This is a pretty accurate description of what my writing environment is like....really.


Beat: Shadowville.com


Lyrics:
Let the pen hit the pad, fuck no good throw it in the trash, a little toy man comes out of the ground and empties it out. And from above I hear a sound, a mechanical hand drops down, blank paper in its grasp, hands it to me and goes into the ceiling to fold back. My ink well needs to be refilled I got an army of gnomes ready to do my will. An alarm pierces the silence so shrill. Haters at the door it's me they want to kill. I press a button and my sentry robot begins to build, up its energy its getting ready to unleash and punish any faggots dumb enough to step to me. I chuckle at the sound of murder and demolishing. I feel wetness on the floor its my cyber dog slobbering. I point him in the way of the carnage and he starts clobbering. I gotta get back to my work, no time to be interupted no sir. As my words hit the page ,they come to life like a puppet master live on stage, before I get into my real writing phase, I hear the sound of my death robot overheating and about to enrage.


In my workshop the gears turn, putting words into rhymes, rhymes into verses, verses into songs, thats what goes down in my workshop.
So many ideas brought to life, in my workshop I control your fate through the pen, the chisel, and the knife, write about pain and strife, and never will it stop and thats what goes down in my workshop.


I hustle to my robot and enter the shutdown protocol. Whoo, what a close call, but look at this mess, so many bodies torn to shreds, I bend down to clean up the dead but my gnomes swoop into action instead. I shake my head, everything in here goes to plan, I can just press a button I dont need to lift a hand, another song about be done, gotta send it to the QA gnomes they always give it a real run, checking each word and pun, they love their work it's their life and their fun. And if they ever tell me my shit's whack, then I pick 'em all up and throw 'em in trash, fuck it man, I can make some more gnomes from scratch. Maybe the next batch will be nothing but hot bitches with that fat ass.


In my workshop the gears turn, putting words into rhymes, rhymes into verses, verses into songs, thats what goes down in my workshop.
So many ideas brought to life, in my workshop I control your fate through the pen, the chisel, and the knife, write about pain and strife, and never will it stop and thats what goes down in my workshop.


I need some new ink, the type of shit when read put cats to sleep or maybe make 'em deaf so they cant hear me creep. My shelf of ingredients so nice and neat, hmm lets see...what do I need? A bushel of mark ass bitch feet, and maybe a sprinkle of weak rappers tears, thats when I hear the sound of the gears as they start to grind, The engine room has to be in perfect working order for me to write my rhymes. I inspect the machinery with a trained eye and eventually I find, the source of the problem as it leers, my robotic dog got caught in the gears. He looking like he in pain and fear, but im pissed off show no remorse, I banish his ass as I scribble a verse, on the walls, something like "little dog you dont belong here at all, spend 100 years sucking on rosie o'donnells balls" See, that's the power in this pen I wield, if I wanted to I could write about you running backwards through a cornfield, and the funny thing is you will.

Again, this is brilliant!

it built up amazingly with background providing such a fantastic blend that it makes it even greater. I just wish u make more of this. ITs so friggin great.

again it tells such a nice story and the concept it so well portrayed that it puts u right into the tale even though its a rap.

Nice variety on the background music too. Nice work man!

haha, seems like you're my biggest fan Darklight! You know if there is something that tweaks you a little bit feel free to let me know, I know this cant be perfect! Thanks for listening and for the review.

This is pretty cool all around. I enjoyed that you had a story within your vocals and it went along very well with the whole robot/workshop theme that you had going on with this song. The vocals themselves were pretty decent all around.

The amount of lyrics that you have is amazing. Usually when listening to songs it's just the same thing over and over or just very few things being said, but you had so much here.

The music set behind the vocals was perfect and sounded really good with the lyrics. I personally didn't like that other voice that you had in there. The fake sound to it just wasn't really enjoyable at all. I also think that you kind of ended the song abruptly on top of that.

BAF responds:

The gnomes were a completely spur of the moment thing! I was about to export the final product when I got the idea, sorry you didn't like it. Yes it does end abruptly, and that's a problem I face A LOT for the reason you already mentioned, I just write too much lol, and I have a tough time cutting things out. Thanks for the review.

Hmm.

I've got a mixed view of this particular piece - it sounds pretty good, I'll admit, as all of the music is a lovely way to present the tune in itself, but when it comes to the lyrics, the necessity to swear so much seems to distract me, rather than embrace me. It's possibly a reason that I've never really been the biggest fan of hip hop, to be honest.

I quite like the backing vocals that you've used with the gnomes through the song and the lead vocals really do tend to have quite a Snoop Dogg quality to them and I think you've certainly got a talent for this particular genre.

Perhaps some sort of instrumental would help to break this piece up - possibly throw some sound effects in there, like Eminem does and you'll be onto a winner. With the gnome quality of the song, it's not entirely serious, so you can get away with the comedy element in a tune such as this.

BAF responds:

The beat isnt mine, it's downloaded from a 3rd party. I don't really have any beat making tools so I usually just go with what I get. As far as the swearing I think hip-hop as a genre has a certain amount of attitude to it, I guess that doesn't have to be expressed with swearing but it works for me and in this case I thought it worked well. The fact that you are not a fan of hip-hop and still manage to give an unbiased review is pretty cool, I really like what you and the RRC do, thanks for listening.

Good

Wow, the lyrics are very long, nice. I like hip hop best when the rapper has something to tell (and preferably something else than "I'm the greatest and here's why"). You came up with a nice story so it is very interesting to listen to it.

Only thing I didn't like was the mechanical like way of speaking in the first few lines. Maybe that was intentional, since you are rapping about "a mechanical hand drops down", but I didn't like it that much.
I think you develope a more natural voice later on, or I just got used to the "mechanical" style. ^^

BAF responds:

You hit the nail on the head pretty much, my delivery is something I will be focusing on for the future as I believe I have the lyric writing down pretty well. for me it's a lot more fun to write a story than just 3 minutes of me telling everyone how great I am at rapping. Thanks for the review Haggard!

nice job here

Yo I think this might be your best yet. Nice choice of beat. Shadowville has some good beats to choose from. I agree with Acid. The lyrics were good as hell, but there could be a bit more emotion. Ive had simular concerns. I think alot of it is memorization of lyrics and mic quality. Again, nice job!

BAF responds:

Thanks man, really inspired to do something different when I heard this beat, honestly my mic is pretty damn solid for the situation im working with so I think I just need to strive to not get lazy in my emotion as I go through the track, thanks for the review as always....where's that new Nadi shit?
