Before We Depart-Original Song & Music Video: 14 Year Old Rapper & Singer

[g2gaderade]

that was good man keep it up

[Ghosty501]

The lyrics are catchy and the beat is amazing. . .i love the chorus!!! Its amazing for an original song : )

[Sivatsi]

Mi suggestion to you is to take an independent path without labelling and naming.

In the past 'Cabaret' was the place where an artist would choose different languages for the words of his song that would describe an international story. And he or she was singing - talking with an heavy pronunciation but understandable for many different listeners.

You are so grate, such an amazing text.

[Sivatsi]

@Sivatsi I would not worry about the hip hop look or the buck dirty street imago.

There is need in this world for"positive communication", "positive human interaction". Exchange! Give it a shot to interact with people that are interested in macing life good and our natural home a safe and better place. Offer your grate talent to "SPEAK OUT" the problems but most of all THE SOLUTIONS!!!

Love and Light to you , Tania.

[thairpee]

NICE FLOW.

[brandweer14]

Good. But don't swing ur hands like that. Really annoying actually.

[naicella]

Hey dudes I appreciate your music its amazing these days that so many people have the opportunity to make music. GJ on the lyrics keep it up. Ditch the hand movements and keep it positive.

[DeShanzo]

The intro was good and I liked it. Good voice do not focus on vocals too much, I found the hand movements a little bit ridiculous but I don't think you guys should focus too much on filming either. Its sweet that you guys did this all by yourselves at 14 so I found it very impressive. I liked the song and showed to my 14 year old son and he liked it, and then I downloaded it. Nice job keep it up and you'll get somewhere one day. - SÓzØ prd.

[Kiba686]

this is sooo great i liked faved and subed and downloaded

[scoutbailey4498]

Good song the singing is a little off but it is a really good song with more practice you will be on the top

[crazyross2010]

Good lyrics and rap but the singing's a bit off. And stop flinging your arms about, we evolved years ago :)

[TheAdventureQ7]

You guys are absolutely talented and will only get better with time. Keep doing your thing. And I hope u don't even think about or acknowledge the negative crap some people comment on here. Bitter hearts have bitter words.

[MsChristy20091]

u guys are really good!!! i love ur videos and u have great voices also!!! :-) and u guys are hott also!!!

[malcolmb77]

Just keep working hard and you will be at the top in no time.

[SilentInsanityBand]

Hey guys, its agood song. Honestly. This is an old page of mine, im ur age and in a band now. I would suggest just trying to get the words to match the video...it seems off. But its good. My other band is kinda like urs. Hit us up if you wanna talk more band wise:D

[summerboy911]

whats with all the damn hand signs are you singing or trying to help land a damn plane?

[SimplyFlowin101]

check my shit out, im 14 as well. rap tips wanted:)

[phillyeaglesfan4lif3]

not bad, i say just add some similes and metaphors. its hard as hell to come up with your own, and have em be good. trust me i know. im 15 too, and rap a little.

[ScreaminMimi511]

The choreography and singing could use some work. The rapping and lyrics r good though. Get some lessons and u guys can go far.

[juliancammoreno]

you re not black enough. sorry

[DarkMagicianGirl181]

@juliancammoreno They don't have to be black, and not all blacks are good at rapping. White people can rap just as good as black people if they try hard enough, idk like Eminem for instants.

[2hot4soup]

Its good lyrics but man... U gotta get closer to the camera and dont throw ur arms around and shit. I mak raps i dont post em on youtube tho and well one thing u hav to kno is tht, dont over commit and try to be gangsta. The crowd doesnt lik it... Usually. So alittle work and i might hear ur album in some years yo.------------ keep bringin it to em mo fo

[PublicAwkwardness]

wtf.... id actually rather listen to rebecca black ... ya exactly

[chezzyms]

The first guy in blue hoody is ok but the vid isn't good and neither of you can be pro

[pj139q]

OK....YOU guys are better than 97% of the people who are on here talking like there all that..until you click on their vid and its crap!!!! lol that and your 15....if you guys keep it up another 5 years you'll be unstoppable!!!!!!!! all that and the subject bases of alotta this song totally hit me..it takes me back to the internal eternity of 15. and the fact we used to sit in basements as runnawayz made it even more personal to me :) thanxs for the words and the beats.

