WHAT DO NASHVILLANS THINK OF S.L.R.??

[TRAGIC LOSSES]

FIRST OFF,I TRY TO HELP PROMOTE ALL ARTISTS ON THIS SITE WHO I RECIEVE MATERIAL FROM.

I JUST WANTED TO LET THE PEOPLE IN THIS FORUM KNOW WHAT PEEPS AROUND MY WAY THINK OF THE MUSIC OF SLR AND MY OPINIONS ALSO.....

I HAVE THE FTS,IK,BYRDIE,AND SYKO ALBUMS.....I GOT THEM BACK IN EARLY DECEMBER....SINCE GETTING THEM,I HAVE LET MAYBE 15 PEOPLE BORROW THEM SO THAT SLR CAN BE HEARD AROUND HERE....ALSO,PEOPLE THAT DO MUSIC DOWN HERE I HAVE LET LISTEN TO THEM....

OK,NOW TO THE POINT......A LOT OF SHIT TALKIN HAS WENT DOWN BETWEEN D AND SYKO AND BD LATELY,SO I THOUGHT I WOULD LET THEM KNOW WHAT PEOPLE THOUGHT ABOUT THEIR ALBUMS...ALL WHO HEARD THEM LIKED THE CDS FOR THE MOST PART.....WHEN I ASKED THEIR HONEST OPINIONS,THEY DID HAVE SOME FEEDBACK YALL MIGHT WANNA HEAR....THEY ALL LOVED THE BEATS FROM D AND SYKO...THEY SAID THAT THE BEATS ARE TIGHT ENOUGH TO MAKE THEM BUY ANY PROJECTS EITHER PUT OUT IN THE FUTURE....THE THINGS THEY DIDN'T LIKE WERE THE RAPPERS ON THE CDS....BEFORE YALL JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS,MOST OF THE PEEPS THAT SAID THIS ARE KINDA LIKE ME(THEY LISTEN TO ALL FORMS OF RAP,NOT JUST DOWN SOUTH).THEY ALL AGREED THAT SYKO WAS A GOOD WRITER...AND BYRDIE ALSO....THE THING THAT BOTHERED THEM WAS THEY SAID NONE OF THE MCS HAS THE PRESENCE ON THE TRACKS TO GRAB THEIR ATTENTION(NO ONE STOOD OUT).....THEY CALED ALL OF THEM PLAIN AND ASKED ME IF THEY ALL HAD JUST STARTED RAPPING....THEY SAID THAT THE TRACKS AND PRODUCTION WAS WHAT WAS APPEALING ABOUT THE CDS TO THEM.....

NOW FOR MY 2 CENTS.....I KIND OF AGREE WITH THEM....TOO MANY PEOPLE RIDE NUTS ON HERE TO GIVE AN HONEST OPINION....I SHOOT STRAIGHT.....I THINK SYKO IS A TALENTED ARTIST WITH THE MOST POTENTIAL OF ALL THE MCS THAT ARE OR WERE ON THE LABEL.....TO ME THERE ARE A FEW THINGS A RAPPER MUST POSSES TO CATCH MY EAR AND MAKE ME A FAN...
1. WRITING SKILLS(SYKO AND BYRDIE AND SARKASTIK HAVE THIS LOCKED)THE OTHERS WERE TOO REPETITIVE....I SWEAR I HEARD BD AND THE OTHER FAST PACED RAPPER SAY OFF THE HEEZY FO SHEEZY ON AT LEAST 5 SONGS
2.IMAGE(SYKO,BYRD,SARKASTIK ALSO HAVE THIS)
3.VOCAL PRESENCE(HERE'S THE PROBLEM MOST THOUGHT)THE ONLY ONE THAT MOST THOUGHT POSSESSED THIS CHARACTERISTIC WAS THE OTHER FAST RAPPER BESIDES BD...HIS VOICE IS DIFFERENT AND STANDS OUT....I'M NOT DISSING ANYONE,THIS WAS SAID ABOUT ME BY THE SAME PERSON WHO SAID IT ABOUT SLR RAPPERS(THE GUY PRODUCED SOME TRACKS FOR BIZZY BONES FIRST SOLO,SO I TAKE HIS OPINION SERIOUSLY)HE WENT ON TO SAY THAT D SANE AND SYKO WERE TALENTED PRODUCERS,JUST THAT THE MCS WERE NOT ANYTHING THAT WOULD MAKE YOU WANNA GO OUT AND BUY AN ALBUM JUST TO HEAR THEM....HIS SHARPEST CRITISISM CAME WHEN HE TALKED OF BD AND BYRDIE.....HE SAID BD SHOULD SLOW HIS JUMBLED RAPS DOWN AND LEARN TO PRONUNCIATE WORDS CORRECTLY....AND THAT BYRD SHOULD NOT TRY TO PACK 5 EXTRA WORDS INTO EVERY BAR.....

HE DID AGREE WITH ME THAT SYKO IS CLOSEST TO BEING A COMPLETE ARTIST,BUT HE NEEDED POLISHING ON VOCAL PERFORMANCE...


I HOPE NONE OF YOU TAKE THIS AS ME DISSING YALL AT ALL,BECAUSE I'M NOT....I ENJOY ALL 4 ALBUMS THAT I HAVE....I THOUGHT YOU WOULD APPRECIATE A NON-BIASED OPINION FROM A MAN WHO HAS DONE WORK WITH MAJOR PROJECTS AND OTHER NORMAL RAP LISTENERS.......LONG LIVE SLR.....


SORRY TO MAKE SUCH A LONG ASS THREAD.....JUST WANTED TO PASS ALONG INFO THAT MIGHT BE USEFUL............TRAGIC

You know the sayin "you can please some of the people all the time and all the peolpe some of the time".That plays in effect here.I would have to disagree with you on the prescence.I personally think Byrdie,Syko and Kas all COMMAND your attention,especially Kas.He has an animated voice and draws you in.I do however agree with you on BD.He needs to spread them words out ans SLOW DOWN.I think Madd Dogg is the other "fast paced" rapper you are referin to.He definately grabs you by the earwax and dont let go.Byrdie has the talent and ability to do the mainstream thing RIGHT NOW.BUt thats just me,but i guarntee others would agree.

Its all gravy though,thank you for sharin your thoughts and your homeboys get luv too!

Very interesting. Either way.....thank you for taking the time to lay out an honest opinion.

The only thing I will say is that we are all still growing in this game......some more than others.....and some are going the wrong direction all together.

THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT I WAS SAYING....WITH ALL THE DRAMA OVER WHAT MADE SLR WHAT IT IS TODAY,I THOUGHT SOME OUTSIDE AND PROFESSIONAL OPINIONS MIGHT SHED SOME LIGHT.....

Yeah, thanks to the guy from Nashville. About "vocal presence," I think the rapper with the most vocal presence i've ever heard on SLR is Holiday. When he came into "Lyracide," it was like a big bang had just happened.
