Wadup?
Im a man of few words, but still Imma make this to the point...
A collective of AG producers (and pardon me, some have not entirely confirmed their participation), has requested if they can team up with AG's dope MC's to create a cla**ical sequel of Remixing the Crates...this time...it will be an MC's Lp...
Certain MC's were suggested, therefore I will like to officially open this thread for comments, suggestion, or whatever that may benefit the birth of the follow up project...
MC's...please bear in mind that AG producers are willing and ready for the battle at hand...come prepared....
;)
Yes yes and yes. I'm in. This is the kind of project I dream about.
Here are some of the main plans to keep this going:
week 01 (this week): get MC's in the first week...
week 02: get beats in second
week 03: get beats to MC's
week 04 get vocals fully seperated from MC's for mixing purposes (track will be used for reference...record clear vocals)
week 05: get the trax mixed in 2 weeks max
and
week 06: get it mastered in the last week before the finalization of the sleeve.
but I've got too much shit to do right now.

Question: which emcee on this site has replied even once to this thread?
Question: which emcee on this site has replied even once to this thread?
This is a dope idea and I feel y'all on emcees not replying and shit
Since Rebbi is a mod...I suggest that he deletes battle threads as soon as they open them just like pron ones.
Question: which emcee on this site has replied even once to this thread?
Thats the point exactly....
If no one ever does....its either we go a different direction or scrap the whole thing totally...
Question: which emcee on this site has replied even once to this thread?
Rob One has replied, but he makes beats too so he partially counts....if all else fails, we'l just have to scrap the AG emcee angle and get emcees from our respective locations cos these niccas here are not hungry enough :-[

For how long are we going to wait for mc'z to step up? We can't just hope and wait forever.

but on the real though, how many of them check out threads under the producer's corner, not many... maybe y'all shud send them pm's or something...giv em an official invite...

Carte Blanch...its on you to make the call, it is after all an MC album, we want you to showcase who you are and what you can do. obviously the track has to go through said scrutiny with the producer giving it a nod of approval but YES you can do to it what you want, make sure its HEAT though...
:D
Busy my s, ke bo ndaki, just wanna claim they hungry(and i qoute "the Hungriest emcee around"), but when its time to feed, ba kgothse... Whats that? NXAaa.

Pyro should rhyme to a dance track on here, for real on some (deacon frost signature dance moves)
Greenbat should get on,
Ootz, Nyambz & Dplanet should contribute beats, if this is going to be an Africasgateway Compilation for real!
Matter of fact Spacevein should get on a Ootz beat
Cash, K9 & Koli

What up Fellas,
Would really like to jump on, but to be honest i really don't have the time right now. I've dedicated all my energy to finishing off this Federation album (50 tracks deep) and the last few songs and post-production on other joints that have been done is proving to be a bitch. The timelines seem a bit too tight for me. Maybe i can jump on Vol 2 if it ever happens ?
Good luck ya'll.
Would love to jump in but i aint got proper facilities..Most MCs here don check the produces's section..i suggest you cats pm them the link to this thread and details ..Try peeps like Praverb,Volatyl,Explicit,kid x,Koli ,Proverb etc..
Im up for it lets work! holla at me explicitmcu@gmail.com
Now here's an updated list

Good list. Please be aware that I am NOT contributing beats to this project (I saw I was listed as a producer). I'm nowhere near the level of you cats. Vocals only from me.
I can a**ist with mixing/mastering if you want.

