>>734746552now THIS is autismenjoying so far
Holy kino
>>734746552I respect the effort but rap music is the blight of the age for music.
>>734746552this is too much
I don't really like rap but this islike 10,000% better than the average post so bump.
>>734747072Fair point, and to a certain degree, I agree with you. However... One of the songs, I'm pretty sure, is the first and only time anyone's been sweet enough to actually write a villanelle for a rap album, so. Least I got that going for me.
poasting in an epic bread
>>734746552SOVL
>>734746552this is impressive>>734747072that's what chuds say about every new genre of music

>>734748640Wait til you hear Reboot Sequence...
if you actually wrote this this is fucking lit
thank you dave strider for being real and for making this
>>734748997>gaben
>>734748997holy autism
This is honestly well done, hope this gains traction and more people see this
I have a feeling if I watch this whole thing I'm going to be freestyling as I play vidya for weeks, especially cutscenes.
>>734746552oh anon, how i love you
>>734749029I did.Thank you all very much. You lunatics are the exact audience I had in mind, even if there's only a handful of us. Lol
Intense autism but the good kind. It's a lot better than I thought it would be, too.
>>734748997Holy shit this is actually really fucking good. im speechless. Reboot Sequence goes really fucking hard. If you did indeed make this then good stuff dude. Supremely high quality stuff here.
>>734749467you're fucking cool bro, I kneel
>>734746552Good job anon! I hope you make it big.
>>734749467wtf man
>>734746552This is the sort of autism kino that doesn't happen anymore
>>734749467>married, has a kid, browsing /v/ and writing vidya rapsbased
>>734749467coolest anon on /v/ award
>>734746552This is really cool. I liked the nonsensical rhymes in I&H.
>>734749695My wife and my son, and my cousin and his gf, and then my brother-in-law, and my bff all sang the chorus with me on track 11, Whimsical Star. LolEveryone was over for my wife's birthday, and I just dragged them into the room to do it. No heads up or anything. 1 mic, first take, and bam. It was a lot of fun.
>>734746552Holy based this is actually good
>>734749789Yeah.The fall damaged my rhyme processor...Which, I assume is a pretty important component for a rapping robot.
Just listened to the first trackFuaark this is funky as hell and OP got an alright voice.
>>734746552this is fucking awesome and I respect you for making it. If this came out in 2009 it would have been a staple of internet culture
>>734749467ABSOLUTEMADMANYOU'RE A LOST BREED OF ANON, ANON
>>734749983>Dragged his family into his autistic endeavors and it worked outFuckin cool anon
>>734749983Who did the Chako voice?
>>734746552This is certified kinoIt reminds me of Duane and Brand0s songs about Earthbound
>>734746552this unironically reminds me of my favorite rap albums ever, like Ziggurat by Constructus Corporation and MaxNormal.TV. Back when Ninja was still called Watkin. Thank you for sharing it made me happy this morning
modern day /v/ doesn't deserve this inspired OC
>>734746552
>>734750531Chako was AI, unfortunately...I wanted to make sure it was a reeeal sultry, Jessica Rabbity sort of bedroom voice, but any of the women in my extended circle are all on the mousier/high pitch side of the vocal register. LolCurly/Sue's letter/"Nikumaru" in Outer Wall were all a girl from work.And the Balrog "Oh yeaaaaaah' and the "Hiyaaa!" are my son, but pitch shifted to make him sound cuter.
>>734746552top kekepic
this shit is amazing op. made my day. thanks for sharing.
>>734746552this is amazing
>>734746552Nice. Feels like I'm back in 2005

>>734751834Whoops missed a spot
>>734751948>Missed a spot>Oops! Oops!
>>734747698Yes, not classical "mvsic". BTW you are posting on a board that celebrates a "new" form of media, might as well call it a blight I guess.
Working on a project like this for 17 years is the type of dedication I respect. Good shit anon.
>>734746552>5 days agoActually based, anon. I'm not a huge Cave Story, but i can commend you sheer autism and creativity for this. Almost reminds me of brentalfloss golden age.
>>734746552Yeah that's some pretty good auti->Ready, willing, prepared to fightI'm fucking KNEEEELIIING
>>734752256Thank you.It wasn't continuous, though.I actually only wrote lyrics for it whenever I came across a certain song or beat that was like... oh yeah.Like. Eight and a Half's album. I was listening to it, last track came on and I was just like "Oh yeah... this is TOTALLY how a robot regretting his decision to escape like a coward and dooming the surface to a terrible fate" would sound.
