Versus Mode; Round 1: Results

Wednesday, August 26, 2009 at 6:14 am

When we last spoke, I had just sent in my submission for the first challenge of the Versus Mode competition.  Well the results are in and I am…… eliminated. 3rr0r is a sad panda, but enough other bad things have happpened since Friday that this one can be overlooked. Anyway, there were some good tracks submitted for this challenge, as well as some great ones.  Aditionally, I got some good feedback both on what I could have done differently on the track and what I can change on this site.  Site updates coming soon-ish as a result will include a twitter-widget, a rar-file of all the tracks posted on the music page, and pictures.

Best of luck to the remaining competitors.  Don’t slack off, I’ll be watching you.

Versus Mode; Round 1

Thursday, August 20, 2009 at 11:59 pm

Ok, here goes! By the time this post becomes visible the track should be up. I’m pretty excited about this one. It’s a track I’ve been wanting to write for a while, but not until Hatter issued the challenge did I know what exactly I wanted to say in it.  Without further ado, I present myself:
I Am 3rr0r

Breathing Life

So I’ve been hard at work on the first challenge for the Scrub Club Versus Mode competition. The track itself is currently with trusted engineer and beatsmith Krhymestar One of First Degree productions for engineering purposes. In the meantime, I’ve slapped a fresh coat of paint on the site, and will be continuing to make minor tweaks probably right up until the submission deadline (midnight tonight CST).

Oh, I also did a diss-track last week on this guy Tre who was being a dick on the internet. In the meantime he has stopped being a dick so I’ve stopped hating on him. I still really enjoyed making the track, and engineering issues aside I think it came out pretty well. Here it is: (Lyrics after the break)

Busy week… Two tracks incoming, along with some changes to the site. I hope they will be to your liking. That is all until things are done.

Hatcore

Monday, March 16, 2009 at 7:10 am

So at long last the Hatcore EP has dropped. Yours truly can be found doing the chorus on a track f. Fatty Goodness, Tiri’Anor, MC Wreckshin, IllGill & Cumfucius on a Pellicane! beat. Anyway, I did a twitreview of the EP (which is *almost* too long to be called an EP), here it is:

Time to finally check out the Hatcore EP “Men With Hats”. 3.5 months in the making, 10 tracks, all colabs. I’ve been looking fwd to this.

1:The Twin Snakes;@KABUTO_RAPS f. Old Snake:Nice minimal beat,Old Snake hard to understand,still a fun opener. KTP intro to hook hat-haters.

2:Burying the HATchet:MC 8bit f. Fatty Goodness:Seriously Hatty raps, good background track. I think both rappers have leveled recently.

3:H4RD H4TZ:Cumfucius&ChemistTheMenace:More leveling, esp CtM. Vox could be upped a touch. Another makeup track .Nice beat. Too short.

4:The Hatz Are Out Tonight:Kincade,ThugmastaJ,OGDV:Wow. Grinning for the whole track. This is why you don’t eff w/ hatcore, serious.

5:Hat-Wearing Motherfuckers:FattyGoodness&@KABUTO_RAPS f.MC_Loki:Still grinning. Digging slower-than-usual KTP. Fatty w/ cake, Loki, icing.

6:The Don’s Hatcore Battle Mega Mix:OGDV f.IllGill:Vitos west-coast beat invokes Dre. Vox lowish. Gill amuses,but not as gangsta as the beat

7:HATCORPS:Darconomicock(Cumfucius & Tiri’Anor) f.OldSnake,IllGill,MCWreckshin:Familiar beat. (Vicious Attack;Mad DPS f. 3rr0r & The Ranger)

7.1:Hatcorps:DC isn’t bad. Damnit snake,I dont like to hate,but really,lyrics dont suck, but voice ruins. Gill & Wreck make me chuckle tho.

8:Hatcore Gangbangaz:CtM&OGDV f.MC_Loki:Enjoyable, this project has been good for CtM, but Lokis verse wins. More solid OGDV gangsta beats.

9:Era Draconis:@KABUTO_RAPS f. Cumfucius,Old Snake:KTP pulls out some crazy linguistics here. Cummy cums solid. Old Snake irks. 2/3rds fun.

10:Hatcores Finest:Fatty Goodness f. 3rr0r,Tiri’Anor,MC Wreckshin,IllGill,Cumfucius(Pellicane! beat):Some issues on EP track,but Cummy fixed

10.1:Hatcores Finest:A good hatty colab closer. The chorus(me) isn’t great. The verses are enjoyable, but imo Cummy(last) stands out above.

Conclusion: Had low expectations going in. I was wrong. This is a really fun EP with some badassery contained therein. Will bump in car.
