Gangsta city now, Jay Bee? – Rap/Hip Hop Cancelled

I have tried it for so many times but have failed. There are two main reasons:

a) Rappin requires some kinda attitude in order to get the right tone. It is too fast for me because normally I don’t speak as fast as those young people rap. I’m not sure how do they manage to rap those words that fast.

b) I failed to get the right mood because I always forget the lyric. The length is not the problem but since rapping is not really melodic, with the non-melodic in rapping, it is difficult to memorize the words. Usually, it is easier to memorize the lyric when words have their own melodies. I tried to rap sentence by sentence and later on cut and paste to own measure but this technique killed the tone badly. The attitudes are not there and it sound so not honest.

I am sure now that rapping is something I cannot do. Since the vocal recording has failed, Samsara is not getting any singing samples for her to rap too.

‘Gangsta city now, Jay Bee?’ shall be accompanied by an instrumental fusion between rap/hip hop and rock sound. There shall be no poem reading and singing ... just music.
