[lastsound]

Hey,
Just started up our own international beats website for hiphop/rnb lovers everywhere. But getting increasingly angry about the US overshadowing genuine british talent. Can ne1 out there give me hope for the future of young british hiphop talent???
Let me know

Cheers, lastsound

I am still looking for a British rapper to collaborate with. Instead of e-mailing me for the details, I have included all of the information here so any enthusiasts can start recording straight away. Should you record to the song, please send the file to my e-mail address popstardom777@hotmail.com for my listening and approval. I am not a picky person, so keep that in mind if you are considering giving this a go. I would also like to mention that my function as an artist is not primarlely rap, so also keep that in mind before you dub me as a rap god.

If you have trouble downloading this song, please tell me and I will send you the file via e-mail. Normally, just follow the instructions to get the download and you will be able to download The Rap Song. It is about 3 MB in size. I have also included the lyrics at the bottom of this post. Record your rapping over this WMA file. Return the song with your vocals in any format, but WAV is preferred. I also have a very high quality version of The Rap Song (40 MB) which is available upon request.

The main two parts that need rapping are after the third chorus (there are just instruments playing) and after the last chorus to the fade (this part is the instrumental again). Those spaces were left specifically open for an artist like you to fill in. Sing during the choruses if you like. Take as much artist freedom as you want, and keep it tasteful.

My message in The Rap Song recognizes the vanity and materialism seen all too often in American hip-hop: The new prince of pop I’ve been crowned, in my Porsche I like to drive around town -- This is the rap song, a three-minutes and thirty three seconds long. I especially prefer someone who understands my message. I record all sorts of songs using a mixture of popular styles. Here are a couple of samples of songs I have recorded:

Again, if you can't download, ask me and I will send you the samples via e-mail.

I wrote recorded this song over a year ago, and I have been looking for a British rapper to compliment The Rap Song ever since, although I started intensely searching over the past few months. I will know you are serious about collaborating with me when I receive your recording.

The Rap Song

-J Mars-TBA-

Check it, I’m what you call a modern-day dean
Been making money since I was seventeen
If you know what I mean, cha-ching
Consider me your personal sex-machine

The new prince of pop I’ve been crowned
In my Porsche I like to drive around
town
I’ve been producing the finest new sound
Before all you posers have been around

CHORUS:
This is the rap song
Not too short
And not too long
A three minutes
And thirty-three seconds long
The rap song

The fairytale that money can’t buy happiness
Ain’t got me in any kind of distress
Too much cash I have, I madly must confess
Since the record company thinks that I’m the best

Gotta get the money, them seven digit checks
My vibe playing in a million iPods and CD decks
Tuned to perfection by engineers and techs
Getting paid to show up to my own sound
checks

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE

YOUR RAP HERE (TBA)

REPEAT CHORUS

YOUR RAP HERE (TBA)
