This was better than any other Knick raps I heard. I dont know if you've just gotten better or you got a better mic but the vocal quality on this track was way better than anything Ive heard from you in the past. Sometimes a good condenser mic makes all the difference. I definitely heard shades of early Eminem in your tonality, but thats not a bad thing. I used to hear that alot myself.

Good ish though, you know they're going to beep out those curses on the radio. :lol:

Haha yeah....I actually had to send them a clean version. They're only going to play a 1:30 of it anyway. I told them to play the second verse. We'll see how it goes.

Thanks for the compliments though. Like I said to BnO who said I sounded like I finally hit puberty...last year I had a palatal expander in my mouth for my braces....so it was hard to even talk and eat, never mind spit rhymes. It made me sound like a little child. So not having to deal with that anymore definitely goes a long way. I also bought a Mac to record on this summer so that improved the quality a lot as well. I've always used a condenser mic. I guess you can also credit some growth on my part as well haha. Glad you're feelin it though. I can't wait to hear this shyt on the air tonight.

Grats on the WFAN exposure.. The lyrics are tight but the beat is way sub par.

quick question.

What font/settings did you use for the "yo!" and "eric live" on the intro? I'm pretty much about to steal it soon as you give me the information.

It was in photoshop. I don't even know the font name, but I used "outer glow" and just messed with the spread and the size a little bit for each one. It was a quickie, so i didn't try anything special. I guess it looks cool by chance.

Do you know what a palatal expander is, sir? Obviously not.

Record a rap song with one of those in your mouth and try to sound like someone without a speech impediment. Either that, or try to record a rap song with the penis you have in your mouth right now. It should have a similar effect.

:D Thanks. People hate because that's what people do...hate. I don't get it. Anyway, kinda sucks that people think I sound so much like Em. He's probably my favorite artist ever, so I guess there's a bunch of influence there without me even realizing it. I'd like to separate myself from him more though, ya know? I don't want people to think I'm biting his style.

I didn't even do that. I only censored out the shyts...he censored out the bitchin and the weiner. He replaced it with "ball hog" which is what I called Zach lol.
