DISCLAIMER: I'm not a rapper; I'm not even a singer. Also, any mispronunciation or misuse of grammar is purely intentional and meant to be in character, and totally did not happen because English is not my first language and I STILL DON'T KNOW MY WAY AROUND IT.

WARNING: this song contains ridiculous amounts of wankery.

------------------------------

EDIT: I'm truly flattered and humbled by everyone who's commented on this. You've all been too kind to me, and have made me realize a lot about... well, about several many things that would take a lot of space to explain here. I can't thank you enough for your support, and I'm truly sorry you had to see one of those episodes where my insecurities get the better of me. I'm not going to erase it though; I want it to be a reminder of what not to do next time. I'm very sorry I haven't taken the time to reply to all of your comments, I can't help feeling like I'm being ungratefull and spoiled. I'll make an effort to show my gratitude better from now on. For the time being, let it just be said that I'm honored that you've given my music a chance, and I'm forever grateful (I sure do love to use that phrase, don't I?) towards you. I love you all.

-----------------------------------

I'm convinced that this song is a huge mistake. I'll be honest, I'm not happy with it. I messed up the vocals, and it's just a total mess, both mix and composition wise. This is 6+ minutes of me trying to be everyone I admire in the community at the same time and failing real hard at it. In spite of everything, I'm releasing it anyway because I've invested too much time and effort in it to just shelve it, and besides, even if I knew how to improve on it I wouldn't be able to, because my computer can barely load the project file for this song, let alone play it well enough to know what's going on. Hell, I even had a lot of trouble exporting it, because most of the times I tried the computer told me it was out of memory, and just sat there. But I wanted 20+ instances of Massive in this thing, right?

I feel okay about this if I think of it as a learning experience, though. If you'd like to help me out with this by telling me what I did wrong, and how to make it right, or just about any other constructive criticism you can think of, I'll be deeply grateful.


Lastly, I'd just like to thank you guys for your amazing support. I honestly had no idea my music could make such an impact on people, and it makes me immensely happy to know that. I'm forever grateful towards you guys, you're the best. :)

I know I take forever to release things, and I'm sorry to say I'm about to start taking even longer. School just started again for me, and it's shaping up to be yet another crazy semester. On top of everything, the song I'm making right now is for the next charity album by Bronies for Good, so I won't be releasing new songs through here in a very long time. One thing's for sure, though. I'm not going to stop making music. Far from it, I'm barely starting out.

Lyrics, in case anyone's interested:

You should think yourself lucky if I even talk with you
Or think of taking your picture
'Cause I'm the pony with the power to make or break
My camera'll set the course of your future

I didn't imply anything when I said I liked your friend's hat
But I'll take a couple of shots of her designs in spite of that
So now I'm here in her boutique and you're wasting my time
My camera's aligned, so how's it gonna be, hmm?
I could break you with ease; I'm the fashion police!
Think you got what it takes to impress me?
Then show me what you've got, come on, show me what you've got
This is your chance to rise to the top of Canterlot

You know, you're lucky to be working with the queen of the scene
You're lucky that your destiny landed you with me
'Cause I'm the pony with the power to make or break
My shutter is the door to your dreams

Here comes my model, the star, looking wunderbar
I knew it at a glance, she'd be one to go far
Her kind of beauty's found every once in a blue moon
She makes ponies swoon as soon as she walks in the room
I said I'd help her to shine all over Equestria
Told her "I'll be the one to bring out the best in you"
But her performance in today's show suddenly turned tragic
Now I've got to find somepony else who has the magicks

[SoGreatandPowerful]

This is such a special song. The Photo Finish rap at 4:14 is unbelievable. The whole song builds up to that moment for me, and afterwards it's just majestic. Your vocals and lyrics are stellar, btw, and I really hope you keep making vocal songs.

[ButNotTonight]

@SoGreatandPowerful Thanks a lot! And oh, I so will. By the way, I was coincidentially listening to Sorceress Girl at the time I read this comment and was wondering, will you be making a song for the next charity album? 'Cause I though your contribution to the last one was spectacular.

[hurristat]

I love the Sir Mix a Lot reference.

[ButNotTonight]

@hurristat Oh my god, there's a Sir Mix A Lot reference in there? I didn't even notice! :D

[UltimaShadow7]

This has a really unique vibe to it, and the vocals are actually pretty good.

As Photo Finish would say, keep working DE MAGICKS!

[mkanke]

Just read the 'more info' my advice, DONT follow the others greats as your getting a very original vibe with this song especially in the DubStepy section. Keep exploring and make your own niche, not wiggle into somepony else's （゜ω゜）

[Ephrones]

This is GREAT. Don't say you think it sucked, although the voice could have been a little bit louder in the last verse this song totally ROCKS.

Keep up the good work, I daresay this song is on par with TheLivingTombstone, AcousticBrony and WoodenToaster!

[pangolinC]

Dude. DUDE. This is totally awesome ! Seriously, I smiled through the whole song, then found out there was a dubstep part by reading the comment, and god knows how much I just can't stand most of this genre. The vocals may not be perfect, and yet they fit perfectly... Kind of a weird feeling, but a good one. I'm glad you failed at trying to be someone else, cause I'm definitely getting a very original feel from this one, and I look forward to hearing more from you.

[librarychair]

I wish I could give this like five thumbs up

[lolhacksss]

"Genre: Magicks"

hell yes

[kaithe2]

SWAG

[ArthurRichardSole]

Dam it man you've created something awesome here, don't belittle it.

[kingman186]

Fucking love this song.

Just saying.
