When The Rapper Can't Rap, What To Do? 

yo!! thanks for the shout out! I had no idea you knew who I was! Just for a bit of context: I only did the Mixing and Mastering on this song, I never do any of the recording or producing on Tom's stuff (they're down in LA while I'm up in Vancouver Canada). Ben recorded this on his own (or maybe recorded it with Tom? not sure) and they sent me the multitrack for mixing. I appreciate the praise about the mixing (Effects and layering), you were spot your breakdown on with Ben's vocal processing! I even added a -12 octave down under his verse to thicken his voice a bit more. Awesome feedback about the nudging for the back half of his verse, I definitely could've nudged his performance to make it a bit less robotic in mixing. Always love your videos man!

i love the intro hauhahuahuahhaha

intro be like "brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" 😁

Great explanation! Really enjoyed this video!

Matt you really are my hero

I like how you're ACTUALLY analyzing the flow and lyrics.. Edit: ....Bro, I spoke too soon! It's SO much more than that! It's like goin' to fuckin' music school!! lol Respect.

I appreciate the bit about consistency in getting the best "performance" via punching in rather than a few large chunks or one take.

Great analysis!

Hope you are back to full health soon. This video is instructive I guess it is a case of "when life gives you lemons". I don't think I will be searching out the full track! Heroes on stamps?

He was planning to rap for some time 😂 have to listen to the full song…Im curious…yeah…lack of flow…

first comment

*Promo sm* ☺️

Is this real?

That song is very hard to listen to because he can't rap.

It’s supposed to be funny.

Cringe but awesome troll!

I agree there is a lot you can do to make it sound like you can rap. I recorded these vocals this week and I suck. I didn't even open my mouth. Just tricks and audio wizardry I learned from Matt Weiss. ru-vid.com/group/PLs-0lfl93NrJCQXERUNfhJue12FequuKz&si=TeTg7s_9CyOH5_mX
