*furiously taps sarcasm meter*

I can't tell if it's broke.

You got to give it to him, his rap is terrible but he knows how to delivery it and has great beats too boot. Plus, he isn't bad looking at all. If he cut off his hair and got rid of that stupid beard art on his face, he'd be pretty fine lookin.

Ok, I couldn't listen to the song until now. I thought it would be bad but I didn't think it would be THAT bad. No way he could think this was good.......

It really does make the song go from just trash, to an epic piece of trash.

My nephew is a bit of a problem child. He had a rough upbringing (being the result of his dad cheating while married, brought into the dad's house, being treated like the red-headed stepchild by his siblings, etc). As a result he's spent his entire life trying to stand out and be noticed...mostly trying to prove that he's better than everyone.

Because of this, I've cut him some slack. I've mentored him, looked the other way when he did bad things (to which there is a lot), praised him when he did good things, and even taught him how to play guitar. He's one of those people that has natural rhythm and can pick up a lot of instruments easily.

The problem is, he doesn't like structure and he just dives into things. You can't play along with him on guitar because he can't keep time. Same with drums. He can play keyboards but has no idea which notes are where. He just does his own thing because it's easier.

Recently he hooked up with some hiphop punks on a bad side of town, and they started recording what they call "music". My nephew got a hold of a pad, made some beats, and now he thinks he's ready to go pro. He's on Facebook everyday now saying how he's looking for a record deal, how he's quitting his job so he can focus on recording, and how music is his future. To top it off, he's got two babies due in a couple of weeks by two different mothers (as I said, he's a piece of work).

I listened to some of his stuff, and all I could think about was this clip on Friends: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuBJLTdr_pQ

It was that bad. I don't want to crush the kid's dreams, but wow...he needs a wakeup call. I'm not the one to do it, but it's difficult just watching his family standing there while he self destructs.

I'm sorry but I find it kind of funny that the OP is worried about his nephew pursuing a fruitless music career while pointing out the above lol

i went ahead and submitted that track to our local radio station to see if i can get him some air time. hell, if rebecca black can make it, why not your nephew?












just kidding. its horrible man.


Wait, he totally should make a music video. A bit of autotune here and there and it will fix up that track real good. He'll sound like a GPS, but if Rebeka Black made it big, why can't he?

I'm concerned he wants to quit his job instead of work and support them.

put in some "hey"s, get shot like 10+ times, and boom millionaire.

He's got a bunch of stuff on Soundcloud, but I don't want to point him out, so here's an MP3 of a sample: Ugghhhh

...


Huh. Well then.....

It may be even more troubling that he's actually ok with other people knowing that he'd done something like that.
You also don't tell the world that you threw a kitten in a microwave just to see what would happen, or that you enjoy rubbing LessThanDan's artwork all over your bacon-grease-soaked chest. :sneaky: The world is sometimes better off not knowing certain things.

That's his personality though. He'd be proud we were all talking about this instead of hearing "don't ever do this again".

Indeed. That's why I keep that a secret.
