I have a confession to make and industry secret to reveal

My NDA expired for some of my earliest work so I think its safe to reveal now.

For the last 15 years I have worked as a rap/hip hop sound effects guy.

For almost every hit single when you here a "hey" or a machine gun sound effect or lil wayne laugh, they bring me in to record those.

I cannot tell you that I might do all the noises on the migo records or that the guys that like megan stallions loughie hacking sound might be gay because a man possibly named elterrible recorded it. Those would be too new. and under NDA.

I can tell you that lil john did all his own sound effects, hes one of the legit ones.

My predecessor and mentor did the Master P sound effects, met him in a bar doing spot on "uggghhhh" impressions and was like man those sound just like the records, and he let me in on a secret and I said hey i can do those real good too, so he offered me an audition and the rest is history.

I can reveal Tekashi 69 also does his own, some guys have the natural talent for it.

Im very weary of doing N word sound effects, sometimes they beg me though because they need a good sound effects guy. Drake was begging me, he assured me it was ok, so I made him clear the studio with just the producer and all cell phones confiscated so theres no video of it, he made a good point I know his ghost writer so its like we have each others secrets.

Correct but that's mainly cause my singing/rapping voice ranges anywhere from almost passable to injured badger

I just know the chords not a full classical fingerstyle conversion. It's just a standard 5 chord song with standard open chords. The hardest part about it is that is has kind of a shuffle strum with fast chord changes but soft strumming like most piano songs. The strumming has a similar feel to Walking in Memphis if you know that one

My voice is trash too. Haha

Try up strumming on the main beats. Don't start the rhythm with a downstroke
Just like a lady

Now that I think about it there's only one song I know off the top of my head that I always start the strumming on an upstroke. Usually when I'm playing a bluesy or hip hop song I use palm muting where the snare comes in to try and give it the right feel

Try using your e string as a mute after your up strums. It's the off beat and the bass on that part in the measure that gives it that so called "swing" feel
