Then why all the fuss over uploading it somewhere? I swear to god, if this is viral marketing, I'll be hella pissed. Trust me, it's not at all. As I said previously in this thread it's the opposite. To explain further - it's mostly my anxiety that prevents me from doing anything regarding my music. And while I don't mind random nobodies listening to my music and hating it, I'd rather not have people on a forum I'm active on gang up on me and start making fun of my music and whatnot. And the other big reason, apart from my own insecurities regarding my music, is the lyrical content. Most of my music is either horrorcore type stuff, or depressing miserable stuff about how my life is meaningless with a lot of overtones/undertones of suicidal thoughts...and then there's the horrorcore stuff with satanic stuff in it. I'm not a Satanist, but some of my horrorcore songs are of the 'devil shyt' subgenre (it's a thing, look it up) and I don't want people to get the right idea or be offended. I mean, all my horrorcore songs are complete make believe, my songs about how I feel worthless and like live isn't worth living are somewhat more 'real', but in the end, I still don't want people to get the wrong idea and end up offended or anything. And finally, as I said from the start of this thread, I don't like bringing attention to myself in any way shape or form, and that goes for my music as well. I could go into even more detail than I already have about it, but I'll leave it there for now. I seriously doubt anyone here's gonna give you shit. Heck, we've got dudes like chazraps who have experience with this kind of stuff who could give you pointers and tips. And if anyone does give you shit, they'll get slapped down quickly, what with how invested Clash, Never a Meter Maid & Mister Pigwell are in this whole shebang.

I think we know how to differentiate how people express themselves in a performance medium and in real life. We don't think The Undertaker is an actual zombie How long have you been here? When have you ever seen this forum gang up on a member for some art that they've created. This is one of the safest places to express yourself. Please, post the link.

I understand the anxiety issues, I can have it happen to me too- and anyone else on FAN understands that issue and worry about people making fun of it. I'm just going to say- if you're worried about people ganging up on you and making fun of your music and whatnot...well, just from how the thread's gone in the last few updates, it looks like more people are going after you for *NOT* putting up a link to your music than they ever would if you put up the mix tape. Indeed, with most of the people here, we'd respect you more and genuinely give you pointers if you did.

Shaolin you should auction off the right to hear your mixtape like Wu-Tang did with that album they only made one copy of, the FAN Universe is desperate to hear it so you might make some big bucks

Yeah, I am all for that. We might as well post our own stuff. Here are my two newest songs. youtu.be/is6zCzCXfmEyoutu.be/gCckzbeVw9IHaven't gotten around to uploading them to Bandcamp yet because they're part of a new album that I don't have a name for, art for, or anything, and I prefer to get it all uploaded there at once.

I like the posts in this thread where people are posting music. You should totally free style an encouraging message to Shaolin to hook up that link.

Fine. Since I've basically been bullied into it, here's a link. soundcloud.com/user-268105309/setsAs of now, only two of the four mixtapes I've currently uploaded are public, and the only reason they're public is because they've been released elsewhere before (although the previous uploads elsewhere aren't the final mixes, these Soundcloud ones are.) Just remember that I'm a talentless idiot before abusing and attacking me and telling me that I'm worthless and terrible and whatnot. Please don't make me regret posting the link here. Also, please don't be offended by any of the lyrics either. And since I've done that, I guess I'll ask this...I have quite a few unfinished horrorcore style songs which need second verses, if anyone on this forum does horrorcore style rap and is willing to add extra verses, I'll make a 'Halloween 2015' mixtape out of the finished songs. Not that I expect anything, but I thought I'd ask. I'm going to go to bed now. I probably won't sleep well thanks to the anxiety of posting the link here.

Awesome news! Soon as I get my son out of the shower I'll head to my PC so I can hear these. Sorry you feel bullied though, I think we all just really wanted to encourage you to share your art man.

You're not bad at all. A bit low key, but you've got some good flow.
I don't hear what's there to be ashamed of. You've got talent, embrace it and be proud of it.

I honestly don't think you feel your music sucks. Nobody goes through the trouble of recording and uploading a work of art if you didn't think somebody out there will enjoy it.
I don't mean to be mean spirited but it will anyways but you do have some psychological issues. Not like that's awful or anything but your psyche seems to be very protective of you. Putting out the cliche this is awful speech just to try to get some lower expectations of your work.
That is something 98% of people do and it's because people don't want to get hurt. But what's life if you don't open yourself to get hurt once in a while know?

I think your music's pretty good. If there's one bit of constructive criticism I could offer, it's to maybe try varying up your sound a bit for each song. I know that you're probably going for a consistent sound and that's great, but you wouldn't want the entire mixtape to exactly the same (not saying it does, but still). Otherwise, I like it.

It needs a little fine tuning, but it was pretty good. Don't feel so down on yourself man.

Interesting sound. It's sorta like if dudes from the early Norwegian black metal scene traded their guitars and Bathory albums for early Three 6 Mafia tapes and decided to start rapping.
Also Jesus Christ everybody is not out to get you, my man, what happened to make you so paranoid? As a great philosopher once said 'You got some issues Shao I think you need some counsellin, to help your ass from bouncin off the walls when you get down some.'
