Listen To I Make P Hip Hop Song By Dimestop | Looperman

wow Lu always love to receive a comment of thought from you, your a cool friend i have always appreciated and i know your time is often limited, i invested in a hobby that became a passion and improved my mental health and me as a person, so the money i have spent has been a solid investment because it was me and my health that i was investing in, you can't really put a price on that

nice to see you about bruv, its been time, glad your still with the music tho, i will give your fresh a play in a tad :-) thanks for the stop off and listen, its always appreciated

thankyou bruv, your listen and comment are appreciated, welcome to the community, hopefully you will bring some work and join in with us all :-)

thanks BoaBou, its good to see you back in the community, like a bus, your waiting for, then two come at once, lol, i will be checking your fresh out in a while, quick turn round bruv but always a great listen

hello Bullitt thanks for the stop off, i'm glad you brought up the difference between UK and USA rappers, they are different in flow and delivery and both have their place in todays listening and being a proud north easterner from the Boro but livin in Birmingham, i still talk like a boro lad not a brummie i have never tried or wanted to be anything other than me, and bring my own individual character, the streets i have had many comparisons with and I gracefully except it everytime Mike Skinner writes good lyrics, thanks for a nice comment bruv

thanks for the listen and feedback Micky, i have always tried to push boundaries in my music, sometimes i beat myself up because i have my plans and ideas that are more structured and follow the standard format but i love messing shifting the panning side to side, i like a bit of ping-pong in sound too, i use lots of automation also, i mess with stereo editing and shaping and like reverb delay interwoven with resonance shifts.
I have quite a few good tracks penned and I am going to bring just a straight down the middle piece no sideways movement apart from maybe a couple of overlays left or right but nothing else and see how i think it sounds,
i do use reference tracks also at times as a guide, but tend to divulge to show a little creative flair, i suppose it really is the music choice,
if i do a ballad, I use Manuela, well i use an expensive Studio master of hers that her producer Nic sent me, when we were working together, her voice is amazing the master is so professional and sounds gorgeous and of course I would never ever share it, it was a personal gift, she is a big part of our community with her support and advice to most, you are also one of the artist along with Rob and Cru who i looked up to for guidance, you all helped me and also allowed me to be a little crazy, and to be truthful, hip-hops boundries are limitless so your still qualified to have your own opinions mate, it has crossed into all genres because of its lyric content from rock to jazz to funk and pop any rapper could spit 8 bars and it would or should stand out in the track, i'll keep pushing because that's what this community taught me, its artist are daring and prepared to push things, just like you mate with your amazing compositions only difference being yours sound f#ckin great everywhere lol

lol, i heard that one mate only the punch line was different to the one i heard, it was i can turn lager into Niagara falls lol same meaning tho, it turned out ok to be fair, thanks for the stop too Steven, its always a pleasure to see my ol' mate about

that drop was a headache, i had it at so many different volumes, and after a few tweaks after the initial upload i settled on it as it is now, I love my upgrade it just encourages me to continue and i have quite a few tracks penned that i need to get down in my DAW, just commented on your fresh fam, nice job

its good to receive from you bruv, we been friends for time, and our group certainly gelled and bounced together, we have all watched each other grow over the years and people like yourself have noticed the small changes that i try to bring using things like stereo seperation resounance using mono and stereo layers, i try to get loudness and definiton with other tools that you have far more control over than just pumping up the EQ volume slider, this community and its talent have been an enormous part of my story, helping me and aiding me, i am truly grateful for this. but i want to be truthfully honest Aaron. the thing I love this place for more than anything other than my grandchildren was how it released me from holding on to thoughts and feelings.
I struggle with my mental health and possibly anxiousness believe it or not. this community improved my issue more than anything, i searched hard, that journey was a long time bruv 20 years and the change to my life has been incredible since i found this passion it gave me confidence it gave me myself belief back, its people are the reason Im still here, not the platform as a whole, the success of the platform is important of course but if we lose its people, i feel i would loose out big style, i carried all my grief, i knew i needed a release from it, i was petrified when i joined, i was known as the man with a big heart, i then I wrote a song about my pain and the very first comment brought instant relief because others felt it reflected parts of their own lifes, i had tears rolling down my face, have i found what I've always been looking for, it was instant relief, i have never looked back
dimestop was born, he is the man that felt trapped inside for years, yes he's only a character, but because of the difference he has made to my life, i will be forever grateful to him even tho he is only a figment of my crazy thinkings
happiness doesn't necessarily come from having everything it comes from the balance inside first and then LM gives you a stage to perform and share your personal journey with like minded people all around the world who also have their own struggles, and you can show have far you have come in your own self, its simply beautiful