>>734752424Shit which song? Just go to My Forevera (fug ;_;)
This is impressive anon, fun idea, Reminds me of when I wanted to adapt Halo 2 story from a Marine PoV writing in hendecasyllables and a courtly language, I lost everything I wrote, it wasnt good anyway, but your stuff is.I wonder if it i might be an easier way to remember the walkthrough eh.>>734752592Were you ever inspired by The Protomen albums?
>>734752424OH MY FUCKING FUCK!!!!THIS GUY!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PICKING UP ON THAT!!!!!!!!!!!
This is great. It makes me want to spend the next 17 years writing a gaming rap album of my own
>>734752656Yes. In fact, I have seen them live like 8 or 9 times...I've actually wondered pretty consistently throughout all this what any of them would think of this, but I don't know what their opinions are on rap/hip-hop, like, in general are, so...
>>734746552this is really great! hope you get to do more and make it big dude!
>>734746552Incredibile.
>>734746552the OC and hero that /v/ needs
>>734749467>windows
I think that the lyrics might be too much of a straightforward translation of the events of the game, but this is definitely some High Effort Posting. I'm only four tracks in so far and I'm going to listen through the rest.
>>734752817>Yes. In fact, I have seen them live like 8 or 9 times...Dayum>>734753095It's so specific it's like your older brother is spitting it as he watches you play
>>734746552writing in an epic thread. I recently started playing this game for the first time but then got distracted with isaac. As soon as I finish cave story I'll definitely give this a shot and make a thread about it

whats the video title? I'll try searching for it at least
>>734746552I rarely ever enter v anymore because it’s such shit lately but MAN am I glad I entered today. Good fucking content, and I fucking kneel in respect
>>734753712
>>734753712https://www.youtube.com/@CaveStoryRapI really appreciate the variety between songs, some are short and others are long, the flow switches up from song to song, and you also made the smart call to allow beats to play on their own instead of just rapping from start to finish on each track. All the production on the ad libs, and also on all the voice samples, honestly chef's kiss. I would have been impressed with so much lessThe amount of polish between the music and the videos themselves is such a pleasant surprise
>>734746552 this is truly the best thing i've seen on here in a very long long time!
this is so f*cking wholesome and redpilled
my reaction
>>734753763Over a decade ago, I was lucky enough to see the first Dogecoin thread on /g/ over a decade ago and mined multiple BTC worth of it.I guess I won the thread gacha again today.
For years I've had Cave Story's teleport noise set as my notification sound on my phone and IRC so listening through this is really fucking me up.
>>734754124>some are short and others are long, the flow switches up from song to songBars
good job anon
>>734754124yeah already found it. actually it's a perfect way for me to recall the parts I finished. I raise my glass to your dedication OP
holy shit dudenice work

>>734746552Holy basedthis shit made my week Anon thanks!
>>734746552You are the one brilliant, shining diamond in an ocean of shit that you stumble upon once every few years while browsing this shithole. Incredible job and congratulations on releasing a possible cult classic. I am so glad I decided to come here today.
>>734755327You know, oddly enough, I was actually worried about using that line because I know everybody's weird now and I wasn't sure if it would piss people off or something... LolLike. I liked it, and it rhymed well, and I liked the phrase "bikini cut fap sequence initiator" cause it sounded robotty, but.That's why I put the Roshi and Launch samples in there. Sorta make it a little more playful, I dunno.
>>734749467>Finger tattoos> dadI am getting bad vibes from this post, any "parent" I ever knew that had an overly compulsive amount of tattoos verbatim had an extremely dysfunctional household for a kid.
>>734746552Ok this is epic
Thanks for not giving up on your project like many others do. Quality OC such as this should always be celebrated and championed.
>>734749983Knowing this, the unedited recording of the living room chatter is a concentrated heroic dose of SOUL.
>>734755327why does a robot need panties
All of the people who claim /v/ never gets OC anymore just got eternally BTFO
>>734746552I SEARCHED HER BEDROOM, NOOKS AND CRANNIESAND FOUND A SOFT PAIR OF COTTON PANTIESBIKINI CUT FAP SEQUENCE INITIATEDBUT I'M IN A HURRY SO I'LL HAVE TO SNIFF 'EM LATER
>>734746552gonna pass because rap sucks and i don't need a walkthrough >rhynmeslooks like i'm making the right decisionhave a bump though
>>734746552Actually incredible. Good shit OP.
