook with Pro Tools 8 LE, so I don't have all the extra stuff that the latest version has. Like I said, I'm still new to this so I wasn't expecting it to be THAT great but yeah I'm trying to learn :p lol. I like the comparison to "Got Some Teeth" good looking out bro!