hi Juan thanks for stopping off, i have been a follower of hip hop for 40 years it all started for me as a dancer, i done the holiday camps and spent 3 years as a younger man having fun, i was a street dancer i carried on until i was 55 until i dislocated a rib doing a windmill lol, my son came in to hospital and laughed maybe now its time to quit the energentic stuff Pops, i was introduced to music production and fell in love with it, especially the LM community it was naturally the path i would choose hip hop, i have done Indie and Ballads but i do love my hip hop its a culture my friend it was quite political and explosive in its early days too and the dancing grafffiti wearing bright colors was all part of it and standing out.
i have had a very intriguing life complicated and painful at times with tragedy sprinkled in also so lots of my lyrics are based on my life or friends close too me and my job is to make the story come to life and feel as real as possible, i love to play a part in helping to build what we have here and moreso comment and give feedback and encouragement to my talented friends and of course my friend the spanish guitar is a huge part in hip hop too a truly wonderful sounding instrument with definition and character, i also don't leave comments to recieve them back, i do it to inspire others after you work on a production and to hopefully encourage you to continue as the community will emrace it make you feel your time spent was worthwhile, it all makes toward a safe place to help you feel comfortable sharing your music, i also have an extremely close group here but i include everyone, as you have to be brave to bring your own music and stand up to be counted and judged. artist are one of a kind, we share a passion

thanks Cosmo i appreciate you stopping off, i had a big upgrade of my hardware, the difference is recognizable to myself and others that have known me for years the sound is more dynamic but the fact you enjoyed it is all that really matters to me,
i hope that people enjoy their listen as its these people that have guided me, our people are good people that have helped me grow with feedback and advice,
i look forward to you bringing the Jazz, MT (Mark) brings it often and its always great music, thanks again for the listen and coment,
I also love a hat too my friend, i have about 15 from trilibys to straw bowlers, flat caps and i love my purple pork pie hat lol, best Regards Paul.

hello Chris, hope your well mate, thanks for the nice comment, yes both the Focusrite and Shure 5M58 are great pieces of kit and make a difference to the quality of the sound that outputted, i am really pleased with these purchases, thanks again

hey Morgan, nice to see you bro, I'm not sure what happened with that collab we were all gonna do, but if you are ever interested in working together just let me know, I do rate you bruv, my set up is sweet now all pro gear, I encourage collabs because I think it fantastic for community cohesion, thanks for stopping off

thanks for your lovely comment Tripple, your right life sometimes gets in the way of the things you love doing, but if its not paying the bills, you have to concentrate on the things that do, i never got into music for the money, i have friend who made millions in the 70's in a big band for me it was more to do with unburdening some of the weight from hurt i carry and it worked better than any medication i was prescribed when i started to write my own songs and it gave me the relief i was looking for, that's why this community feels special to me, because it allows me to be me, it embraced me and I made many friends, this will always be the place I call home when it comes to music and I appreciate every artist who gives me their time as that is a valueable commodity that belongs to somebody else and they have chosen to spend some of it with you and its limitless talent is inspirational for everyone if you take part

thanks for the wonderful comment glenn, I am really happy you of all people like the guitars, i don't play guitar but so wish i could, I think its possibly a little late for me to learn now, but you never know, you are one of our finest here @LM so that meant a lot
if I had to listen to an instrument played solo it would be guitar and I'd be cheeky and ask if they could get glennwhite to play it for me lol,
thanks again bruv

thanks for the stop off and comment, its truly appreciated, i love the guitar too it's probably my favorite of all instruments and when it's got a spanish sound it's even better, thanks Mindway

thankyou Chris, now you introduce yourself, I feel i can use your name now lol, your experience and feedback are welcomed, I'm still really learning the best ways I was a complete novice 6 years ago a looper, its only the last few years I started doing more myself and started to invest in kit a better interface and mic. I have a dedicated air button to bring the vox forward, but the vox were recorded loud i could take a few db off lol, it was my first go with it all, with tweaks I'll improve the levels but I created a loud artist, now i can't shed him lol, thanks your time its appreciated

thankyou Richard, the upgrade has really improved the finish i can now put out and i was pleased with the results here, things will get better as I use them more too, thanks for the constant support and lifting comments

thanks for the stop off Critical, its good to be back and hopefully no more long breaks, I'm totally happy now with my set up and i do love our community here

thanks for stopping sounders the new gear has worked out great and i will continue to get better results with new tweaks to it, I'm a bit of a fly writer i get ideas i pen a vocal, i have probably 6 at the minute then i'll make a beat or better still a colleague makes something fire, which i much prefer, i will jump on it if it creates a stir and the vibe I have, well we joined to learn and share collaberating brings far more to your game, you also learn to compromise too and take on board other ideas people see that you don't.
paul is not dime I created a braggard rapper to be controversial, but everyone liked him, so it didn't go exactly to plan, the story behind this track is really a broke ass rapper making out he's makin from the industry when all his rivals are spending just to get a foot in the door, go ahead press the play key

thanks for the listen and comment bro your words are appreciated thanks

thanks Rita, appreciate you stopping by, the production quality is far better, you get a much bigger sound, to answer your question on my other post , the interface is the Focusrite scarlet solo, its a good brand with a huge dynamic range and you can plug a guitar in the front too, there is lots to choose from at many different price points but it makes a big difference, you notice immediately. I also have all my speakers run through it, and it has a headphone socket too, with a dedicated volume button i had to buy a few 1/4 inch TRS cables but the sound quality is amazing, it's good to be back Mrs

