Boogie Down Productions - "The Bridge Is Over"
On March 13, 2020, genius.com posted this story about Waka Flocka Flame saying that he would "annihilate" KRS-One and Nas on an 808 beat. Most people who responded found that claim ridiculous. I replied,"What’s the matter with your MC, Waka Flocka Flame/Don’t you know that he’s out of touch?". Source: 7 months ago
What’s a great song that has one really dumb lyric?
Had to look this one up on genius.com. Apparently the song is about the media frenzy on his family, and the 'vegetable' lines is about how they eat you for their sustenance. Source: 7 months ago
BLACK SNOW: Breaking down of one of Aes's best songs since the NSP days
I don't think the cupboard lines have to do with financial status (also used in the genius.com annotation). Why would having snacks and candles make him wealthy if he's splitting a bean in three? Source: 7 months ago
Looking for song with lyrics , I’m so high, forgot to land the motherfucking plane? Pretty sure it’s a Lil Wayne song

Can someone walk me through the issues i’m dealing with? 15s video is linked showing the issue, as it is difficult to describe in text. Thanks in advance.
Have you tried opening https://distrokid.com in a new tab or the iOS app? Or tried opening it on a computer instead of a phone? DistroKid’s website isn’t really set up very well for phone use when you need to set up your account or upload music. Source: about 1 year ago
Where would the first place the new song would be released?
I’m checking with Dashon again today to see if he knows why the song isn’t on YouTube or Spotify yet, but it’s all up to https://distrokid.com/ at this point. Source: over 1 year ago
Making money on Sporify with AI?
Then you can upload it using ( https://distrokid.com/ ). You can create mixes on youtube or Spotify and make some passive income. Source: over 1 year ago
Weird question about Spotify and Soundcloud.
I recommend looking into a service called Distrokid that serves as a publishing house for independent musicians/bands. As you've probably read about, publishing is the crux of many tragic stories among songwriters and bands. Distrokid is one of a few service providers that streamlines the rights management and distribution of original material to the major platforms and streaming services. If you've recorded...