>>734746552The gameplay is a bit painful to watch, seems like you use the polar star way too much when other weapons would be more viable given the terrainbut the rap itself is pretty good, roughly halfway through the album. Gonna have to stop watching it for now though since I never finished my true ending playthrough of Cavestory and I don't want to get spoilered.
>>734756965>huge cave story fan excited to finish it for the first time
posting in an epic thread
WHIMSICAL STAR
>>734757120I don't claim to be a fan of Cave Story and I beat it blind like a couple of years ago but only found out that there were multiple endings after beating the game once but got burnt out after trying a consecutive playthrough then never picked up the game again
>>734746552>mfw Reboot Sequence
>>734746552Holy shit move aside brentalfloss
Hell yea motherfuckerIs /v/ the musical still a thing? Maybe you could submit this there, too
>>734756965I used whatever I could find that was consistent with the weapon choices I needed to match the raps. And some of the shit was chosen strictly for time/editing purposes. If the footage was all kick ass speedrun no damage type shit, it wouldn't last long enough to make the video work.
Damn bro if you released this the same year you started on it you would have been crowned as a king on tigsource. Only on there and /v/ have I truly met anyone dedicated to this humble indie title from the early days.Ace work.
>>734757463he'd be lowering himself by doing that/v/ musical has been defeated and humiliated
>>734756764>the roshi noisesgot a laugh out of me
This timeline is healing, I can feel it vros
>>734757983Is it still going? Wdym?
I’m getting nostalgia from my teenage years listening to this, all these random video game rap songs are coming back to me, which I got into listening to the Nerdy Show, that got me heavily into nerdcore for many years. What a trip, this is amazing stuff
>>734754698Typically when someone says a personal project took over 10 years it came in 3 short bursts of inspiration, weeks of obsessive work where 90-95% of the end result comes from. The years in between are just periods when the author was too busy/uninspired to keep working on it.The only exception to this is writing, some niggas really do be pumping 500 words a day for decades
Fucking kino my man.
>Reboot Sequence
>>734746552Dear 4chan,today OP was not a faggot.
>>734755327Sir, this is a Wendy's.
>>734746552Now I'm curious about what you'd do with Wind Fortress. This is some good stiff.
>>734758169i think he just means that it's better than /v/ the musicalit's irrelevant anyway because /v/ the musical doesn't accept submissions that weren't produced between september 15th and october 15thbut he's free to contribute new content to this year's musical
>>734758763Someone can always make a cover with some sick samples from the original
>>73474655217 years well spent, OP. You've inspired me to keep on going with some of my own dropped projects.
>>734749467Damn good stuff OP, was very impressed.
>>734758626I actually wasn't sure about that, either. Because I wasn't sure how Cave Story fans would, like, react to that. Since it's like an add on thing, I wasn't sure if it should be included in the whole thing.Originally, and until about 3 weeks ago, the two "My Forevers" tracks weren't even a thing, either. My cousin/spiritual advisor and I were discussing whether or not I should have included the two other endings (bad & normal) somehow, or just focus on the best ending.Which then turned into "Oh, I should do them, like, softer, more ambient sort of dreamy tracks, and pick traditional poetry forms (hence the Couplets and Villanelle thing) and make them sort of like a 'What if? kind of thing."
>>734746552Based.
>>734746552Alive internet theoryGood job anon
>>734746552Good job, OP. This is amazing.
The realization that unique threads like this used to happen often on this site but its been years since the last time i've seen one.
>>734759595Greater depth/less span, my brother.
Is bothering me that I feel 07_W&M reminds me of some other song I heard in a game, but I can't remember which song...maybe a JRPG.

>>734746552this is so kino
>>734759595There is still hope.
Did you post the lyrics somewhere too?
This might be autism, but it's the kind of autism that was foundational to our great website. Never stop being this kind of autistic.
Finished the album and all I can say is good fucking shit OP. Bushlands, Red Flowers Interlude, Whimsical Stare and Reboot Sequence are my favorites.
>>734760245No.Would you like me to?
>>734760374>>734760307>>734759898Thank you all very much.
how do we get this mass produced so i can buy a cd with liner notes like the protomen
>>734749467Based as fuck.
