Post Graal Affiliation (Graal Mixtape)

Graal Affiliation: Official News thread


I figured instead of posting in the Day'n'Night thread, I'd just make an official one. I'll post updates on the mixtape's progress here.

If you've been paying attention to our YouTube channel (which I'm really unsure if I'm allowed to link), you'll know that two days ago I released a track called "Silly Willy". If you're interested in the channel, just search Graal Affiliation on YouTube.

On that note, tonight I released a track called " They Call Me "Sushi Poo" "

The following artists are planned to feature on the mixtape (open for interested artists to get on):
  • Streety
  • Jay Diggs
  • TeXaZ
  • The AfterMath

Currently in the "studio":
  • Streety
  • Jay Diggs

Pending for "interview":
  • Sizzle
  • Infamous Convoy

PM/reply if you have any questions.

Major props to Streety, he really blew everything else out of the water.

He had a huge impact and got his point across very well in this new track.
I advise anyone that hasn't heard it, and likes Hip-Hop and/or his music, to go check it out as soon as possible.

Just go to youtube, and search "Graal Affiliation".

The track isn't as good as the others, it feels too tame and produced.

Sorry, I forgot you like cell phone recorded, low quality tracks more.

I'll ask Streety if he can sound like a crackhead with down syndrome on his next track, like Era's artists.

And please elaborate when you say too tame and produced.

Why are you using racial slurs in your tracks?

Because unless they're specifically directed at somebody, with the intent to cause offense to that person's specific sensibilities, they're just words.

eg. Normally calling a skinny person fat would not be offensive and they would shrug it off. But if that person has body image issues and/or an eating disorder and you call them fat, then you're targeting them and suddenly the word that wasn't offensive before is now offensive.

Also MTV doesn't bleep it out in songs so it must be ok!

quit being a suckup.

Technically Sizzle blew everyone out of the water, but he has a ****ty recording device (aka cellphone) so it doesnt sound as good. But lyrically Sizzle won.

streetys new song is pimp though, he better hide from the mix me and rainbow are doing, because its gonna rock him

Using racial slurs in general is inappropriate, especially in a video that's being directed to a Graalian audience. I can't really tell if he's saying "yeah ******" to just everyone listening to the song or is directing it to Era players - a server that happens to have a lot of black players (or players that pretend to be black). Either way it's inappropriate, especially if it's the latter case.

Songs on MTV attract a particular audience that are okay with hearing that kind of language; language that people typically don't use in public for a reason...

As the Manager of a server he's putting himself in a bad light by releasing profane songs at an entire server's population and two globals in particular apparently aren't very happy with the way he's handling this.