Fanis, i appreciate your support my friend, the upgrade will bring better results, i thankyou for your constant support of me and the other artist in our community too, this place would be nothing without its community, thanks for the listen

hi Mark, thanks for the comment its not me playing its vst an loops, i'm still playing with it to see what its capable of but its an amazing piece of kit i rarely use a mouse cos the midi does all that now too, its got all the transport buttons all linked to the daw so its seamless, but i will be producing my own music on it and sequencing the beats eventually. im in no rush, i have i good set up now, trying to find time is the issue as you will obviously know yourself.
yes Shure are a great brand and the SM58 is a classic mic, to be truthful Mark i do this as a hobby like most of us but like i say if your gonna do something like music do the best you can and if that means buying extra equipment to make it better than why not a few hundred pound investment as taken my finish to a higher standard its not exactly breaking the bank either lol. we love this shit.

the speakers are amazing 50W with 120dB dynamic range so loud yet crystal clear and the bass is fantastic the mids cut through and the top end is sharp and bright, so i assume the headsets deliver great sound too. Im about to buy AKG K92 studio headset for mixing and production they are highly rated, so as you can see I'm still committed to it and our community

thanks for the check Flawless, everything sounds good my end its not left sided there is three sets of vox on this, lead vocal is central the two other vox overlays are both panned one 18% left and the over 17% right, i appreciate you takin a listen bro

thankyou bro really appreciate the comment, I'm gonna download your track later and put a vocal on it, i have had a certain track penned for some time but its personal and the music has to be right, I aint come up with nothing yet and heard nothing i think is worthy but Kiana is its a lovely piece and I think it could be a good track, thanks again Asociale, its great to have you in the community too bro, I'll be in touch

how are you bro, its nice to be back about give your kid a bump from me too, I'll catch up with him soon enough tho, i looked at the Arturia and the midi board keylab mk3 myself its good. i was going to purchase the Arturia keylab midi before i plunged for the FL Key 61 instead, it was a no brainer for me my daw is FL so its seamless integration and i got it at a great price too, similar to when a bought my Daw i was about to buy, but something came up and i went out bought it the following day but a 30% off sale had started so got the daw at 70% cost. used the same tactic buying the midi got that at 70% too what a bonus and saving that was roughly £160 cheaper.
I would also be honored to have a verse with the squad, we may never meet but we all bros.
i did hear yours with the vintage team it was great, although i wasn't about, i did pop in occasionally just for a listen a couple of times, it was to keep showing myself what i was missing lol

thanks Kay, i'm really happy with my upgrades and Im happy to be back in the community i have missed you lot but Im finding time again after a busy couple of months, thanks for the stop off and coomment, much appreciated.

Hi Franz, you were the inspiration behind this track so to hear your honored is the icing on the cake for me, rhyme like a waterfall of words thats what you wrote on crazy, i take inspiration from words others say about me, its not the first time either, Manuela once wrote, you even sound great on my shitty i-pod
my next track had the lines

I know your all listening
I sound great
even on your shitty
listening equipment

I was actually watching Masterchef on TV while penning this track, so thats were one of the verses came from too, you have to be imaginative when writing lyrics to standout, and what better way to standout than shouting out your friends and colleagues, your all great artists, keep giving inspiration broski

hi Manu thanks for the listen and feedback. the volume change you mention has been the biggest problem, i want the difference to be noticeable and i have already had it at 4 different levels, I changed it 3 times in the first 2 hrs after i uploaded lol, it was louder than it is now but after my mates had a listen they thought this level was good and noticeable so I went with it, one also told me it sounded a little tinny, i also thought i could here something i didn't like, after i worked it out, i put a high frequency exciter on the master, so i removed that and the tinny sound was gone. I may take another look at that transition you mention tho, smile.
the equipment is the big difference and I thank you for your help when i was deciding, the microphone is an excellent product. its good to be back too, sharing and helping the community, enjoy the end to your weekend, Paul

thanks Anthony, the new gear is a big plus as i have 120 dB dynamic range from the interface, the speakers are absolutely fantastic the sound is loud but crystal clear, the more a play with the gear the better the output will be, I appreciate your lovely comment as always

thanks for the check and comment Robin your time is always appreciated mate

thanks for the check Dan, should be around on a regular basis now I have everything I need