[l0lism]

Can't sing.

[pj139q]

@l0lism I'm sorryy to hear that but practice and maybe one day you'll be as good as these kids.

[dboss1194]

sorry, but u have no talent

[linemaniac231]

Cool, but the actual video seemed to not have a theme to it... it was just you guys standing there singing. Try to add a feel to future music videos,

[MrJoeGemma]

uhhhh nahhh

[ixdbowi]

Respect!

[ab5Lts]

Totally agree that all the hand movements needa stop! buuuut, for fifteen year olds it was cool! i play guitar and sing myself, so i get some if this :) on like the chorus part, dont try hitting such a high not when you say "before we depart". other than that ya'll are waaaaay good, keep it up! ((:

[TheSexySycho]

i like the song a lot, and i'm a metalhead so your work is good.. but the white kid has to stop moving his hands.... he looks ridiculous!!!

[YKCist]

Wow. Keep it up, y'all r great!!! Hey, sooner or latah, I'll be puttin som rap-vids on my channel, tell me' if I'm any good. I'm tryin 2 get a record-deal, y'all should 2...

[360Strategy]

U guys from the WA?

[NatsukitheHunter]

ye guys r great i'd like to have a song with ye if i am an artist. great verses it really hit the spot.

[TheRealroland]

Asian guy you are actually a pretty good rapper in the making, but you should dance a bit less but that's okay! :) the singer should get some lessons after that this will be really great!

[TheAreo1]

I think U guys r hot!!! <3 Do U have facebook?

[123zoenbob]

Dude keep doing it if you enjoy it. We need more young people in the music industry....white guy needs to lower his voice though

[Burnz2much]

You guys move around all weird 'n shit.. lol

[beth1234m]

Pretty good :)

[RlCESTER]

nice, the rapping was the best part. Don't give up, you might make it big

[MichFromHell]

you guys suck dick.

[Kanekage]

I liked it from the very start but, coz there's a "but" : you two sucks at singing. Honestly, the rap parts are okay, but the more melodious parts like the refrain are just screwed. I think your voices are simply too young and need to take more bottle to sing it.

Anyway, it's already almost nice. Keep on the work guys :)

[DissemRecords]

wat do yall use to make d beats?

[legendaryicecream]

@DissemRecords adam the singer makes our beats :)

[DissemRecords]

@legendaryicecream ooo alrighthy then lol well chekout my stuff ima be putting new things up tomoro i think but chekout our stuff out

[THEmirandalynn11]

The Video didnt impress me... The song was good though, If you guys are coming up with this now, I cant wait to see what yall got when yall are older! Keep up the good work! :D

[TheTalentClan]

I like the kinda asian guy? Idk what he is but hes good. The white guy on the other hand is good, but I don't think they should be in the same song because I like rap but hate whatever type of music the white guy was singing. You guys should make to seperate chanels and help eachother with the song or whatever but don't mix yo voices k? A lot of ppl im sure would like you both, just not together. My opinion, if you don't wanna listen, that's your choice. Just trying to help! :)

[rapbattlefan]

I LOVE THE HOOK

The rest of the song kinda sucks

The beat is ok....

[Co11iSi0nCoUrS3]

Anybody grouP can raP, bring the intensity and SCREAM

[drewybabe]

You two fellas do all this yourself's?

[DavidKilledMolina]

Amazing . But how do you guys make the music?

[FowlDadyPoppz]

Get rid of the annoying rings in songs nobody likes that when its loud. And dont try to act so gangster rap is still rap with acting hard but really good cept that

[Ze1337]

Very nice! This deserves a lot more views and thumbs up.

[returnomen]

AND THE WHITE KID SHOULD TAKE SINGING LESSONS OR JUST RAP TOO AND PUT THE SINGING AS A BACKDROP OR SOMTHING...

[returnomen]

SPEED UP THE FLOW AND WORK ON YOUR BEATS!!! BUT ITS PRETTY GOOD FOR TWO KIDS

[ColtenWearsPrada]

Are you a downie? If not then keep your hands in your damn pockets.

[mugilandag]

Dude, what the fuck is your problem now ....?

