There’s always been a stigma attached to gay people in the hip-hop community. But the times, they are a-changin. With people becoming more and more relaxed with the idea of gay people in our midst (mind you, they’ve ALWAYS been there), we’re seeing more of them come out. Sports figures are talking about it, musicians are talking about it, celebrities have been talking about it. But what about the rappers? There’s always been rumors of gay rappers. In fact, almost every rapper that’s achieved any kind of success, has been accused of homosexuality. But what about the future? Given the […]
Amongst the Satyrs
Amongst the Satyrs This rap music track started as an impromptu text freestyle on Facebook last year – It came after a long time of me not writing anything new and I was a little surprised by it. The rhyme scheme and patterns were not typical of me, most notably repeated rhymes (something I always hated!). But I found that this style is what came out of me naturally…I suppose I’ve changed. I like this track because of the way it’s worded. The style of it has carried over to everything I’ve written since. As usual, I can’t really speak […]
SB Retro: Vagrant Story – PlaceWhereYouDie
Vagrant Story (Place Where You Die) SB Retro: Vagrant Story (PlaceWhereYouDie) by SilencioBarnes Rap and Hip Hop Music by SilencioBarnes – unsorted and various About Vagrant Story (Place Where You Die) Yup, another old retro track. Vagrant Story is yet another song about the hood…more or less 🙂 As far as any of my rap music goes, you can tell this one is old just by the language I use. I recorded to the beat of the Money, Cash, Hoes song by Jay-Z (featuring DMX and produced by Swizz Beats) from his Hard Knock Life album. The title comes from an […]
SB Retro: Spit Bombs
SB Retro: Spit Bombs About the Song “Spit Bombs” Spit Bombs is just a really old track I did back in the day. For some reason, to this day, many still consider it some of my best stuff despite it only really being something of a freestyle. Many will recognize the beat from Missy’s Hot Boyz remix featuring Nas (Eve and Q-Tip too). As far as my rap music goes, I do think the lyrics of this track are a good example of just what my style was about at the time. Lyrics to “Spit Bombs” Every time I speak on, […]
Child of Kings
Child of Kings by SilencioBarnes Just a quickie 🙂 Lyrics, alternative downloads, the acappella and more info on the track itself can be found here: http://silenciobarnes.com/music/child-of-kings/ About “Child of Kings” Child of Kings is actually the last track I finished for my Track Every Other Day Challenge – It’s a short and quick rap song like the others in that series. It uses a Three-Six Mafia beat I found in one of these instrumental collections. It’s one song that I was actually really proud of…why? I dunno, but I sure as hell like playing it. Maybe you will too. Lyrics […]
Been Spittin
So, I was getting ready to try recording some new rap music for the first time in like…half a year. Just wanted to do a quick track to see how it sounds in this new room…but then it dawned on me that I never posted the last coupla tracks I did several months ago. So I figured I’d post those first before testing my equipment. This first one is called “Been Spittin” and the next one, which I will put into a separate post, is called “Child of Kings” – Both of these tracks have been in my reverbnation playlist, […]
Car Windows – Track Challenge 04
This is the fourth track of my “A Track Every Other Day Challenge” -It was due last night and I actually finished it in time somewhat, just didn’t get a chance to post it here till today – It’s a little bit of rap music called “Car Windows.” And I admit that it came out a bit sloppy and slurred, I was rushing…and drinking, but as I keep telling you, don’t take these tracks too seriously. These are just practice words. Next track is due by midnight this saturday More Music by SilencioBarnes More Track Challenge Tracks
So Me
So Me by SilencioBarnes (Produced by Big B) Ask my little cousins and my grandmama…I was saying “I’m Me” waaaaaay before you heard it from Lil Weezy:)) I recorded this a while ago, but I didn’t want to post it because there were so many artifacts in the recording…a LOT of em (pops, clicks, stutters, static, etc) – I wanted to re-record it but never got around to it. Big B already did the remix using the bad audio and everything. I’d forgotten about it and then saw it on my PC, and figured fuck it, might as well post it as […]
