Well, here is an idea I am toying with. How about we release a mix-tape on the back of Nairaland. It will comprise strictly of people from Nairaland i.e people who have made beats and those who have submitted their vocals etc. There won't be any outsider.

Say for example, someone like Genuflect, Krayola will qualify, while a few of us who have actually submitted beats will qualify too.

I know there will be a few hurdles like communication, differences in idea etc. but that will make it fun and all a part of the learning experience.

So who is down? Remember, you only qualify on certain criterias and no outsiders. Ideas and all sort of crazy ideas welcome.


PS
Please do not post if you have nothing about the actual thread to say. Thank you.

its wud be a nice idea man. . .

we that cant rap, can we ghostwrite?


#Javalove. . .unless otherwise stated. . .!

Aint no Ghost writing. You will be fully credited IF your material is used. I am of the belief that credit should be given where credit is due.

In fact, I like your idea. Yes writers from Nairaland are included. Well done Java.

Ok then. . I will post the lyrics of one of the poems i wrote. Its called HEAL ME. . . Hoping som1 can spit it over nice beats. .

Its not party rap ooo, its conscious rap. .

Heal me talks about Nigeria being sick. . and she keeps asking on the chorus. ."Who will Heal Me. . .?"





#Javalove. . .unless otherwise stated. . .!

It may be worth holding up yet. Let us see how many people are interested and we can then take things from there? Just a thought. But if you really want to post it. Please feel free.

ok then. .i think I should hold on on it. . .

maybe you create an email we all send lyrics too (just as eldee does for warcraft), say NLMixtape@yahoo.com, just a suggestion. . .



#Javalove. . .unless otherwise stated. . .!

Yeah it is a good idea. Just let see how many people are interested.

Av got to be part of this lol . . .


Watchout for my sturvs on ya beats mahn lol. . . . ah

can I drop beats?

Well anyone who is on nairaland is welcome [and they post regularly]. There are enough talents here in my opinion to make something worthy of a mix tape.

milkan05:

Well yeah, but you may have to post a couple of beats for people to hear.

If this becomes a paddy paddy project then the RCC will set up an alternative thread to denounce this mixtape.

Prediction: The NL celebrity,  javalove will become an overnight  R& B sensation with his debut release single 'heal me' . . . . . performed by Ofoka 

( *please somebody save us*)

There is no paddy paddy here. It will be strictly for those of us who post here mostly. If people vote to have someone removed or what not. Then it shall be so.

I'm in!! 

I think it's going to be hard to coordinate tho. Some people have to pay for studio time and all that, and it may just be complicated getting audio files sent all over the place and still ending up with a final product that sounds decent. But I still think it's a great idea regardless. I wish I had Nigerians around me to work with. I'm stuck with my Canadian and Akata friends and they don't understand 95% of what I'm saying, and since I refuse to do that yankee stuff I pretty much have to come up with all my material myself. Working with people makes things better IMO. Just more ideas to incorporate into your stuff, and different styles etc. Nice one, Elrazur.

I have an idea for the title.

This man wan win grammy off shout outs!! Original hustler

@krayola

You are right, coordination and communications are one of the hurdles that come to mind. I am thinkng if we get enough interest, perhpas one can tackle that via yim and other stuff. Also, if we need to transfer file between ourselves. We can easily host them on somewhere like those site people tend to use around here a lot.

As it stand, we need more people for the vocals.  If would be nice to have more people on board.

Dunno how long it takes to put a mix tape together in real life, but setting say a three month Target period will remove rush and let people know what is expected of them etc.

Whatever the case, I welcome all proper inputs.

Well it will be a track about 3mins the most or so.

Vocals - Krayola, Whizkid

Contributing writers - Java love

Back tracks: ElRazur

Can we have more people on board please. I.e Serious people.
