Re: FIRST RAP???

Like the first two songs that FIRST released back at the Boston Regional sometime back, this won't be winning a Grammy. I think that if they ever want to have a song that will be great they are going to have to hire a producer because it kind of sounds like someone made these in Garage Band (no offence).

Ideally, they are going to need to have some kid in a program graduate and go on to create a top selling record and make it big in the music industry and then come on back give FIRST an awesome song.

However, I think there might be an interim option, make it a president's circle type challenge and ask all teams that are interested to write, record and produce a song about FIRST.

Interestingly, it seems that the idea behind this similar to what they do in elementary schools in some Asian countries particularly South Korea. In South Korea internet addiction is a rising problem and to combat it the government has ramped up efforts in classrooms with education starting at the early elementary level. One of the ways they like to teach is actually through song. Anyway it is interesting to make that connection to these songs that First is trying to test on the community.

Autotune did die, sometime in the 70's...
Unfortunately, they found a cure to the disease that caused the death.

In the end, its really not that bad.

First off, try listening to it on studio monitors or a full PA or studio headphones. it sounds better.
Second, the main rap lines and how they echo out are well mixed, very similar to BEP, which many people enjoy.
Third, the choruses are pretty bad, but catchy.

The whole song is rounded around current "pop" music, which most of you guys dispise. However, I must say its well mastered and edited. Its overall a well made song, but whether you like it or not is up to you.