[CasualGamer2141]

make your rap faster, and that electric guitar sythesiser sound is a bit annoying particiculaly on its own haha but otherwise not to bad :)

pretty good potential

[mickywebman]

Yeh it's good, keep on

[SemperFi1324]

Overall good job. Edit the vocals a bit and calm down with the hands. Also rap a real message or your not really going to go anywhere. Although I must say, you two have talent. Dont let it go to waste and I look forward to hearing more from you guys in the future.

[ramicasm879]

THIS SONG IS DA SHIT MAN!!! GREAT!!! ;)

[TheRocio15]

overal it wasnt terrible. you guys should work on getting rid of hand movements and the vocals. but i have to say the song was pretty goo and i can see that you guys tryed to put some thought into it.

[dlickXmyXfick]

I like the nod to Linkin Park, but your vocals just don't really fit man. I like the rap though. Either find a new vocalist and learn to play an instrument or change your style up to fit the vocals better. Also, the beat is cold, the delivery of the rap is decent, but you're not really saying anything but blah blah bullshit. Put a real message in or all you're going to get is "look at these kids trying to be cool"

[dlickXmyXfick]

[SpanishFrenchman]

meh

[acsdss2]

I actually really liked it, the rapping was really good but the vocals not so much. My advice is synthesize them, it's what everyone in Hollywood does for shitty voices and I think it would help a lot. Also calm down with the hand gestures haha at times it looked more like flailing than anything. Other than that it was really good and I'll def subscribe

[MrPotogi808]

wats up with all the hand motions lol?

[coifgx]

get a new vocalist.

[MurryFolt]

The music is good, but there are some parts where the voices good be louder and better balanced. The lipsyncing needs some work. The amount of lipsyincing versus the amount of motions that are being done is off. Either do less motions or have better and more passionate lipsyncing. It's just the video part that needs lots of improvement. Sound quality wise, you guys are doing good!

Hopefully some constructive criticism helped.

[v3showah]

BRO WEAR SOME JEANS

[dandohc]

I don't like rap,I don't like hip-hop,I don't like your song, BUT, I like your passion, so I'll support you. Don't forget your roots! ROMAHARDCORE

[legendaryicecream]

@dandohc haha thanks!

[Sivatsi]

@dandohc I am with you... but this song I do like for a change.

Love from Greece

[oneRedge91]

Keep it up!!!!

[MarcusHaypi]

You guys are pretty good :-) Keep it up!!

[TheChilo48]

@legendaryicegream your really good

dont give up you can earn a lot of money if you get better

i like you and your music!

[jfresh2006]

verse is good, beats sick, but the singing from the blondue should have had been produced better imo it would of made it sound sicker, or if u put some bass on his part would of sound liike linkin park

[LinkinParker777]

nice music, but the video is very bad...

Don't film u all the time.

But i think the music is more important so i 'll sub u ;)

[death9833]

You guys are good but you need a heavier beat and deeper voices. other than that it is pretty good. Rap is a gamble but I think sucess will come in time.

[iheartericsuper]

it was great, really good!!!!

[OrbiterMJR]

Hey dudes, to tell you the truth I thought it was pretty decent. The thing you guys have to work on is footage. What is the biggest city you guys live near? Try to catch some city life from the cams POV. Creativity is a must for an awesome video. Also, try to find a balance with your rapping style whether you are slow flow or fast. Always experiment with different possibilities. I just want to point this out too. Not trying to make fun of you guys, but you need some fresh clothes.

[10dman10]

Really good song, but maybe next time just leave it as a song and dont shoot a video. But well done

[Band388home]

I love the rap, man !!

[thebreedt3]

YO some tips:

- Get a heavier beat on this (it would be a truly sick tune with a decent drumline)

- try not to stretch your words so much when your rapping it sounds bad unless your planning to put a multi or an off tempo line in there

- hand movements are a bit much eh?

- open up your chest when your rapping and it helps with your breathing letting you fit more words into each line and lets you emphasize your words more

Other than that very impressive... Well done.

[4curb]

Not too bad, Lyrics are good, Beats good aswell. Maybe in a few years you guys will be awesome when your voices are deeper. It just dosnt sound as it should but that will all come in time. Better than i imagined tho you could get far in the future.

[Wilmott1992]

Im from England, and seriously i really think you guys are awsome. But just bit of help, maybe not film yourselfs as much as its a bit crindgy to see you lot rapping and sining 24/7 maybe take some shots relevent to you, and some shots of you. just bit of help! but the song is actually really awsome guys. Where do you get your beats from?!!?

