Astat Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 a "rap superstar" why reads his lyrics from a paper at recording? anyway good episode, i hope they release a min 30min making of album film later... Well, we obviously know of one person in this thread who has zero experience recording vocals in a studio environment... Quote
Skipees Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Not all the rappers reads from paper, Lil' Wayne is a good example for one who doesn't. I'm not even sure if he writes his verses on paper or just made them up. (DEMO)'s question is a little exaggerated, but it comes from somewhere. Quote

I'm not even sure if he writes his verses on paper or just made them up. (DEMO)'s question is a little exaggerated, but it comes from somewhere. Yeah but I would match that verse from Rakim against Lil Wayne's whole discography. I hate that dude. That's my personal opinion though. Like someone else said he may have done revisions, or just finished writing. Or maybe he just had the paper for backup I mean why is it a big deal that he didn't want to possibly forget a line? It's not like that takes away from a rapper's credibility. He wasn't freestyling. Drake has been known to blatantly read from his phone on camera while rapping and call it a "freestyle", and he's arguably one of the biggest "rap superstars" out today.

wiiesel Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Instrumetal??? Thank you! I read instrumental LOL Quote
kiq fLP Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 At first I read instrumental too, but I think better: "something is missing right there" So, or is a clear fake or a brilliant idea by LP, who knows? lol Quote
BlackChester Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) just confirmed fake by adam https://twitter.com/heydudeimadam/status/449955557948936192 Edited March 29, 2014 by BlackChester Quote
shadowofthehabit92 Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 The "Instrumental" title is laughable. I really do hope there is a 7:20 long track on the album though. That would be pretty sick. Quote
Andros Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Haha, "demos" yes of course, we have a preview of the new LPU14, since we see some possible song titles, it was expected that some people will try to confuse us with this sort of thing. It's amazing how this guy makes comments about the "songs" like "New demos fucking Awesome dude !!!!" or "yes, instrumental called "Instrumetal"", why had to believe someone who made his twitter account today and coincidentally the first tweet was that image? It is absurd, not expect me that in a few days appear that "CD promo" in torrents or different pages to download with songs from other band haha. Quote
[AndOne] Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Too many songs end with x:20. I honestly think Instrumetal is a pretty badass name haha. The "Promotional Use Only" is the biggest dead giveaway for me that it's fake. It would be a watermarked disc guarded by a cop (not kidding, that happened for the ATS 6 track thing). I think these days they make sure the songs don't even leave the studio (happened with Burn It Down). Quote

Andros Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 well James McMahon, Editor in Chief for Kerrang! got some demos... who knows on which medium he heard them The bad part is that he gave no details of these "demos". Quote
[AndOne] Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Probably not allowed to talk about them (yet). Quote
BlackChester Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Probably not allowed to talk about them (yet).yup, that might be the reason Quote
hahninator Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 I'm sure an LP rep from Warner took the disc to Kerrang and let them hear it then left right after it. No way Kerrang just has a copy sitting around in their office. Quote

deanowardust Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 does anyone remember those cd's that had mp3s on them that you could only play the track like 3 times and then it was unreadable. i remember an oasis one that came free with a paper. why dont they just use that medium. yeah someone might rip it on the first try but a lot of media would listen to it once or twice and then leave it on the side and then if someone stole it it'd be unreadable Quote
SHOCKWAVE6464 Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 This sounds like a concept album a bit Quote
Tyleronlplive Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 This sounds like a concept album a bit Brad did say that it was conceptually driven, I'm just hoping it isn't too heavy on a story (like actually making characters in the album) and stays focused on a topic. Kind of like The Downward Spiral (which is coincidentally in your tag), it's about the destruction of a man, but almost every song can be held separately. Quote

This could be their best album if pulled off in the right direction. Quote

AParallelogramInTheSand Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I'm really hoping that the instrumental they'll likely have on this album will be titled "Instrumental" because that'd be too hilarious Quote
