after all this time. lol

Y'all do NOT want to see me on this. Considering I been sitting on one of Nic's beats and already got the song laid out?

Give up now, yo. F'real.

Waldorf and Statler Vol 4:CONAN IS OUT NOW!!!: http://waldorfandstatler.bandcamp.com

and don't forget to check "DVS 4 ALDERMAN"

http://windimoto.bandcamp.com/album/dvs-4-alderman-bandcamp-exclusive-expanded-editio

Just cuzz its laid out doesn't mean its gonna fit over any beat! You better go back and re-work your rhymes cuzz i'm not playin at all.

Curious. When I first got put on to Nicolay (before Foreign Exchange) about a few years ago, 'Nic's Groove' was the one joint that moved me out of all of the stuff on his sight. I even emailed him about putting some vocals to it. Never got a responce but that was my ignorance, y'know.

BUT...

I guess here comes my chance...

..PULL!!!!

Hahahah!

if you are in a group or something, could you have more than one cat on the track?

cuz I would love just to take a whole track to the dome, but if I'm gonna get a NOw Hear This spot, I'd rather promote my group who has an album and everything, rather than me as an individual, although I have a lot of solo and collab work, it ain't polished like the album.

yep

i don't see anything wrong with getting some others on the track...we just need one person to send the stuff to.

This is incredible stuff from Okp. I love this place.

peace.

I've written the lyrics and the melody and hooks are all set

But I can't download the tracks

HELP PLEASE SOMEBODY

I dunno if its because i'm using a mac or what

I can get a stream of the audio but i can't actually get the file

I can e-mail them to you if you want. PM me your e-mail addy.

yo should be using those two tracks on the site, or can we choose any beat on the album?

I'm having the same problem. can u email raw life 2 bsalaam@hotmail.com?

i sent it to you

...and then select "Save Link As.."

That should do the trick. Any problems?

I'm a mac user

The Mac mouse has no right and left button

someone mail me it plz

dblake_@hotmail.com

ctrl+click = right click

that should bring up a menu - choose the "download link as" option.

sorry, i assume too much.

...you're perfectly right. It's a strange OKP-phenomenon: mac-cats that don't know how to do something question their system.

Peace,

Say Word.

(I'm posting again just to see if we can draw attention to this portion of the thread.)

Any word on the problem being fixed? I want to send my joint!

skip started a thread that addressed the issue and Dan wrote back that they are getting the e-mails. I don't think that they know why we're getting that message though.

I think it'd be cool if you posted up a list of the people who's tracks you recieved....this way we can all be sure they went through.

Peace to Okayplayer and everyone who entered.

just so I can possibly be exempt from NOT gettin the song in on time (I too am receiving the same problem ey-one's having)

I was getting the same over quota message like eveyone else was getting ... I was trying to send the email with my track as an attachement. Then i tried sending it as a link and the email went through ... I think ...???? well, @ least i havent gotten a bounce back for their email account for being over quota ...

Like someone said ... putting up a list to confirmed entries would be a good idea ... especially in light of the "over quota" inboxes ... or replying with confirmation that the entry was recieved ...

I just started building with Ab-Rock and I've known J Soul for a minute. They told me they put a joint in. I think that joint they submitted is crazy. They could have easily took it home if you ask me.
I know J can sing but he really put something special on that one.