[legendaryicecream]

@Wilmott1992 we make em. :)

[sassytiff08]

I really enjoyed it. At first I was unsure of the lyrics but they quickly grew on me. I loved your voices from the beginning. No doubt about it you all have talent.

[TheSunsetWolf]

U guys r good!

[Nitonet95]

Your hand movement in this video is Mike Shinoda style.. Very cool, but maybe a bit too much.

Ahhhh this song is so great! Video is also good!!!!

[BBGwizeMusic]

If you guys can do this shit at 14, I can't wait to see what ya'll come up with at 16... and 18... and 20! Keep it up fellas! =D

-BB

[noelkabe]

this is so kick ass hey, jun whos that other dude yur singin wit?

[SoMorganHoward]

its pretty good. just keep practicing.. and learn to dance aha. (:

[pdrothegreat]

its pretty good work a li more on yourflow to get even better and yeah like everybody saying to much hand movement

[seagulsland]

Lyrics are good, reminds me of the old eminem... singing cud use improving not that im any better but...

[sheeeeshyall]

awww i miss that blondie ):

YEAH GEEEZ you move to much haha

[linkinparkMikeShinod]

I liked the first verse and chorus is ok, but the other dude sounds wrong

[linkinparkpilot]

it's good, holds potential

although my opinion is its a little downbeat, as amature rappers your not bad, but for me, it'd be better upbeat a little; ie a bit faster, its quite a long song.

As a long time linkin park fan, I prefer some of their old school songs, more rap metal, including more heavy guitar and drums, if that's the effect your going for, however here i think your a slightly different genre.

All in all, it'd be very difficult to produce songs with as much depth as fort minor....

[linkinparkpilot]

@linkinparkpilot as Mike is singing about his life, his experiences that the band went through trying to make a name for themselves, creating the genre, the producers telling him that he should just play keyboard instead of rapping, and just be another rock/metal band, and about the arguements and struggles they went through to produce the songs, then the producers trying to take the credit for the songs which the band wrote.

[linkinparkpilot]

@linkinparkpilot

so basically, it;d be hard to produce songs with as much depth, but you're making a terriffic start.

However, i think if you went into the older style of linkin park, with more metal, you'd awaken an audience which have lost their musicians.

[The8blade]

Not bad at all... Lacking a bit production and mix wise but a sterling effort. What daw are you using?

[legendaryicecream]

@The8blade daw?

[The8blade]

@legendaryicecream digital audio workstation. basically what software are you using?

[legendaryicecream]

@The8blade o, mixcraft 4.5 :)

[militaryexitment]

@legendaryicecream

i am not a rap fan at all period but this is a good video

[BobBarker532626]

That was pretty good. But im not sure if i like the chorus that much, the lyrics are good but i think the music in the chorus has too much of an electronic sound. But overall this song was really good.

[justjoshenaround]

I really like the rapping, I can hear how fort minor and LP have influenced you. The singing I feel could be a bit stronger, maybe try the kind of style chester uses when singing Crawling, it makes his voice have a bit of an edge to it but keeping original. Really like what I'm hearing and keep up the good work.

[DrKovorkian2012]

Second, the singing reminds me of Bieber...either deepen your voice or get a girl to sing it. That shit would be tight. Third, Don't try to be like every other rap group out there. Get an identity and hold on to it, don't wear what everyone wears or do what works for other rappers and hope it works for you. Other than that keep up the good work and write some more songs!

[MegaQuackhead]

@DrKovorkian2012 i totally agree and yeah u guys move way to much 

[DrKovorkian2012]

I was expecting this to be shit but the rap is actually pretty good. Few tips though. First don't move around so much, you like your'e trying to act cool and tough, no offense but it looks kinda cheesy. There's too much arm movement. A few arm moves are cool but you're overdoing it a bit too much, bring it down a notch. All the movement makes you look like you're trying to be like every mainstream artist out there.

[Dragas112]

Hmm well I was rlly hoping for some crap, but not that bad, sure need more polishing and work but u might become a good bad over time, lookin foward to see ur progress, keep it up. Peace

[DJMoonX3]

this is great.

[iwishihadpudding]