>>734760402please do!!! maybe in the video descriptions?I listened to it alongside a friend and we just kept sending each other lyrics. good shit man, good good good shit
I've been on /v/ for 20 years. This is easily one of the best things I've seen here. Incredible job, OP
>>734746552You speak of your abilities like one cocky motherfucker, but you earned it. Fantastic album.
>>734759595Only we can make /v/ the /v/ we want it to be.
>>734749467>Finger doodleseh, who am I kidding. You have to have a certain degree of mental illness to be an artist anyway. I mean some of my favourite music producers are trannies, like Sopor Aeternus.Good job OP. Great work!
>>734760507MFW I don't think that will be possible.I just used whatever music felt right for the particular track. I don't have any permission for any of it. And I didn't bother to ask because, TECHINCALLY, this is a step by step walkthrough of the video game. Ergo, it is instructional. Ipso fatso, it is educational, thereby making it a fair use sorta situation.Nothing is monetized, and there's no merch or anything of any kind, so. It's just some idiot doing it for the sake of doing it.
>>734760507Yeah, is buy a CD just to have it, it'd be the most unique thing in my collection.OP START A BANDCAMP AND SELL ME A CD!
>>734746552You should put download links for them.
it's actually kinda good
>>734760863I will pay you to burn this shit onto a CD and send it to me.
Exceptional work anon, thanks for the motivation kick to work on my own personal endeavours.
/v/ isn't usually this good, please sticky this thread or something mods this is kino.
>>734760863i would pay to help produce new music for every track, based on the original melodies of each area
>>734760891>activate automatic android adrenaline>quicker than your most efficient automated weapon system I've told people the spirit of video games wasn't dead but holy shit I had no idea it would arise like this. We've got game devs, artists writers and fucking musicians around here. The Vidya lives!
>>734746552I am genuinely staggered by the quality and effort put into this. Not even a big rap fan, but this is friggin awesome.
>>734760710MFW they said the same thing about Franz Liszt.But seriously, thank you.
>>734760863Youtubers sell merch tangentially related to vidya all the time, so there's some wriggle room. Sounds like selling the music itself is a wash, though.
>>734759853The track is “Waaaaah” by a Japanese woman, Yukari Fresh (Yukari Rotten at the time)
>>734746552>>734749467kino thread, very nice work anon.
>>734760710um... s-source?
>>734761221Whoever you are, I love you.I also used two other Yukari Fresh songs, as well.
>Welcome to Hell
>>734746552This is the autism that the internet was made for.
>>734747354>the first and only time anyone's been sweet enough to actually write a villanelle for a rap albumThat may or may not be true, but you're probably the only person to use "villain hell" in a villanelle,so for that, I feel you do deserve the title "blight of the age"Seriously though, really cool actually turning something so conceptually nonsensical as rap album walkthrough into a coherent work.
OP has singlehandedly extended my stay on 4chan by at least 20 years in hopes of seeing more original stuff like this. Damn you to hell.
>>734746552This is actually really fucking good. Great job anon. I hope more people will find out about your stuff, this doesn't deserve to die in obscurity.
>>734746552Lurking this shit hole is still worth it, thank you
>>734746552>>734749467Thank youFor making thisFor posting it hereFor reminding us of the joy that vidya can bring usAnd the joy of creation
Why does this remind me of Deltron 3030?
>>734759595We must be BETTER /v/IRGINS
>>734746552Very cool, thanks for sharing OP.
>>734746552Pixel is listening right now, OP
>>734762010Amazing
>>734760402yeah, whether in the video description, a comment, a pastebin.>>734761221yes but I never heard thisosng before...maybe it reminds me of something from Katamari.
Finished listening through and this is good. Your choice of instrumentals to use shows a lot of good taste, I was surprised to immediately hear RJD2 and Aesop Rock beats I was familiar with but it also breaks from what was expected, which is hearing hip-hop-ified versions of the game's music. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing depends on the listener, I like RJD2 and Aesop but even then I kind of wanted to hear interpretations of Cave Story's OST.Lyrically I think a lot of it still comes off as kind of a dry interpretation of the events of the game without something like the immature punchups that Duane & Brando have in their take on doing this but I wouldn't have any idea how to write over an hour's worth of lyrics covering every single level of a game without running into the same problem, D&B only ever had to pick out highlights across an entire game and condense them down into single songs.Great job anon, if you continue to want to make stuff like this I look forward to whatever else might come down the line.
