haha
this is peak andre/surf rap, agreed?
or you think some of your other ones were better
Dirty God-Today at 8:58 PM
i actually dont like the song 
the hook is badly done and i dont think the vocals are that great
i tried to re record again but it wasnt happening
party pooper-Today at 8:58 PM
interesting, i could see this having broad appeal
Dirty God-Today at 8:58 PM
i wanna give it one more shot
buth then its like
i need to move on to other shit
party pooper-Today at 8:59 PM
sure
Dirty God-Today at 8:59 PM

Dirty God-Today at 8:59 PM
except my voice teacher
party pooper-Today at 8:59 PM
yea it's not mixed great but that kinda works?
Dirty God-Today at 8:59 PM
ehh
im a perfectionist
party pooper-Today at 8:59 PM
haha
Dirty God-Today at 8:59 PM
i might try to re record this week
it just sounds sloppy to me
party pooper-Today at 9:00 PM
dirty hardest on himself
Dirty God-Today at 9:00 PM
but then its like, is me cleaning it up gonna make any difference in my music career?
bro everything i been putting out sounds professional and clean
like, the effort reads better
party pooper-Today at 9:00 PM
maybe the irony will be the shitty one blows up
that's life sometimes
Dirty God-Today at 9:01 PM
rt
rite
party pooper-Today at 9:01 PM
agreed
i dont think it will affect your career's trajectory one way or the other
if someone grills you over the quality just say listen to any other tracks
you just need to be making more
i can understand not wanting to release half baked ideas thogh
Dirty God-Today at 9:03 PM
its sort of a thing of
high quality material
i didnt take all these fucking mixing tutorials for nothing
its like
if u can make something better
why not?
idk im just highly perfectionistic
i need a manger or buddy to tell me to drop shit and moveo n
party pooper-Today at 9:05 PM
right it's about weighing opportunity costs. time bringing the B- track to A+ versus spending making an A+ track from the bottom up
Dirty God-Today at 9:06 PM
yeah
the beat also isnt that great
party pooper-Today at 9:06 PM
hahah
why did you release this shit man
Dirty God-Today at 9:06 PM
like its okay
but to make it an A+ i need better beat
party pooper-Today at 9:06 PM
was it a trap
Dirty God-Today at 9:06 PM
because its decent
everyone else told me to just drop it
party pooper-Today at 9:06 PM
like if someone says they like it, you know not to trust their opinion 
Dirty God-Today at 9:06 PM
i been sitting on it for a year
true
but i been asking people who tell me when my shit is wack
i think beyond all the techinical issues
the melody and hook is catchy
and it has a nice vibe
which outshines everything else
idk i might re record this week i will see
im bout to memorize a battle so i can shoot the vid next weekend
and move on to more tracks
party pooper-Today at 9:09 PM
shoot the vid?
you're recording your battle verse in a video?
Dirty God-Today at 9:10 PM
im gonna memorize and polish that last battle i sent u, and do a video
both to exhibit my battle bars, and to practice
cause lets be honest nobody gonna listen to that shit on soundcloud
and i wanna practice my body language etc
party pooper-Today at 9:13 PM
awesome
but it should really be one of those bad videos where the lyrics/words are represented by stock photos and badly drawn stick figures
Dirty God-Today at 9:15 PM
i was gonna do that
but i wanna show off my body language
and performance skills
ill do the lyric image videos for diss songs
party pooper-Today at 9:16 PM
bout to get flown out to canada and become reigning champion of kotd
Dirty God-Today at 9:16 PM
but i sort of want to show prospective people that wanna book me how engaging my body language is i guess
party pooper-Today at 9:16 PM
good points
Dirty God-Today at 9:16 PM
even tho ill prolly just look like a fool
and scrap the whole project
party pooper-Today at 9:16 PM
damn dirty
i didnt know you had these inner battles with your creative output
Dirty God-Today at 9:17 PM
well
at this point
i accept that shit will sometimes need to be scrapped or redone
that OUT track took a lot of hard work
had to keep rewriting, re-memorizing, and rehearsing
then i did like 3 diff recording sessions til i found a voice i liked
probably like 9-10 hours of recording total
its frustrating
but i ask myself
"What Would Drake Do?"
