Title: My video (filmed at Velvet Lounge)
Post by: Ardamus on January 08, 2011, 09:31:46 am
Its okay if I post this, right? Last time I posted something I got blasted by the board for spamming on here and I don't want that. LOL. Just promoting a video I shot at Velvet Lounge. Let me know what you think.

very . . . very impressed!   ;D

i usually don't respond well to hiphoprap music, but your voice is great and natural smooth.  i've never understood the obsession with hoods though.  i only wear them when it very cold outside.

stardom, here you come.   :D

LOL. We'll see. I'm just an honest dude trying to make some good music. Nothing more. Nothing less.

That was cool.  And your post is not a thinly disguised effort to pimp a for-profit blog so I don't see how it could be considered spamming.

Walkie, it's been cold outside for a couple of months now.  :D

I forgot which mod it was but apparently someone took issue with the fact that I posted some promo stuff on here for shows I had. I did it because I thought it was ok when I saw maybe like one or two other posters do it consistently like every other day on here. It got blown out of proportion and I ended just posting my stuff in other threads so I wouldn't get in trouble. But other folks got to post their shows in separate threads a lot. Thats part of the reason why I said it. Nothing bad.....just wanted to put that out there.

On top of that, that Julie dude who posted here was trying to get funny; but ended up getting banned so, it is what it is.

suggestion: start your own thread and post your stuff there.  i believe that the mods don't want this board to become a spamming ground with a thousand different threads about 1 show each.  so get around that by starting a vanity thread of your own :)

Thanks everyone for your feedback. It definitely means a lot. I'm humble and getting old so, LOL, you just made this old black man's day by checking out the video and digging it.

Is that The Director?

Who? My homie, Piff Tannen (a play on Biff Tannen from Back To The Future), directed the video.

Who are the one or two posters that were consistently posting spam every other day?

It was brought up in that other thread I mentioned. I forgot who the mod was but they said they let post up shows because of the work they do with that DJ. I'll find that thread.

LOL at vanity. I'm not trying to be vain at all. I'm just trying to spread the word of my music because I simply can't afford an online marketing machine that most acts on major labels or even indie labels have to back them. I'll use this same thread for some of the stuff I have coming up. I understand not spamming the boards and I respect that. When that happened, people jumped on my back and I was like "ok......my fault". Besides, I like this board. I know I'm probably the lone poster who's in the hip hop scene heavy thats on here, I like reading some of the stuff on here.

Yeah, we're going to shoot another one soon. We got some ideas that I can speak on yet but you will see.

a "vanity thread" is sorta like a vanity license plate.  "things smackie thinks you ought to know" is vansmack's vanity thread.  "kosmo's flog" is kosmo's vanity thread, etc.  i certainly wasn't implying that you were being vain :)

I'll use this same thread for some of the stuff I have coming up.

personally, i'd start a new thread with a slightly catchier subject than "my video (filmed at the VL)" - you know, something with your name in it, or a reference to hip hop, or whatever - but your call ;D

Probably should've titled it "Booty Butt Naked Biyatches In A Rap Video Down The Street From Where You Live" but I think that would've not been a good thing to do.

Haha, let me find out we got some Odd Future fans on here.

Ardamus, you know what I think is just as good as your video? That the people on this forum have finally taken to you and are even embracing you. That makes me happy. See, you've proven that you are an asset to our quirky little group of miscreants.  ;)  8)

LOL. I understood the board when I got on here. I spoke too soon about a few things and people let me know whats up. Had Julie (aka Julian) trying to be funny but you know....he got his so thats whatever now. Plus, I get info. on things I never knew about in the city so, I have respect for the site. Thanks everyone.

Show was pretty damn good. Playing a sold out show and having people under your control on stage was a great feeling. Das Racist and Fat Tony were cool as hell, too. Das Racist made some obscure hip hop references that maybe me and my friends got but most of the people there didn't get. Here's some footage.
