Here's where the FJ pony thread rap group song discussions will take place!

I'm gonna paste most of the message I sent you all here too, so it can be referred to easily.


1. Let me know that you DO want to be involved. I've spoken to a some people as early as today and last night but others I haven't talked to about it since like last week. So ya, just reply to the comment on my profile so I can get a definite head count.

2. Once the instrumental track is done, how do we want it distributed amongst all the vocalists? Email? Soundcloud? Mediafire? Let me know what you guys think would be best.

3. Obviously, there are a lot of us who are going to be rapping and writing lyrics. My question is, do we want to just all rap about whatever immediately comes to mind, or do we want to have some sort of general theme? I'm open to suggestions, but you should know that I personally do not listen to really any mainstream rap at all (save maybe like Eminem), so I kind of do not want to rap about guns and booty and all that shit... like.. at all. Haha. So that theme is a no go. Besides that, I'm open to most all suggestions about themes; be it life, ponies, work, etc. Whatever. Let's be creative people! So ya, let me know your suggestions, or if you think it best that we all just rap about whatever we want.

4. This is for the people interested in the production aspect. Now, fujideath had already offered to produce the track and has showed me a sample. But I know since then a couple others have expressed interest in being involved with the production. So, I'm gonna leave it up to you guys to decide what to do with that. Maybe you could all come up with some collaborate idea, or make suggestions to what fuji already has, or perhaps make a track that evolves into a few different beats and melodies. I'm not sure haha, I just don't want to leave anyone out on what they want to do, so just discuss it on the comment I guess.

Oh yes, I forgot to leave the comment, sorry >.<

Still interested, the themes "ponies" or "pony thread" sound good to me, I think it should be something relevant which we can all write about.
User avatar #189 to #198 - ultrablue (05/26/2012) [-]
Yeah, I think a lot of people have mentioned weaving that idea into their verses, so I think we're gonna roll with that.

However, feel free to write about whatever you feel like; and you can include the idea of the thread/bronies/mlp in there somewhere (that's what I'm gonna do)

And yeah, I think that's about it for now. We're just gonna wait on the producers to finish the track and then we'll distribute it to the vocalists, probably through mediafire.

Sounds like a plan.

Good luck with any work you have to do between now and then.

Sweet

5. How long each verse will be: Probably 16 bars, or lines, for now. That may be up for change once the instrumental is done, but I’m thinking with 11 or 12 people rapping, we don’t want the whole thing to end up like 10 minutes long. Well maybe it will anyway lol. We will see, but let’s plan on each person doing 16 for now.

So I think that’s basically it for now. Once the instrumental track is done it will be distributed and the vocalists can get to writing! We will obviously go from there to talk about getting the vocal tracks back to the producers. Looking forward to hearing from everyone! GO GO GO!

1. I'd love to be involved. I've never done something with rap and I would definitely be uncomfortable but working outside of your comfort zone is what makes you better!
2. I would think Mediafire would be best ^^

3. I won't be rapping so I don't have much of a say lol :3

4. I will talk to Fuji

5. I don't care how long each verse is haha it's up to the person/people rapping
User avatar #121 to #128 - flared **User deleted account** (05/24/2012) [-]
1. Yes, i definitely want to be involved!

2. Mediafire might be the easiest, because you need an account to download from Soundcloud, and E-mail might take a while, and with Mediafire you can just click a button and bang, downloaded!

3. I'm against a theme of 'bitches hoes and money', but i can let you know that i will be rapping like a gentlemen in the short time i have.

4. I'm not really interested in writing rap music because i'd have no fuckin' clue!

5. 16 bars sound just about perfect!

Glad to be a part! I'm certain this can go far.

Sweet, dude!

Ya, I like the mediafire idea too. You're right, it's just really a great way to get it easily.
User avatar #120 to #128 - FrankReal (05/24/2012) [-]
I'm not gonna be a part as I don't feel that I can contribute much.
User avatar #122 to #130 - ultrablue (05/24/2012) [-]
Aw dang, you sure dude?
User avatar #123 to #132 - FrankReal (05/24/2012) [-]
I mean I could maybe make lyrics, but they probably wouldn't be that good. I can't rap very good.
User avatar #126 to #133 - xblthatguy (05/24/2012) [-]
You should still try!
User avatar #127 to #136 - FrankReal (05/24/2012) [-]
Is there some sort of deadline or structure I need adhere to?
User avatar #131 to #137 - ultrablue (05/24/2012) [-]
There is no deadline. Maybe once the track is done and you hear it you'll be able to gauge if you'd be comfortable contributing.
User avatar #134 to #141 - FrankReal (05/24/2012) [-]
Also do we have to make the instrumental or can we used ones that already exist?
User avatar #129 to #137 - xblthatguy (05/24/2012) [-]
Really just syllable count for structure and maybe a rhyming scheme if you wanted.

Not sure about deadline, I'd love to help you out though!

Or if you don't want too still, I'll give you a shoutout :)

User avatar #133 to #140 - ultrablue (05/24/2012) [-]
No, other people on here are making the track we will be using! No musical skills are needed for the vocalists. Just rhythm and lyrics!
User avatar #135 to #143 - FrankReal (05/24/2012) [-]
I won't be able to provide vocals, I'll consider making lyrics.
User avatar #136 to #145 - ultrablue (05/24/2012) [-]
Is it the mic problem? Because having a good mic is not a problem. Like I've said before, I don't even have a good mic myself. This isn't going to be some awesome professional sounding thing. Just for fun!
User avatar #137 to #146 - FrankReal (05/24/2012) [-]
I don't have a mic.
User avatar #138 to #147 - ultrablue (05/24/2012) [-]
Can you record straight through a laptop?
User avatar #139 to #148 - FrankReal (05/24/2012) [-]
Nope. I don't have one. That's why I said I can't provide vocals.
User avatar #140 to #149 - ultrablue (05/24/2012) [-]
Dang that sucks. Well, I know some people were worried if they could write lyrics or not, so if I find that problem pop up again, I will let you know and you can contribute some lyrics!
User avatar #141 to #150 - FrankReal (05/24/2012) [-]
Alright.
User avatar #132 to #140 - xblthatguy (05/24/2012) [-]
You'r have to ask ultra on that one!
#119 to #128 - xblthatguy (05/24/2012) [-]
1. Yes!

2. Anyway we can!

3. Why not a little everything, but mixed in with the thread and such?

4. No comment

5. I can go with anything!

Sounds good!
User avatar #124 to #129 - ultrablue (05/24/2012) [-]
Awesome! Ya I like the idea of weaving things about the thread and whatnot in the verses, and it kinda makes sense too. It actually might be interesting now that I think of it to just have everyone rap about what they want to and then see how it all mixes together in the end.
User avatar #128 to #134 - xblthatguy (05/24/2012) [-]
Well, that's what I'll be doing at least. :)

Can't wait to get started and work with everypony!