Welcome M.Z.U and Holstar...you'll be added soo...
@ Dj Peewee - Thanx that such a question is raised, our idea was to line up everyone first and hopefully team up a producer and an Mc to have a theme they will work on, and after they're done, thats when we create a story line from all trax collected. Please bear in mind that a mixtape or album with one theme can sometimes be boring, and a project with such magnitude of talent will end up doing similar things or themes. This in short explains that we will by tomorrow know the list of MC's and what their type of angle we can negotiate to take.
I hope Im clear and Im open for suggestions that can be given.
dope. so the producer has the chance to "produce" the song by collaborating with the mc on the direction of where the song needs to go, just droppin a beat and hes job ending there.

oh and Trompie, on an update ALIAS wants to jump on this Project ma duke, i mean he doesnt have that much of a choice...him and the LYRICAL TIP would be honoured to jump on as Produers, LYRICAL is also an emcee and a sound engineer so he can spit, produce and master some of the tracks. ADD JOSPEH MEEGAR too to the list please, cats are going to the lab tonight infact, to record for sumin the Rebbi hooked up a while back ;)
Alias: Producer
Lyrical TIP: Producer/emcee/engineer
Joseph Meegar: Emcee
Yeah, then beat makers can get their own emcees in and skrew of these ones here. Coz i went thru da thread, i ddnt even see one emcee, but they always first to put up threads(battle me, "im the best")... f*** ya'll. If you can claim it, put it to work...
Thanx for the push there Oints... I just updated the list and I see we now have serious niccz and hopefully (NATURELLE) a lady that can deliver for this project. I believe according to our set plan we are going to focus on getting beats the following week, where by Friday we need to distribute them to all mc's involved via e-mail...(PS: hense I included the e-mail colounm) ... in addition, we will however discuss during next week on who is going to get what in terms of beats so we wont send too many for an mcee to handle....but thats just my opinion there,yo'll are welcome to dispute...bear in mind that its our sites project....
Oh yea, I went thru one of the .doc files and see that I was listed as a producer. Can only drop some snippets in that regard, and I'm sure OINTS still has some of those somewhere in his collections.
But yea, I'm on the emceeing

:D
Trompie has blessed all the emcees on this album with the SECOND BEAT PACK, all looks very very good so far my peoples
I wanna add on that all thanx again goes to the persistance that all have given to this and I hope every one is covered regarding this project... I have however had some e-mails from other MC's who are trying to jump on, but I will like to put it out there that the decision wont be entirely up to me and Oints, but you too...
I felt its only fair to involve you in some of the decision making on this right here....
NOW for the interesting parts of the project....
1. The MC's have to choose 4 beats from both sets and lace them for next weeks submissions - therefore that leaves you with a week to submit to make the cut... (DUE: Friday 13 Mar. 2009 12pm)
*The joints that never made the cut will however make another shortlist (thats a suprise...thats why we need the vocal seperates)
*If one beat is chosen more than once (which is likely), the best flip by an MC will make the cut, and the others will be contacted to choose from another selection of beats.
*Mind you, this is not a contest, but we strive for the best MC's to come out nice on any type of beat.
2. The producers that are involved wont have to wait to hear what their counter parts cooked, but will be sent a link to all beats included.
3. Sponsorships proposals have been sent to 3 prominent companies and there is one out of three that's willing to chip in if this is successfully pulled off... so lets make them chip in... ;D
Hopefully these will be the words of encouragement and will push us to get the foot in the door for recognition of pulling off a cyber coallition!
I'm only going to be able to do two I'm afraid. They'll be good though, I promise ;D
If neither make the cut I'll do some more, but I can only deliver two tracks by deadline.

Just so everyone is clear I'll ask this publicly: you want the vocals entirely raw and unprocessed right? And do you want us to include a version over a beat as a guide, or will the producers 'produce' the track and fit the beat around the verses as they see fit?
aka raw recordings?
aka raw recordings?
Mine will be with you by tonight.
any prods in cape town can record this track for me?
@oints sup man...yo iv been tring that homy but he either off or no answer...so im hustling...i need the jack to goes onto the earphone jack that goes into the mixer lol...so as soon as it is in my hands im recording should be after work..then i will send to to spermblacktrompie guy aka the chef cooking beats for ag....

