How To Create A Buzz With Mixtapes

Posted on 19th May 2010 by admin in Uncategorized - Tags: Buzz, Emcee, Fans, Instrumentals, J Armz, Long Time, love, Mixtapes, Nbsp

 The love for mixtapes    will never fade . Fans   love to   receive   free  songs   from there favorite    rapper     .  Artist   also utilize  mixtapes  to  stay  relevant . If fans  don’t hear from  artist    in a long time, sometimes your  name will fade    if you wasn’t a  skilled   artist. Mixtapes are essential  ï»¿ to stopping that from becoming true ï»¿ . “How To Be An MC” was a mixtape series started  ï»¿ by producer named “J.Armz.” J.Armz ï»¿ has been distributing this mixtape  for up and coming artist  to use.  found    another mixtape series that’s similar to “J.Armz.” This mixtape is called “How 2 Be An Emcee” it was started ï»¿ by an MC ï»¿  ï»¿ named “Kurty Durty.” Instead of having ï»¿ a whole mixtape full with beats , he raps over the ï»¿ instrumentals  provided by “J.Armz.”  Kurty Durty   is a very talented   rapper ,I can I can see this kid   with a deal  in the near future. Mixtapes  can   help further your career  in a massive  way. Take the new artist  J.Cole   for an example. he started with one mixtape, it was so good, that it landed him a deal . I’m sure it happened for more than just him, but he blew up within  a couple months. If that isn’t inspiration, then I don’t know what is. Mixtapes are very important to boosting your career. You want to make a good impression the first time, don’t just give out any  out the closet  music. Make sure the  songs   sounds some what    professional, I recommend using pro tools to record your music  . What I don’t recommend is giving away free bad quality music , where the levels  on the verses are off. You want the audience to come back to your music, not run away.

You can shapea wide fan base with one mixtape. Let’s be honest, people love free music, that’s why they download it. Don’t be afraid to give away free music, take Lil Wayne for an example. Lil Wayne has given away tons of free music and remains the most relevant rapper in the game currently. Mixtapes are a big key to your success, don’t sell yourself short. I can assure you that using website like “www.datpiff.com” and www.thatcrack.com will create you a good buzz in the industry.Making it in music right now is not an easy task, everybody wants to be a rapper. Everybody wants to be a rapper, but everybody can’t rap, it’s as elementary as that. The reason it’s so hard because A&R’s are tired of running into the ones that can’t rap. It makes it hard for the ones that can rap. Every once in a while, a hot MC get his big break, but not very often. If you have raw talent and truly believe you can make it, then don’t stop for no one. Continue to pursue your dream, I’m rooting for you.

Should i get rock band 2 or the beatles rock band?

Posted on 16th February 2010 by admin in rock band 2 codes - Tags: Aerosmith, beatles, Beatles Fan, Beatles Songs, Crappy, Die Hard, game, games, GH, love, Rock Band

I already played rock band 2 but it was the crappy ps2 version and i love the beatles which one is better? Also is either of the games compadible with the gh aerosmith guitar?

They should both be compatible with the Aerosmith guitar. I would personally choose Rock Band 2 since there’s a much bigger catalog of songs for it and it’s more versatile. The Beatles game can only play The Beatles songs. If you are a die hard Beatles fan then I’d say get The Beatles: Rock Band, otherwise go with Rock Band 2.

Also, there’s nothing stopping you from getting both if you really want them.

Love Spreads FC – Rock Band 2 Expert Drums

Posted on 8th January 2010 by admin in rock band 2 cheat codes - Tags: 100%, band, drummer, Drums, Expert, FC, gold, love, rock, roses, someguy913, spreads, stars, stone

To answer one of the most common questions (What pedal should I use without paying hundreds for a kick trigger?), for the money, I recommend the “Destroyer Pedal”, which gives zero double-hits, it’s metal, and it’s great for using heel-toe with. (Better than my DW5000, actually, due to DW’s short footboards.) You can get it at http://www.rockbandpedal.net/

Officially Sponsored by http://www.rockbandparts.com – The best product, best warranty, best prices. PERIOD. Destroyer Pedal, ION Drums, and MORE!

First documented FC of Love Spreads by The Stone Roses! Very fun drum chart, especially if you try to mimic the dynamics. This was actually a re-FC for the purposes of a video, my original FC was a few hundred points higher due to a few more back-end squeezes. Check Scorehero for the higher score.

FAQ
1. Do you play real drums too?
Yes, I do. I’ve been playing drums for a little over 5 years now, focusing mainly on trap set, with some limited hand percussion experience as well. Before I learned to play real drums, though, I also played Drummania, a drum simulation game made by Konami and part of the Bemani family of music games. It really got me interested in drums, I highly recommend it if you can find a machine near you.

2. What do you use to play Rock Band? Is your kit modded or something?
Please see the link above entitled “Info on my Drum Setup”.

3. How much did your setup cost?
The Roland TD-6 SX-T that I use goes for around $2000 on Musician’s Friend, probably cheaper if you look on ebay or Craig’s List.

4. Wow, that’s a lot of money. You really spent $2k just to play Rock Band?
Nope, I bought the Roland kit months before Rock Band came out to do some recording and session work. I also badly needed a quieter way to practice drums in my apartment; an acoustic kit with silencers just wasn’t cutting it. It was just very good fortune that I already had the kit when people began discovering how to hook up MIDI kits to Rock Band.

