Describe your first rap album
« on: May 04, 2006, 01:13:26 PM »
Title says it all.  Say you were actually in the rap game and you've just received a label deal to put out your debut album.  You were told you had complete artistic control (which no label would ever give you, I realize) and you could hire any producers, guests, etc. you wanted.  What would the album sound like?

Following this template for your answer (it's based on All Music Guide's album classification format):

ALBUM TITLE: What's the album's title?
LABEL: What label would you use to release the album? (would it be a major label, indie label, etc.?)
STYLES: What styles of hip-hop does the album conform to? (is it Gangsta Rap, West Coast Rap, East Coast Rap, Political Rap, etc...you can put down all that apply)
PRODUCERS: Who would handle the production on the album?
MUSICAL INFLUENCES: Who are some artists whose stlyes influenced the sound of your album?
TRACKLISTING: Make a tentative list of songs with guest features and producer credits.

Here's mine:

ALBUM TITLE: Tha Thug Revelations (1st Chapter)

I wouldn't make a rap album at all....I would make a punk album (something along the lines of bad religion, rise against, the matches, or maybe even something zebrahead like)

my goal within the next 5 years is to have a band, a full album in the making, and an EP out produced by my buddy philip and recorded in his basement (he has a home studio...its a little primitive and raw but shit sounds good)