Wadup ppl?
I will like to thank again those that participated in this, I have not neglected it by not reposnding to some of yo's mail, but busy wit some personal stuff. In this regard, be a**ured that Oints will handle whatever I cant as he's also in charge, I will however be keeping tabs on this and be fully back by mid-April.
Peace!
Wadup yo'll!!!
I know yo'll been wondering where I am, well... I will be back soon anyway....just have to finish up one or two personal stuff...
I hope I will deliver as anticipated the sampler that will most likely to hit yo'll by this coming Friday...or Thursday if we complete the business in time.
I was disappointed about the number of mc submissions tho...cuz I expected a whole lot... therefore this proves to me that we have a lot of keyboard mc's on here, but I wont take the credit of those that submitted away, yo'll were dope my niccz...

Wadup???
Here's a joint that might also may uplift moral of the project...
just like any other producer on here, I submitted a beat and seeing that no MC did a flip on it, I summoned Ondaground to do a verse on...so here goes nothing...
its 1:32 AM, we are tired as a muf***er, the whole day we were mixing and mastering songs...then my Graphix designer and i had to have a sit down, a brain storming session to make sure your latest suprise hits you on schedule...
well, im proud to announce to you that....
THE SAMPLER IS ALMOST COMPLETE: in a few days it will DROP, just need to talk to Trompie bout the final track list on it...
in the meantime my people, FEAST YOUR EYES ON THE SAMPLER front COVER, our division of labour tactic has us all working against the clock to make this a memorable project for all :D :D 8)

in the meantime my people, FEAST YOUR EYES ON THE SAMPLER front COVER, our division of labour tactic has us all working against the clock to make this a memorable project for all :D :D 8)
Now ppl... U gotta admit that strings are pulled in all ways possible here... SAN has been having sleepless nights to get everything in order here and the work really speaks for itself here...
Nice one San.... ;D
now we're ready to roll out the final touches...
Cant wait... Much better album cover this time round.
Checked the cover and nice fam, will be on the "watch out" for the sampler...
um its tomorrow already >:( u see sum of us here we cant log on ka50 ka50, internet is expensive imuno muzimbabwe isnt, so san sort it out im hungry dawg!! ;D ;D
Sounds good... I'm feeling tracks 1, 2 & 3.. The beats take me back... The sample on track 2 sounds so familiar... THink J-zone may have flipped it once.. cant wait till the full thing drops.
Props to all those supporting the movement...
In no order:
San - for the hard work we been putting
All involved Mc's and producers
and all ppl that still support...
peace!!!
The mixing side of things is almost on schedule, therefore we might drop it a week behind schedule...
Lets double up!!!
guys come on, we all know this aint true that hot.....
f*** ITS HOT AS HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
heck even chuck would be back on this shit.
Yeah, what he said I said...
Don't know what these kats put into the ingredients but f*** hell yeah.
Back to official thread... Am I the only one to say, but the sampler got me hungry... Its missin something... Like the full tracks.. Not to add pressure or anything.
Oh was havin words with san bout maybe havin kats who worked on this in a certain area (jhb,pta,gtown...) Meet up at one stage, don't know about you guys but I think its a good idea, what ya'll say?

Its not a bad idea, but I always have issues in meeting guys, we end up not meeting, even if we're in the same area looking to meet up... ask J-one...happened a lot with him...
The quality really is quite incredible. I think you guys have done a fantastic job making us MCs sound fresh. And the BEATS!!!

