Hip Hop Song Made From Legendary Axe

[ParanoiaDragon]

Even though I don't know much about this stuff, that review was something I quickly wrote up just to get out. It was sort of just throwing together various lines that popped in my head while thinking of way how to review a game by rhyming it. I think I understand what you mean though about the measures and the inconsitency of my review irritates me.

Speaking of rhyming religious books, you gotta check out the Arabic Quran! Part of it's beauty is the way the words rhyme and flow, making it very easily to remember and lovely to pronounce. Example/[url]

You know K, I'm not putting you down, I'm just giving you tips.  I don't claim to be the "rap master PD", far from it!  I have some skills, but, my main thing is music itself, as you know

[Keranu]

Oh I know, bud. I really appreciate the advice because it gives me new ways to look at things and improve, thanks! I also appreciated how you pointed out how the Psalms ryhmed in it's original language because it makes a lot of sense from an Islamic point of view!

Oh and Keranu. Don't listen to the haters. hehe. I liked your Toe Jam and Earl review. 

Aww, thanks! Really though, it's pretty unsmooth.

Thanks for digging it guys- or at least the ambition of using a turbo game in the track.  It's only the first part- there's no chorus until the fourth part on a completely different beat. 

Anyway I've messed around with some other turbo games to make beats with- I am eventually going to do something over the music from stage one of R-Type with the whole thing slowing down at the end for the boss fight- I've also made a beat out of the castle music in DEII and I also just straight looped the character select screen from bomberman 94.

I am an unusual case for rapping even though I've been doing it for so long- because I rarely listen to it.  I'm more of an prog-rock kind of guy.  To me the be-all end-all is King Crimson.

Anyway thanks again- and happy thanksgiving...

To me the be-all end-all is King Crimson.

Cool!! "In the Court of the Crimson King" is definitely my favourite album of theirs. It's actually one of my favourite albums of all time.  The Adrian Belew stuff is cool too, but it does get a little too nuts for me to listen to sometimes. hehe. I've recently downloaded some old King Crimson live videos. Mostly Belew stuff, but it's amazing to watch them play.  You also get to see Tony Levin go wild on the Chapman Stick. Those things are just crazy. There's actually a really good Chapman Stick player here in Halifax. My brother plays often with him in various bands.

Anyway, it's always cool to find King Crimson fans out there.

Ok, as long as you don't jack the beats I'm using   Which castle music are you talking about?  The one that's used in regular castle's, like at the begining of the game, the one used for the water castle, or the one that's used in a castle much later in the game, where you fight inside(I forget all the names, even though I just played thru it not that long ago).  I did a pretty basic song with that castle that you fight in(not the fortress, but a king's castle, that had been taken over).

Hmm, prog rock eh, do you like Dream Theater, Vinnie Moore, or Joe Satriani(if those are considered prog rock, that's what I've always called them).  I love that stuff, mainly thanks to Ys & the Thunder games.  I'll have to check out King Crimson.  IIRC, there's a band called Stride....I think, that my friend let me here, they seem pretty cool, but I haven't sat down & really listened to them yet.

Dream Theater rocks my lame ass. I have a DT tattoo on my right arm, and I'm in the "Honor Roll" of the biography that's being released at the end of the month.

Screw Dream Theater and Jordan Rudess, it's all about Emerson and Wakeman for me. ^__^

A quick look at Wikipedia suggests that the Psalms came largely from Hebrew and Greek manuscripts and not from Egyptian hieroglyphs. Wikipedia is not always correct, but the article on Psalms is decently detailed. What source told you the psalms were from hieroglyphs?

It's been a while since I looked at this subject, maybe I've got the Psalms mixed up with the ten commandments.

Let me look into it and see what I find out in a few days.

I just took a quick look at the article titled "Psalms," and here's what it says about the authorship of Psalms: Jewish tradition maintains that the Psalms are the work of David (seventy-three Psalms are with David's name), basing himself on the writings of ten ancient psalmists (including Adam and Moses). Many modern scholars see them as the product of several authors or groups of authors, many unknown.

The above text is from the section titled "authorship and ascriptions"

Here is an interesting quote from the wikipedia article titled: "Islamic view of the bible": The Qur'an (Surah An-Nisa 4:163) states "and to David We gave the Psalms". Therefore, Islam confirms the Psalms as being inspired of God.

This text is taken from the section titled: Islamic view of the Book of Psalms.

[spenoza]

Either way, I suspect many of the Psalms were around for a long time, in one iteration or another, before they were actually written down. Who knows in what language they actually originated? Spoken tradition long post-dates writing.

[spenoza]

Wow, I never suspected there were so many prog fans here. Emerson's good (if egotistical), but I'll take Lake in any incarnation, ELP, KC, whatever.

[Odonadon]

I love the instrumentals, I just don't really like hip-hop in general, but it definitely sounds professionally done and on par with what I hear on the radio before I turn stations (that's a compliment) .  Any plans to make the instrumental version available?

I don't have the time right now, but if somebody would put the Amen break to the main music of the Namco arcade game "Mappy" and put a big fat Moog bass behind it, you'd have the dopest beat ever to freestyle to... 

[ParanoiaDragon]

"Amen" break?  I'm not sure what that is, but, if you have it, or atleast let me know what it is, I could probably do that real quicklike.

Dude... wtf. I mean, man, a hip-hop producer who doesn't know the Amen break?  To be fair it's more popular in jungle and DNB (my favorite style of music ever), but it's a hip-hop standard as well.

Man, you best watch this:
