It's me, jegasus

Hi everyone, this is my first weekly beats submission ever! I made this track entirely on the M8. I made the main parts of the beat a few days ago and competed them today on a plane ride. Then I noticed I could turn it into a little boom-bap rap and have some fun with it, so I wrote some really crappy lyrics and recorded them on my cell phone and then onto the M8.

Yes, I know I can't rap. It just felt like it would be funny and I honestly ended up cracking myself up quite a bit with this one.

Anyways, I hope y'all will enjoy! I'll likely post the M8 bundle to this in the Dirtywave discord group within the next week.

Cheers!!!!

Welcome to Weekly Beats!  I really like the sense of fun here.  Loved that you included the laugh at the end.  The happy fun vibes are contagious.

LOL! Sick flow right there. Also I'm picturing you rapping on your phone on the plane ride big_smile

HAHAHAHAHA... Thanks y'all, you are too kind... It's weird that I can feel both embarrassed and also proud at the same time of this song, hahahahaha...

And yes, I was writing down my lyrics on my phone and mumbling through them to see if they fit the metric of the song during my plane ride, hahahahaha... Thankfully I don't think I bothered any of my seat neighbors.

Let's see if more crappy raps will come out in other weeks! STAY TUNED!!!!

The intro got me thinking about Metroid Prime right away.

BTW I started rapping as a joke and then kept practicing and it got interesting... you should push this more, try a slower beat, take your time, feel it... go go go

It's you, jegasus―welcome to WeeklyBeats!  It's great to see you here.  The whistle motif is fantastic (and I'm going to spend a little time trying to figure out how to reproduce it).  And it might sound weird, but the flow of the rap sometimes reminds me a little of MC Hawking

It's a strong start to the year―I'll follow your next 51 with interest tongue

roll with it, you can rap!

Oh dang, you're totally right, it super sounds like the lead from Metroid Prime!!! Hahahahaha... Thanks for the kind words of motivation heart

Thank you so much!! That's really kind of you to say smile I'll post the bundle to the discord soon, but it's just a slight variation of the theremin preset in mikey303's rave pack! Also I don't know who MC Hawking is, but I'm googlong this as soon as I send this message smile

Oh, you are way too kind, even though it's painfully obvious I cannot!!! Hahahaha... But guess what? But don't worry, my self awareness doesn't mean I'm stopping. No no no, instead I've actually got more lined up for the next submission!!! Wooohoooo!!!

my laptop started making gang signs and saying "frick" a lot

I'm very aware that I emanate a strong "white middle class kid who liked Eminem but wasn't allowed to curse at home" vibe, hahahahaha...
