I'm a really really tough music critic and I kind of dig this. I'm a huge fan of real hip-hop and I think you guys are off to a good start. The video wasn't bad. Simple narrative and not much to it but it wasn't terrible, except for the end which was a big let down. The beat was solid and had some subtle changes from verse to verse but could have used a little diversity. I think if you had some structure to the song it would help a lot, such as a chorus between versus. Overall good stuff bro, best of luck.

sadly.. no speakers where i am... but i'm a fan of metal and hardcore electro... we'll see if i like this....

[bluepillow]

I like it.

[Red coupe]

Really not bad man, definitely good enough to download the free album from the link

I'll throw it on my ipod and give it a listen when I get the chance.


Probably second best "Hey look I am a musician" post I have come across on the inter-webs

[Jesda]

I enjoyed tracks 1, 5, 9, 10, 12

"Arranged & Produced by Acey Ace of HighGuyz Productions "

Could at least give credit where it is due... looping RJD2 beats isn't really "arranging" The heavy drum solo parts of the song kinda clash with the vocals too....

Otherwise it is not bad, but not really stand out either. Sorry nothing constructive... It is decent and all but it will probably just sit in the background of my ipod. I wont mind when it pops up on shuffle but that is about it.

[OriginalWheelman]

Boring, vanilla, and uninspired.

[DrifterXRPS13]

Boring, vanilla, and uninspired.

you gotta take it upthe butt for that to change man...but trust me, it's worth it.

Downloading now. BTW I think the name of your group is horrible. Sorry but I'm blunt.

[King Ranzo]

I am enjoying this and I'm a metal guy. Then again I am into a large amount of rap and electronic. Keep up the good work.

Yeah the band name threw me off too. Could be worse. I saw "Rabbit Fighter" open for Better Than Ezra. Maybe I'd like the name more if Rabbit Fighter wasn't a terrible band.

[Pento240sx]

Is aight. Not diggin the name, but I like the beats.

[twelv]

thanks to everyone who downloaded and listened to the songs.
I will ask ace to go back and check the credits. thanks for pointing it out.
All we have is a microphone and a computer trying to do the best with what we have.

[twelv]

Our video has gotten 200 views over the week and 100 views in one day, it has doubled in views.
The songs have been streamed over 2000 times and download 1000 times in one week. Thanks for listening to our music.

[breadbox]

The name is what ever, I hope at least that it is just a name and you dont all have Geek Personas you use on stage.

The beat is awesome. Pretty much everything Empty said too.

I'm gonna listen to the album now and let you know on that too.

[twelv]

You can find the band performing at the club on YouTube.

I liked the first track, and the rest were decent. No real super stand out jam but the album flows well.

I'm sure not everyone is gonna get amped off references to xmen and land of the lost but I found it entertaining.

[twelv]

I don't know if i should be happy or sad.

We only have X amount of GB we are allowed to download free per month and it is almost used up in less than 2 weeks. We never expected this so now we are going to be forced to charge people $1 or donations to download it but not yet.

It is because the site is set up that.


Thanks our vid was watched as far as Japan.

The vid got only 2-3 views per day but now we avg 30-40 views per day.


THANKS

[breadbox]

Are you guys getting out and doing anyshows to promote the album? IF not, Throw a house party!

[twelv]

Filming a music video in a club in Miami. We are performing and filming. That will be our 2nd video.
Dec 4th

To be perfectly honest, I hate youtube bands. I think it is a terrible fad that should be shot in the face.

With that said, I am downloading the album right now.

You guys really have potential. Don't fall into the "Weed, bishez, Guns" trap and you should make a name for yourself.

Good work!

Yea, it sucks when people use an avenue to express themselves and work on a positive project. It's much better to sit on a message board and hate things.

When I was a kid in high school, I'd have killed for something like youtube. All I had was a Tascam 4-track and a crappy shure mic to capture my guitar playing. Then I had to run around town to various guitar centers and shove demos into peoples hands to get tryouts for bands. On youtube, people can do so much and get exposure that was unheard of 10-15 years ago. While this kids music isn't for me, I'm glad he's out there being productive.

Sorry, I should have elaborated. I hate Youtube bands that suck. I don't think this band sucks.
I actually liked the album.

The problem with youtube is the fact that there is so much crap on it I feel like my time is wasted needlessly, someone else should have shut these kids down so they try something they might be good at.

And on to the album.
I think the Introduction and airborne were my favorites. I could have done without a couple of the songs.
I would like to see some more complex rhyming schemes and alot of the beats just sound flat.
otherwise, you guys did a decent job.

[twelv]

Thanks for all the positive and negative. I appreciate it.
After the second video is recorded I will post it.

[breadbox]

I found tracks from I guess the first album, and this one has WAY better production value than the earlier tracks. After giving it a second run through I liked the beginning tracks much more than the latter tracks. The music overall is pretty amazing. Some of the verses bring down the quality on a couple tracks, but I def like Wolfman's delivery.