and my imaginary drake friend, would tell me to suck it up and nail it
party pooper-Today at 9:19 PM
haha
fair
if music is your life/passion, makes sense
Dirty God-Today at 9:19 PM
at this point i kinda decided i wanna be an entertainer
thats what i wanna do
i wanna perform for thousands
and be a superstar
so i gonna make a lot of changes and really get focused
*gotta
is kotd canada bassed?
party pooper-Today at 9:22 PM
maybe they do some regional US events but yeah it's from toronto
what's your process for forming a battle response
Dirty God-Today at 9:26 PM
hmmm
i collect random bars i have and put them in a document
build rhyme schemes around them
have them lead into other bars or punchlines if i can
and throughout my day think of bars that have to do with the opponents name
and mix them all in
its a pretty sloppy process
a lot of cutting out bars cause they dont fit
or they were cohesive with the piece as a whole
party pooper-Today at 9:28 PM
so what's harder, song writing or battle writing
Dirty God-Today at 9:34 PM
in terms of like
rhyme patterns, clever punchlines, etc
battle rapping of course
but when i think of songwriting i think of like
Rihanna
i was listening to that song Rude Boy
and that songwriting is amazing
I wanna be able to write songs like that
Pop Hits
Club Hits
Honestly man I have the deep fear in me
that I missed my chance to blow up
I cant dance like I used to, I'm going bald, my face is aging fast
my voice is getting older
and I'm not as creative anymore
I cant think of cool lines and stuff like I was a year ago
maybe its because I was constantly practicing with you guys online
but i dont have anyone i rap with anymore
so i never really practice my skills
and the only time i work on music, im working on old shit
so like, ive been concerened with my ability to compose new shit
cause i dont get into these highly creative manic states anymore
nor do i really exercise my creativity that much
but maybe its cause i need to progress and challenge myself creatively
and be around the right environment
instead of just alone in my room
like emotionally i feel dull ass well
idk
damn i wrote a lot, should have saved that for the blog
party pooper-Today at 9:38 PM
damn man, this is all news to me because it seems like you have a lot of output in the last half year
i mean "a lot" being relative
to when i first knew of you
Dirty God-Today at 9:39 PM
yeah i was on fire back then
but maybe cause i was excited, rapping every day with people, etc
a lot of my songs, i thought of in freestyle chat
while just messing around
party pooper-Today at 9:39 PM
that's cool, so you really do thrive from your surrounding envrionment
Dirty God-Today at 9:39 PM
yeah i guess
party pooper-Today at 9:40 PM
did anything come from that sesh with me and kale lol
Dirty God-Today at 9:40 PM
but hhd is dead for rapping now, no good rappers get on anymore
not yet
the producer hit me up and asked if i made it yet
and apparently he's also one of yeezys beatmakers
so i need to follow up
but i just cant think of shit like i used to
idk theres probably other moving pieces
i need to go more places and be around other creatives and get into the zone
maybe get sober cause i feel like i smoked myself retarded
but i never told anyone this shit
idk why im talking about it
party pooper-Today at 9:43 PM
hah smoked yourself retarded
it's chill dude. happy to listen
i know i am not here around enough to give timely responses
but i'll get back ya eventually
it seems like you've got many forces pulling and pushing
general depression too i guess?
anxiety as well
i think if you can linked to an inperson community, it would be really great for you
Dirty God-Today at 9:46 PM
i actually pretty emotionally stable lately, but yeah i have a shit ton of underlying stress and sadness i sort of self-medicate to avoid i guess
it all comes up when i get sober
and i just realized i might have an anxiety problem
idk i get a SHIT TON of anxiety about certain things
but i just deal with it i guess
like i do deep breathing and visualization in those situations
especially performing
my heart rate skyrockets when i think of imperfect performances i did
the doctor said my blood pressure is too high too
but idk, right now im just trying to maintain
taking music classes, leave the house daily,
stop playing video games
eventually i want to cut out the weed, but i dont think i can
but its my biggest set back
party pooper-Today at 9:48 PM
sounds like you've got a good action plan/are actually following through on it, good job man
Dirty God-Today at 9:48 PM
also just being 29 living with mom with no other family and no money is pretty shitty
thanks bro
i guess thats what the "Surf Rap" style really is
its inspired by that shoegaze/dreampop indie style
with bright colors, yet desaturated
A sort of "whatever" type of feel
like a "my life is terrible but what can you do but try to be happy?" sort of style
dark lines thrown in on very happy production
repetitive flows that seem to go on and on
