Indeph 09-22-05 03:19 AM

I used to always type. Then I got a virus and had to dump my cpu.. so now I write.

Status 09-22-05 03:21 AM

word im gona start to write becuase it took like an hour to record a verse becuase i couldnt read while i spit, sucked balls

La Cosa Nostra 09-22-05 03:41 AM

Typing owns writing by far....

Status 09-22-05 03:42 AM

word it does, NOS you got a printer?

La Cosa Nostra 09-22-05 03:48 AM

No I have a local area network..

That leads directly to fully decked out office from which I can order things to be printed to.

there's a thread liek this like 3 weeks old, but I used to write, but if I'm home I'll type. I think way after than I write so I lose a lot of shit in the writing process, not to mention the faster I write, the sloppier my hnadwriting, the more I lose. AND it's harder to make edits, notes and alterations on writtens vs some typed stuff.

So yeah, prefference: type.
Worse case: written or just jot down a skeleton and free it.

La Cosa Nostra 09-22-05 03:52 AM

A lot of the time when I write lyrics I am extremily badly dosed up on a number of narcotics and alcaholic beverages..

So my handwriting just isnt ledgable anyway...
Typing is awesome..

∆ P E X X 09-22-05 03:52 AM

oh yeah I forgot, I also read my lyrics straight form my LCD monitor while spittin the tracks. Got it's ups and downs vs reading it from the book, but overall, I still take type. I can just do more and do it faster and better. I can't argue with that.

Status 09-22-05 04:21 AM

yeah thats what i mean, i cant see the screen through my wind screen so im basically blind, i can barely make out the words, and i dont wanan be recording with my head turned left or right

not sure how to do

Tha Q. 09-22-05 06:13 AM

type.............................................. ................

E.C 09-22-05 07:40 AM

i type.... i find it easier.. i struggle to read my handwriting sometimes

leady 09-22-05 07:57 AM

i allways write, allways carry a notebook with me incase i think of suttin to write.. and if u dont memorise your lyrics atleast somewhat, your emotion wont get its full potential and come out as strong as it could do

American Tiger 09-22-05 09:54 AM

I write. I used to type....
When I had a headset mic.

Now that I have the correct set up I have to write my lyrics in a note book because I can't memorize a damn thing.

...and befo' anyone jumps in and says "Well that's wack"...i don't care 'cause it's my opinion...if you agree holla...if not then meh meh meh...

lol wth?? hows it different.. lol.. cuz wen u type.. u put down what you think in ur head.. when you write.. u put down exactly the same thing.. only difference is how fast u put down ur lyrics..

E.C 09-22-05 11:50 AM

nah dabatos... what he's tryna say is keep it real with writing coz typing is wack.. it shows no emotion...

lol... typing cant show emotion period or writting.. so ur rite bout that.... cuz its jst all lyrics from the heart ;).. woo hoo im cool... lol

Serial 09-22-05 12:04 PM

I type like 2 words a fuckin minute..

I write all my songs.. yellow pad is usually what I use.. an I re-write it before I spit so its easy to read if I havent memorized it first. A few songs Ive freestyled which usually comes out nice an more natural an then use it as a base for the song, then fix it up on paper after.

My brother, who Texted first, types all his shit then prints it to spit it lol.

L. Veracity 09-22-05 12:31 PM

wow, I'm surprised at the responses in here, I thought I'd come in here and be the ONLY person that types isntead of writes, but you all surprise me...

it IS a lot faster to type than it is to write...my thoughts come out faster typing isntead of writing and I can re-organiZe and copy N paste lines different places to make the story go better when I'm typing...all of that being said though, the main reason I type and not write is because I don't have any instrumentals on CD, they're all on my computer so why sit with a pen and pad when I have a perfectly good computer in front of me? :)...

I gotta save all my stuff on disks and print them all out or something though cuz I got like ALL my tracks I've ever written on here and if my computer goes stupid, it's all gone...that's the only thing I gotta worry about...I might e-mail myself the files or something though, so I can still have 'em no matter what...

Lol. That's what's up. I type hella fast, but I prefer writing lyrics on college-ruled paper, re-writing it over onto another line only helps you memorize it faster.

TonyTone 09-22-05 01:33 PM

write then type

Blay'all 09-22-05 01:33 PM

what do u mean u cant read and spit?

American Tiger 09-22-05 07:52 PM

how can u print out one piece of paper an hold it to the mic?
doesn't it flop all over the place?
I gotta have a grip on a thick 100 page notebook.

I dunno how people squint at a screen......while spittin.

Phenom-in-all 09-22-05 07:59 PM

I type when i got my laptop, but I got like 30 coil notebooks in the car, under the bed, in the bathroom, in the kitchen, at my girls house, at work, etc etc... If I typed it, then I just memorize it, or copy it to notebook when I want to spit in the booth. And I dont hold my notebook, I got a music stand. word to your mothers...

American Tiger 09-22-05 08:00 PM

noname 09-22-05 08:12 PM

American Tiger 09-22-05 08:17 PM

^begone.....you are no audio head.

noname 09-22-05 08:19 PM

*runs in a corner and cries*

Ltizzle 09-22-05 08:41 PM

yea i type my shit

but when im typing it, in order for me to actually think of anything decent...
i have to type it in a blank aim box.
none of the microsoft word shit works for me...it always has to be in an empty aim box, i dont know why.

i memorize my verses pretty quickly too, so when im recording em i can just spit it from my head for the most part.
but i have a laptop so ill bring it into my closet and set it up on a stool in front of me just in case i need to quickly glance at the lyrics.

Terumoto 09-23-05 01:12 AM

I wrote before I typed.

I dont know what all these guys are talking about with "writing is more real yo, down 2 d essence of lyricism on pad n pen yo yo"...

typing is so much easier and better. I've grown to hate writing lyrics on paper.

Yeah, I'm kinda witcha there with the IM window, just I'm the exact opposite. I can type anything up just about anywhere, but the big-ass blank canvas of a new Word file is intimidating as shit for a min till I start chisling away at it, and before you know it - a song is born. Yay.
