DIAMOND STATUS... is this what you wanted?

Postby DelinQuent » Feb 23rd, '09, 05:52

for this track i decided to take it back to my very early stages of rap. when i first started rapping i used to rhyme as much as possible. i thought the more you rhymed, the better you were. however i no longer feel that way. i feel it takes far more skill to put together a complete song, regardless what the song be about, than it is to write bars. i honestly find writing bars like this to be far easier than what i normally do, but i'm doing this track to show you guys where i came from. so i dont want to hear anymore comments like "oh you rhyme too simple etc". yes, i rhyme simple. absolutely correct, but i do so because i CHOOSE TO.

now, this is "Diamond Status". diamond status is not about selling 10 million cds. diamond status is about being valuable. being a diamond in the rough. where i'm from , the Lehigh Valley, in Pennsylvania, it is know as a hot spot for underground rock. with diamond status i hope to unite local rappers to show that there is value in the other genres.

you will also here me rap completely differently on this track. especially the second verse. :y:

LYRICS:
Verse One:it's hitting time batter, up if it's the past it matters/
none, never catch me slump, i hit it out the park/
if these verses were a sport, watch as these words contort/
and yeah it's still ya boy, and im on the same thing/
pik you are lucky that we on the same team/
cause it's killin time again, kill em till i win/
and the skill will make em tear, catch em lookin in the rear/
view mirror i am here, fear for your career/
cause my time is near, so you can adhere/
or this can get severe, suggest you steer clear/
or ya'll can disappear, and watch me persevere/
ask my peers, ima open new frontiers/
ya'll saw it flat, but i saw it as a sphere/
before i tried to speed, i done checked my gears/
DQ is coming, call me Paul Revere/
check 2010, cause thats gon be my year/

Hook:Diamond status, ya boys boys back at it/
i'm off hiatus, no more nappin/
it's gon come rapid, time to take my stock/
push it to the top, i belong in that spot/

Verse Two:as a diamond in the rough, i came up rhymin tough/
elephant tusks, my skin's rhinoceros/
so dont you write me off, cause i will fight wit ya'll/
cause see i'm like a god, or a lightning rod/
i'm hungry like a dog, feel my biting bark/
i mean my bark is biting ya'll, rip you like a tiger shark/
ain't about right or wrong, it's about writin songs/
remember watchin television, sittin there just wishin/
finishin my dinner, now i'm fittin in a minute/
to hit it be the biggest, i mean i be a menace/
i mean i be a penner, cause im eatin like a winner/
cant defeat me i am better, no competin dont you get it?
just forget it yo dont sweat it, if i said it then i meant it/
what i meant, i represent it, ya'll can say it's corny/
i say it's inventive, you say that it's boring/
i take that as incentive, so im sayin stay attentive/

i used autotune on the intro and thats it. and how are these DQ lyrics? i stepped up the rhyming. normally i dont rhyme this much because frankly, i dont enjoy tracks like these.

man

your flow on this track is amazing, Its the best flowing I've heard from you man, shit, I loved it

how you do make autotune sound good on talkin??? lol, I'm havin trouble these days wid it hmm

the lyrics are superb, excelent work, but yeah it doesn't really fit your style, either way you should drop one of these every now and then, I liked the track a lot

also I saw a BIG improvement on quality, good spot on that man

great track, no dissapointment at all 10/10

thanks ax, the key to autotune while talking, well there is no key, trial and error lmfao.

sii, yes my rhyme scheme isnt really a scheme, it's kinda all over the place, i keep it tricky lmfao

thanks to anyone who listened, tho i would appreciate feedback seeing as you all complain of my lack of rhyming.

The beat is nice :y: You flow nicely over it too. I don't really like the sound of the chorus at all though. Also, a few of the lines in the 1st verse you rhymes weird, not word wise, but the way you emphasized certain words. Quality is great, you have very clear vocals but you seemed to fade out a bit at the end of the 2nd verse. The concept behind the song, to unite people with is is a great idea. I hope it works out well for you, since it would be great to unite some local rappers and have them work together, especially if you're also involved. Good luck with that :y:

I definitely realized the more rhymes you had on this one. I liked the flow & the lyrics, but the delivery was lazy IMO. You mumble allot of words, which shows that you got lazy and didn't bother to retake it. So your delivery still needs working, but your flow & lyrics is good. And I agree with Chris your voice sounds naturally auto-tuned at times. Didn't feel anything special about this track, but it wasn't awful or bad, it was good.
