Show HN: A rap song about the struggles of finishing a side project

35 pointsby stdoutrapabout 6 years ago
Song url: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=_2GT2PCUN3Q<p>Quick background on the project: I&#x27;m a full time programmer and I love making rap music. I see a lot of humor in the profession&#x2F;industry, and thought it would be fun to combine the two.<p>I&#x27;m always open to feedback on audio quality&#x2F;topic ideas&#x2F;ways to get more exposure&#x2F;etc! I am also open to collaboration with beat makers&#x2F;videographers&#x2F;producers!

Some feedback that I hope is constructive: Once you have your lyrics, refactor them! For example<p>&quot;They&#x27;ll talk about me like one of the greats &#x2F; I&#x27;ll be chilling with Bezos and Bill Gates&quot;<p>could be improved (IMO) to:<p>&quot;They&#x27;ll buzz about me like one of the greats &#x2F; I&#x27;ll be chilling with Jeff B. and B. Gates&quot;<p>Introduces wordplay (bees buzz) and internal rhyme (&quot;me&quot; rhymes with &quot;[Jeff] B.&quot;) You can usually make these kinds of edits without too much restructuring.<p>Then, you might replace &quot;chilling&quot; with &quot;drinking&quot; to get a triple entendre since drinking causes a buzz.<p>Or maybe better, you say &quot;sipping java with Jeff B. and B. Gates&quot; because coffee also gives you a buzz, and you get some wordplay out of &quot;java&quot; (although maybe you don&#x27;t want to!)

Dude, I&#x27;m glad, at least you are finally shipping songs while I&#x27;m still stuck in creating and deleting repos loop. I hate all of my half-ass apps enough for me to delete them

Great stuff!<p>Not affiliated, but my brother uses this to get distribution for his music for free, pretty sure Will.i.am is a cofounder - Amuse (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;amuse.io&#x2F;free-music-distribution" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;amuse.io&#x2F;free-music-distribution</a>).

Looks like the url isn&#x27;t clickable (in similarly formatted previous posts, it has been...)<p>Clickable url: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=_2GT2PCUN3Q" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=_2GT2PCUN3Q</a>

Pivot and turn into a rapper instead and then chill with Jeff B. and B. Gates

I love your music! Hell.js is probably my favorite. Hope you can get on spotify soon.
