Dopetracks is really cool stuff. I am going to for sure be working with this. Basically you can upload beats or you can rap to them. There is social voting involved and also you can battle people… sweeeet.

Check out my rap in the video above and make your own on dopetracks.com

Yes, haha this is perfect. I have a friend that has been making beats, and wanting to meet other producers and vocalists. They have a sweet website too.

Yah….I’m white and I dont have a shaved head so that kinda eliminates me from being a good rapper.

I haven’t checked yet, but I know at least 2 sites where people battle each other for example.
Beatbox battles, Rap battles etc..
There is even a software that allow people to play together from internet (don’t ask me how they solve the latency issue , though)

Well actually maurizio, there is also aznraps.com that has been around a long time for rap battles especially for asian people.

Nice site. Good idea, whenever I see things like this I think “why couldn’t I think of that”. I think it will be pretty huge, but copyright might become a problem like with YouTube.

That was interesting, and something I wouldn’t have normally seen. Keep the hits coming Shoe.

Thats a pretty cool site. It’s not bad just for listening to beats without vocals as well.

I have no musical talent or rythm. None. Zip.

An ex-girlfriend of mine went to high school with him in Carrollton, wonder if people see you as such a success now and say, hey, I went to school with the Shoemoney!

The guys were really fun, and the product was hysterical. I really hope to see this grow, there needs to be more interactive stuff to do online if your not into video games or porn.
