do you ever listen to your own music?
 
i do. A track doesnt only base on skills. but by whos doing the song. If it's by somebody you know personally. it's going to be alot better and your going to see it from a different perspective. As if it was just a rapper you know?

me personally i listen to my own muzik. because i do my muzik to MY style. so therefore im probably going to feel my own shit you know. and Lil wayne / Jay Z.influenced me so im jammin to their shit too

∆ P E X X 07-09-06 12:43 PM

hell yeah I listen to my own music. I walk around reciting my own lyrics or hummin my own beats just buggin out to em. Shit I'm no different than anybody else. I love my music.

K.ontroverz.Y 07-09-06 12:45 PM

Word. especially when you record that shit like 4 times over. usually the chorus or a part is stuck in your head. And your walking around sayin that shit and niggaz is like WTF. and you like NIGGA THATS MY SONG. ya dig

J Summers 07-09-06 12:48 PM

yeah... always listenin to my shit... i wake up to my songs... go to sleep by my songs.... drive to work and hear my songs....its all day music with me

Enygma 07-09-06 01:08 PM

Yeah....I got my very own CD in the car right now....I listen to it everyday when I go to work :thumbup:

K.ontroverz.Y 07-09-06 01:16 PM

haha yo thats tight. You be wit your niggaz bumpin to your own shit. that would be ill.

ayo . audrey 07-09-06 01:20 PM

well i produce... so it's kinda different for me.

when i used to spit i listened to my music alot

i still listen to my beats. but i avoid doing it, cuz i always find some kind of flaw in them... [which is kind of why its taken like 3 years for an official miztape to drop] but fuck it.. you cant rush classics

how i see it, if you cant listen.. to the beat

without a merksome flow over it

it's not a good beat. a good beat makes you just wanna fucking like, mute out the lyrics and vibe to that shit

Shear Kaughn 07-09-06 01:39 PM

Yea I Listen To My Own Shit..........

K.ontroverz.Y 07-09-06 01:39 PM

depends on whos spittin on that shit ^ a good beat. and a good song? i'd be jammin that shit for a year. You know. but i feel where your comin from.

LMAO......

But yeah, I don't bump my own shit cause I think it's the best shit since sliced bread....I bump it cause I like it and I can listen for what I need to fix next time. It also gives me a chance to show my shit off to people I see in the streets and shit....

∆ P E X X 07-09-06 05:08 PM

hey that's why I love my music. i performed it, so of course I can hear 'flaws' and it's still excellent, so why not turn it up!!

.Ike. 07-09-06 05:37 PM

dunno...im just weird like that i guess

If you listen to your own shit you hear 100 times more mistakes than someone else, that's because only you know exactly what you were going for, other people can't really tell like that, so I understand.

I listen to my shit sometimes, other times I can't stand it because it represents me when I wasn't as good as I am now. Dig?

TitoBronsky 07-09-06 09:28 PM

Them cats influenced me too, but the reason why they stand out, is because their style is so unique and they switch it up alot. (esp. Jay-Z). Listen to De Ja Vu, his second verse on there, his style is just so amazing and original. It's hard to copy. Alot of rappers out there have been copying Jay-Z style, but he always switch it up so they can never stay with him. I myself tried to copy his style off this song, and it made me appreciate Jay alot more because it's not simple. It is very hard to rap like him.

But, yea, I'm a lil bit different. I been making my mixtape, but I only like 4 out of the 14 songs I made so far, and everyone else is feeling it so far. I don't appreciate my own music for some reason. There's always something wrong with it to me, even the ones that I like I feel it's just not perfect yet. But, everyone else is feeling it, and not just the people that know me. Wierd shit!

Past Tense 07-10-06 05:26 PM