all this anticipation is making me smoke more ciggies...more weed and sipping without breathing...i want this !!!!!....wait...did youll do youll own ish on the tracks submitted?...mine?..id like that tho?
im afraid you cats are still going to have to wait a bit longer for that one, cos we want to have everything ready before we drop the track list..we planning to do it very very big with this one, MERCH, DISTRIBUTION DEAL, the works, so Trompie and i are trying to follow all the right protocols so as not to get clowned, you know how important the suits like to seem, cats love EXCLUSIVITY!
however, by the time the track list drops, the ALBUM drops too...but the wait wont be long ma nicca, wont be long... :)
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS!!!
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS!!!
Hold yo breath ROB...hold it...dont even fart....
yo ok im a newbie in the game still teething and crawling...when this mixtape is complete and ready for the ear...how will it be advertised/hustled/promoted/....who will hear this...what can us as emcees featuring on this tape be exposed too...i need to know for myself..
Last time I checked, Pieces of Our Broken Mind was popping up on weird Japanese blogs and getting major respect. I still take my hat off to anybody that can conceive a project and see it all the way through, in a timely fashion, with high quality. So big props.

Update:
as always right around this time, i got the stats for youl...
we are currently sitting on 450 downloads...
it has been 3 days now since the album officially dropped and pardon me if i say so myself but we must have clocked some kind of record there... ;D 8)
anyhow, enough of the braggadocio, we should just be glad the music is reaching the right people :)
...more news:
the VOL 2 sampler (i know youl collected that ;)) has itself been downloaded a clean 100 times. thats good news for people who havent been sleeping, since there is material on the sampler that isnt on the album... ;)
see you later....with more UPDATES....Respect!

Dap. I'm glad people are feeling it!
Those two beats I picked...man. I'm biased but I think those are among the hottest beats on the whole damn record. Which is saying something.
Not sure about my boy Optic singing though... ;D

HOL UP rob, HOL UP, i gotta stop u right there and speak in my man's defense....
that was not Optic Nerve "singing", that was Optic Nerve in the studio at 1 oclock in the morning after a series of relentless & dedicated recordings for this tape. in the intro to the VOL 2, it was him going willy nilly and just i in particular decided to take it and make it an intro, why, cos i like what ma nigga did, i liked the fact that he was uninhibited, he was relaxed enough to do sumin like that in one take, one take...
...our aim when we made this album was to not to make it as generic as possible and not to have it constricted by "usual" ways of recording an album...if we did that, then we would have had an Lp that tasted like cardboard...
Optic Nerve is one of the most multi talented individuals i have had the pleasure of working with...
if you want to hear Optic SINGING, listen to what he did on the TRUE SIGHT MUSIC mixtape
VVVVVVVVVVVVV

Ah y'all, Just downloaded the album.
Thank you for this project. Props to Oints, Trompie and all involved in the initiative.
So far feeling:
Caught between worlds: This makes up for all the things I complained about on Super hero. Rob one, I was like, what!! Good on ya.
Murder she wrote - Such a Holstar fitting beat, you murdered it son! Now I really need to get my hands on your album, tell me how.
Watchu doin? - Sounds like some one's in love! Loving it. Can't hear everything you saying but beat and flow go really well.
Still listening, hope it just gets better and better.
Peace.
Oh mayn,
The more I listen the more and more tracks I discover.
MZU spitting effortlessly on 51 areas,
Optic Nerve, Kick start my life!
Joseph Meegar on Linguini rap,bringing the heat!
@ Oints, I'm getting there, have more time now to come up with something concrete, writing isn't the problem, I had the lines ready but need to step up confidence on the mic. Imma bug Rob One abt studio time and coaching :)
and rob, a**ist homes :)
Nearly 500 DLs? Damn. Not that I am the slightest bit surprised! Oints and co. The new Foreign Exchange.
If any Agian hasn't got on this yet, you're a f***ing idiot.
ALBUM NOW AVAILABLE ON 20/20 HIP-HOP RADIO
http://2020.mypodcast.com
"A while ago, a few guys on an otherwise obscure internet message board got together and made a beat tape. They called it Re-Invention, and it went down so well that they decided to make another.
It's called Re-Invention Vol.2, and as you may have guessed, this time it features MCs. Some dope ones, from many different countries, all rocking over crazy beats.
This album - even if I'm biased (since I'm on it myself) - rocks. It's a solid, funky-as-hell mix of great beats and sick rhymes. It's also entirely free to download. It's had over 500 DLs at the time of writing. Which is incredible, for a tape like this one."
DON'T FORGET TO DOWNLOAD THE LATEST EPISODES OF 20/20, FEATURING KYZA, THE FOREIGN BEGGARS, DRIEMANSKAP, XO, BEN SHARPA, EVIL ED, CONSPICUOUS, ETC CREW, SLAUGHTERHOUSE, LAST DAYS FAM, PLANET ASIA AND MORE...
Caught between worlds: This makes up for all the things I complained about on Super hero. Rob one, I was like, what!! Good on ya.Thats one ma**ive improvement on flow by that Canadian-sounding Jewish South-African British pa**port holder.