5. Ok, but isn’t that kind of cheating? (UPDATED)
I suppose everyone will form their own opinions about this subject no matter what, but the official word right now is that it is not cheating. Posts on both ScoreHero and the Rock Band forums have been made about this mod, and both the ScoreHero mods, rockband.com mods, and Harmonix staff have ruled that this type of kit does not invalidate competitive scores. They have, in the past, ruled that any sort of double-bass pedal mod would invalidate such scores. However, since the release of the Guitar Hero: World Tour drum kit, it has become possible to use two stock bass pedals without any further modification besides a simple Y-splitter, and the kit can be used for World Tour and both Rock Band games. Accordingly, Scorehero now considers double-bass pedals legal and acceptable for competitive scores. For the record, I use a DW5000 single pedal unless otherwise noted.

6. What do you use to record your videos?
For the direct-capture I use an Adaptec Gamebridge. You can get them from Amazon.com for between $30-$50 USD. For the external view I use an older Sony Handycam. (It still records on Digital-8s…)

7. Why do you usually only hit the bass pedal during the Big Rock Ending? Doesn’t that get you less points?
For an explanation of how the points gained from a BRE work, please see the description of my Run to the Hills Gold-star video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPGiIZ…
Alternately, search the Technique forums at rockband.scorehero.com for in-depth explanations of BREs for both guitar and drums.

8. Can I add you as a friend/play Band Quickplay/Score Duel/hang out with you?
I’d love to! Unfortunately, I’m just one guy who also has a job, girlfriend, and is a full-time college student. So, what little time I do have for Rock Band, I’m usually spending either working on Solo Tour, or playing with my ScoreHero band, More Cowbell! http://rockband.scorehero.com/forum/v…
As for the friend thing, XBL only lets me have 100 friends, and I reached that limit a long time ago, and it’s getting very full of people I either know in real life or am in frequent contact with on Scorehero, so it’s really not likely. =/ Sorry. Don’t be afraid to send me a message, though. I can’t promise I’ll respond the same day or even the same week, but I’ll do my best to get back to you.

9. Fag. Get a life.
Please phrase all insults in the form of a question. Also, see question #8.

I have so much to write about this FBFC, yet I am almost speechless. (Ha – who am I kidding? I’m never lost for words). This took us a really long time, probably about 8 hours of playing time total, if not more. Which really reminds me of how much of a life I have.

OK. Seriously. I think we all hate this song now, because we have played it for so long, lol. But this is DEFINITELY the most epic thing to have ever happened on Rock Band. It’s not really easy on any instrument, Guitar has an insane solo, Bass is basically just as difficult as Guitar for the entire song, as well as pretty strange fretting during the “Weird Organ Part” as we began to call it, hahaha. Drums are ING INSANE. I’ll have to ask Santos exactly how many people have FCed it in general on drums, but it’s not a lot.. Vocals are obviously the easiest (well if you are tone deaf I guess they wouldn’t be easy), but there is one phrase that’s kind of a pain in the if you aren’t consistent.

I can’t believe we did this, honestly. It’s so amazing. I’ve never really been one to brag about our accomplishments, but I think after this we deserve it. I have no reservations this time: This -IS- the most insane and epic thing to have ever been done on Rock Band since it was released.

Make sure you give SantoOs lots of love, he FCed this TWELVE times throughout the course of our grinding. No other drummer has FCed it that many times, let alone in Band Quickplay, where there is a ridiculous amount of pressure. A lot of you hardcore followers know that it was usually JPrez that choked our runs, but don’t give him too much beef.. I’d like to see you FC a song as nuts as that under the pressure he had when it was all relying on him. The worst was probably when he missed in the last 12 seconds of the song. You can imagine how bad he felt after that. We also Full Band 100%ed this, but Negative overstrummed in about the last 30 seconds of the song.

It’s not just about doing the FBFC though. A huge reason why we were able to keep doing it after all of the frustration is because we are really good friends. We support each other and don’t let the game get in the way of our friendship. I think that’s the most important thing of all.

Longest description ever? haha. Be sure to favorite, comment, rate, and enjoy the video, we worked very hard to get this. :)

I don’t remember exactly when we got this, but it was at least 2 months ago.. maybe more. These boys are amazing, it only took us two runs.. took us longer to actually get all of our lazy bum’s together than to actually get it! Blind & Alf don’t really play anymore, and I took a hiatus from Rock Band since Spring Break.. but I’m back now. :]

Look forward to more Full Band FC videos.. I have something special in the works with a band which you will all get very close to soon.

How many Wii controllers is the maximum on Rock Band 2 for the Wii?

On the back of the Rock Band 2 box for the Wii it shows a picture of a Wii Remote with a number 2 on it. This normally means that the maximum number of players for the game is 2. However, Rock Band's big feature is the fact that you can play with up to four people. Can you only play with up to 2 people on the Wii version? Is this a typo? Or is there some other explanation?

no you can play up to four players on rock band 2.

there can only be one singer, 2 guitarists, and one drummer

i donno why it says that on game

i have rock band 2 and i love it so get it!
