Jul 7, 2016 @Flacko @Snow @Trippy Skippy @YDB @Loyalty @Slyk @Feedback @CreativeSXN get in here and review this s---... Also Audiomack links for those who care about stats. Almost forgot, Genius lyrics here...
Jul 7, 2016 Track #1: "Nothing to Lose" Commentary: Fun fact, I originally had an album called "Everything to Gain" which had a track titled "Nothing to Lose" but I decided to scrap it and just use the track name for this track. Anyways, this track is supposed to reflect the try-hard and immortal nature of REDACTED. The lyrics are reflective of what I was feeling at the time, strong, powerful, able to overcome anything... and the beat... Well I wanted it to sound like a darker version of Drake's "No' Tellin", well in fact; the entire album sounds mostly like "No Tellin'" since that's my fav track off of IYRTITL with a few exceptions. Anyways, my life is that people see me as some sort of person who is manipulable and only sorely exist for comedic gain. I am not that person alright; all those people telling me to get naked and shave my head were from communities I am no longer a part off. I clearly leave them alone but they can't leave me alone for some reason; I have this sort of trigger finger and trigger me just right and I will do something... I don't know what I'll do but I will do something if you keep on f---ing with me. Anyways, this reflects the beginning of my mission to provide real hip-hop to the people. Also notice the constant beat switches throughout the album, there are tons of them as I wanted to increase my variety... Something which is working; people are noticing this even though they're telling me that I sound like a 30 year old man who has a family and wear Chef Curry's (Air Force 1's 4 life.). I guess @Narsh's criticism worked out.
Jul 13, 2016 I changed the album so I'm going to continue on with the commentary. Track #2: "Put On a Show" Commentary:I used to believe there were these group of people and I used to believe I was the center of their attention, I guess I was wrong but I did believe it when I recorded this track... I believe the beat is the most varied and well fits the style which is try to replicate IYRTITL as close as possible. I don't know if I like the beat now since @Cyreides mentioned that the beats are kind of empty but @Pato v2 likes this track and might write a freestyle for it so I don't know. Maybe some of it is good... All of the issues pertain to sites that I disowned because of my stupidity; I had a point back then but thinking back, I really don't know if I ever had a point at all... But it did lead to some very agressive lyrics; "shot in the heart" is a terrible, gay and stupid lyric and I never want to do something like that again. I should of thought about what I was going to say before I said it... But hey, anything to believe you're hard right? Anything to trick yourself you don't need those guys and anything to self-delude yourself into thinking you're the best right... right?
Jul 16, 2016 Track #3: "They Never Knew Me" Commentary:I had a change of mind, they probably knew me but decided to distance themselves away from me due to my sh-- behavior. In all honesty I don't know myself; I thought I did but I don't know... If you're expecting anything that doesn't involve speech impediments and enunciation problems than look elsewhere because this song is full of them; personal problems focusing on other people, also look elsewhere. This song reveals several aspects of my ego. 1. That I need people to care for me, 2. That I thought they literally didn't know me and 3. That my perception is wrong... I try to rap the best I can on this track and I tried my best with the beat but there's only like one or two elements with the beat so it feels really empty. You know what, listening to me talking about bs when I don't know what bs is just makes me feel like an idiot. Especially since I got roasted for cheap comedy recently. All this album is, is just me obsessing on past issues that don't make sense and nobody cares about, made my raps hard but is it futureproof? No... It's not. I should of included more about my personal self and less about my issues because nobody wants to hear those issues and nobody cares about those issues. They've all would of moved on already from the second they listened to the song. I really hoping my vaporap album saves it because I don't know what to do, I'm realizing that I have nothing to talk about and nothing to base my image on.