as for your track, i for one liked the way it was constructed and the idea behind it. it reminded me of the old skool breaks, sumin you would hear Biz Markie on, free styling on a radio station or sumin...and thats just me, i told you cats that ima have an independent review for youl from someone i respect...he also has some very interesting things to say about the project as a whole... ;)
so rest easy, just because you dont see cats talking about what you did on this record on this one HipHop forum dont mean you not shining elsewhere in the world ;)
oh oh, glad youl loving the skits and interludes too...we would like to think they added a different dimension to the album and made it more of a smoother listening.... ;)

ITS BEEN A MINUTE YOUL........BUT WE STILL HERE:
well, long story short, RE-INVENTION has become more than just a compilation project, its become a movement, one which we here at AUDIBLE BRAILE entertainment will use to not only expose our work but the works of our many affiliates here in Africa and World wide....
a while back we spoke of the constant grind to get our projects out in a world acclaimed publication, its been a hefty ride, with numerous conferences and pitch work but it is all gradually paying off..
we had mad inspiration and the much needed spur on after we made the june-july issue of the HYPE magazine with the Re-Invention VOL 1 & having over 600 downloads in less than 8 days with the Re-Invention VOl 2...
not only that, we made our presence felt as a force to be reckoned with when we first hit Blogs with the INSPIRATION: pieces of our broken mind.
this time around, we are proud to inform all interested that we are still forging ahead and the fruits of that are evident in what im about to tell you...
big ups to my man Alias ;) for the grind he put in this side of the hustle and securing us a spot in the next up and coming issue of the world renowned HipHop MAGAZINE: FIND............ ;D
proving once again that "the underground will never die, we just like roaches...."..... :D :D :D
issue THREE of FIND MAGAZINE is below:

YOUR BOYS ARE IN ISSUE FOUR................................................ ;D :D 8)
Re-invention is slowly turning into a master piece.

I decided to do a remix to Core Wreckah's joint, "Feel it". It's called Feel - Biz-ark-human's electro-monologue mountain-side remix ;D

It be the raps that keep fillin' wit flames/

Trained Monkey on the beat, deep-grill em insane/

Derange and victimise the strange undignified/
Over one thousand heard it, and they ain't livin' a lie/
Still seeking for peace man/ speaking like thieves man/
Bang on your eardrum, I'm still a Kweli fan/
Deep-seated agreed with bleep streets that heeded em/
San the Instro agreed on AG and he did 'em/

Word! sounds too dope...any interviews of the Artists involved?!!?!?! holla
Word! sounds too dope...any interviews of the Artists involved?!!?!?! holla
peace homes, yeah interviews were conducted with producers as well as emcees, but unfortunately because of the nature of the project, it being something global we couldnt reach everyone, interviews were only done with participants based in Grahamstown that were available for commentary, (i.e) myself, Alias, Refute Skillz, Es-r, SUPREMACY etc....but its very much a complete overview of what the work meant to all the people involved in it...no one person is highlighted as being the main ingredient, its in turn a celebration of everyone's participation voiced by a few that were close enough to fully comprehend it..., trust me, its very well orchestrated :)
