Erik Boyd - Opinions (Prod. by New Millenium)[Remastered]

[siwooot]

i reckon you should record this over a different temp beat, the lyrics can flow i just think the drums are too slow on this track to fit the rhythm of the lyrics, but if you did it over a slightly faster beat it could flow right

[eboyd32]

@siwooot lol idk man, i'd probably have to rewrite it and everything too haha. idk if i'm even really feeling the concept anymore lol

[TheUnitedDivision]

wordup yo

[DeleteTheEIite]

Im sorry but your flow is wack son. So is your voice its very monotonous and boring. Lyrics a bit better but still average

2 stars

[eboyd32]

@DeleteTheEIite that's fine. this was actually my very first track i ever recorded so i have improved vastly since then. look up "The Agen-C Wargods" here on YT and click the first link and you will see the vast difference.

[eboyd32]

@DeleteTheEIite btw, Guru = dope + monotonous :D

[DeleteTheEIite]

Yeah there are many monotonous but dope mc's, especially from the west (where im guessing ur from)

check out a track called "For her Souly, Slowly, Solely" by H.I.M.N.L. i think its up on youtube, but has been misnamed with the title of his crew Darleaf insted of H.I.M.N.L.

his abstract poetry is untouchable, shame he gets such little props :(

[eboyd32]

@DeleteTheEIite thanks for the suggestion, and haha, yeah, i'm from Los Angeles. like i said though, check out "Wargods". it is WAAAAAY different and my shit isn't monotonous anymore. if you like it, i suggest you stay ready for my upcoming LP "Modus Operandi". i am releasing it under the moniker of Agent X.

[tnizzle53]

@DeleteTheElite

PLEASE do so. Wargods is pure... Crazyness. It's a vast improvement, as Boyd said.

[sodr2]

nice tune, whered you get the background music from?

[eboyd32]

you remember Trigger The Soldier? one of the guys that produced for him, this guy New Millenium, produced it for me. i gave him some samples from John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme" and he did his thing.

[sodr2]

daaamn, john coltrane? man thats one SICK producer!! i gotta check out some of his other stuff..

[eboyd32]

lol! Coltrane is a jazz GOD, not a producer! he was a sax player/composer. he died in the 60's.

[joshgibson]

[AceKat00o]

Im abit late on comenting but this is dope as shit! , Common would realy do this indeed

[eboyd32]

i don't think this style of poetry is his style. he's more slam poetry type. this is like written, abstract poetry, but rapped. lol!

[elidagod]

[lolomaris]

VERY GOOD HIP HOP.5*****

[eboyd32]

thanks. too bad you are one of the few. even "real" dudes nowadays are too wrapped up in swagger to realize good laid back music with deep lyrics.

[Makadocious88]

werd!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Makadocious88]

the one with trigg on the hook was dope but ure hook is better...good job

[eboyd32]

thanks man.

[siwooot]

how long did take to write?

[eboyd32]

the lyrics took me over a month to write. possibly even two months or more. i don't quite remeber exactly how long it was, but it was quite a while. i kept writing and revising it as that is truly what the writing process is about. it is meant to be a poem more so than song lyrics so i had to perfect it.

[siwooot]

i see. im trying to write this song of my own and i want it to be perfect as well thats why i asked, coz im taking my time with it and i was just wondering how long it usually takes to write a song. im also trying to figure out the structure etc.

[eboyd32]

ah. in that case, you need to know that there is a difference betweeen writing good song lyrics and poetry. are you trying to write a poem or song lyrics? there are a lot more dimensions in poetry than there are in song lyrics. with lyrics it is all about sitting down and listening to the beat you are writing to and hearing what the beat wants to be written to it. this type of writing doesn't take a lot of time, but it takes a whole lot of feeling...

[eboyd32]

poetry requires you to detach yourself from the music. you need to step away and let the poetry make a rhythm of it's own. as TS Eliot said (and i quoted it in my sig on the site) "good poetry communicates before it is understood." you may not understand a poem off the bat, but it will still tell you a story just by the very rhythm it gives off. you can create that by focusing on meter (which i'd be glad to explain in a PM) and the nature of the very words you use. there are many aspects to it.

[elbunker222]

Yo Erick this is dope man

Good lookin on this one

[n2cora]

the reason i asked is that, while listening to the flow, it seemed that you might have had had another type (or piece) of music in mind (at first)... i don't know.

either way it's a seasoned piece of work, doc.

[eboyd32]

nope. i think it's just the fact that i wrote it as a standalone poem and not a track, even though it is in 16 bars. i didn't have a beat in my head when i wrote the lyrics. i was trying to avoid that so it would work as both.

[n2cora]

cool! really cool! where did you get the music to this?

[siwooot]

awesome man. great beat too.

[AllanPUK9]

Congrats mate that's realy somethin, i was a bit blown away by the quality to be honest so maximum respect to ya
