Check out this atheist rap artist.

The sound of a banjo gives me a negative reaction, but so the fuck what. Just say you don't like it. There are plenty of things I don't like.

You just haven't heard the banjo played right.




The only music I listen to is THE DEVIL'S MUSIC.

Fml. I'm sure they're talented, but noooo. Just no. I made it to 36 seconds. Then my ears committed suicide.

You're missing out on the unfiltered shit if your prime source is the radio.

Then call me a moron cause I don't mind that the rap that I like can be played on the radio.

I didn't mean it like that. What I meant was expand your horizons. Whatever your tastes are, you can find something more suitable to your pallet.

Hi all,

I'm the feller who made the song the OP posted. I was directed here by a YouTube user. I appreciate the critiques but I'd like to clarify a few things.

I'm by no means a professional musician nor do I aspire to be. I'm a software engineer and SQL database developer by trade. My "music" experience is limited to the fact that I DJed in the 90's... before mainstream bubblegum cornball pop rap took over and ruined it all. Ironically, I also despise rap for what it's become, so I share the sentiment of some of the statements above.

I made this song as a rebuttal to a christian rapper (G MAN), who's a regular guest on the Drunken Peasants podcast. I started writing it when I heard his first... attempt. I wanted to send it to TJ (The Amazing Atheist) to maybe play on his channel against G MAN... for fun. As the song progressed I decided to make it more general and removed his name from the lyrics. It evolved to a point where I thought hey I can make a complete song out of this.

I made the beat with an old Yamaha keyboard and dusted off my old equipment to put it all together. I Googled how to compress/normalize/reduce noise from the vocals and worked arduously on the lyrics. I did my best to make it sound as good as I can with my crude methods. I mixed it using video editing software for crap's sake! Considering all things, I don't think it turned out too terrible.

Not everyone likes rap and I realize that these forums aren't exactly hip hop friendly... but as a community of non-believers, we should support and encourage any endeavor that advocates freethought and rational thinking... whatever the medium. I would think that my peers (you all), would at the very least appreciate the content for that reason.

Thanks for giving it a try anyway, and I do appreciate criticism. If I ever get inspired to throw together another one of these I'll definitely consider this feedback.

That is all. Thank you. May the sauce be with you

Why not? Some of us are really open-minded to new music.


Nice first effort, darlin'. Welcome to the forum, and keep on keepin' on! Getting sound right is an effing pain in the ass, but once it's right, it's right.