>>734762010to him it's probably just another piece of fan content to add to the pile
>sit down to listen to a few songs>end up listening them allActually really enjoyed that.
>>734762193so OP officially made in into the pile? lfg
Saving the songs before anythingIf gets too much views by normalfags, delete it or unlist it, OPNice thread
>>734762193Pixel has always been pretty casual with how he engaged with his fans. I wouldn't be surprised if he actually took the time to listen to it honestly.

>>734746552massive respect for this bro you rock
>>734762282anything makes it in the pile

>>734762854what have you done lately, anon?
>>734762854best*all of the smiling faces OP has created this day. my day has been improved at least.
>>734746552what about human mode quote?
>>734762347isn't that a bit disingenuous to say it took 16 yearsOP wrote it was an on-and-off thingso more like a couple months
>>734762854The act of creation is a virtue. It improves you and those around you.
>>734746552Looks borin'
what the FUCK
>>734762854I would worry more about your reading comprehension given that it was an on and off thing, you would know if you read the thread.
Claiming this thread for the food brotherhood
really cool shit op, takes me back to listening to duane & brando. lurking this shithole for close to 20 years pays off every once in a blue moon
I'm glad you posted this.
>>734762907heh his skin is kinda yellowish he's like the sneed with his cap
>>734762963creation in and of itself is a virtue when you are creating something beautiful or useful to humanity. creating a rap album about a 22 year old video game for the temporary enjoyment of anonymous dopes online is not beautiful or useful. OP clearly has talent and the fortitude required to create something. and yet he wasted a significant portion of his life making a gimmick rap album for a niche corner of the internet. nevertheless I hope somehow this can be tangibly beneficial for him in his real actual life.
>>734746552I fucking love passionate stuff like this.

>>734763383anon is White and has procreated, he has already mogged your entire existence
>>734763383>creation in and of itself is a virtue when-no, Creation is a virtue. it sharpens you and those around you. It enriches the "spirit", the things that make us human. The desire to do something, anything with our time here in this world. I am thoroughly glad that there are people out there, choosing to create purely for the joy of it, despite people like you.
>>734762854Well, I mean...I know you were being sarcastic, but I genuinely DO believe that this is the single coolest thing I've ever done, and I'm most proud of, so. For everyone else, Thank you all AGAIN again. I have to go do dinner and stuff, but if this thread is still kicking in a couple hours, I'll come back if you guys wanna talk about stupid rap stuff some more.
>>734763683>but if this thread is still kicking in a couple hoursit most certainly wont with how fast it's getting posts, but I think it would be worth making another thread on the weekend so that Anons who worked through the work can get a chance to see this too.If nothing else, it's a good header to justify a cave story thread this weekend.
>>734746552I have no words high enough to express my praise.I kneel, that's all I can do.
>>734763383>instead of making something cool that some people like you should have spent your time not making anything cool like everyone else
>>734763683yeah nah you made people happy today. I hope you show this to everyone you know IRL as well because all true gamers know Cave Story and will totally appreciate what you've done>>734763761I think this will inevitably get reposted
>>734746552Why do I have to listen to a compressed version on youtube? Please offer a flac or at least opus download.
>>734763516I like Pixel's art, but I'm really here for the whole package with him. Cave Story and Kero Blaster are both games that are more than the sum of their parts.
>>734746552Incredible work on the LP LP, OP.
Pretty good job on the album, OP.Could you also post the album on another website (MEGA, Google Drive, Catbox, etc.) as well? YouTube lowers the bitrate to 128 kbps.
>>734763383You should probably hang yourself anonThat would be a beautiful work of art ;^)
>>734763850you couldn't tell the difference between flac or mp3 if you tried lmao
>>734746552That's cool. I find the concept of rapping about video games cringe, but I do like Cave Story a lot and you executed it better than I expected, so I'll give you a thumbs up.
>automatic active cybertronic robot savage>master of the massive damageit just keeps on coming
>>734763860I've tried Kero Blaster multiple times but it just feels way too simple to me. Does it open up further in or is it a pretty consistent experience?
>>734763928I'm sure *you* couldn't tell.
TOASTING ON EPIC BREAD
>>734764101correct, you can't.
>>734746552I clicked on it expecting it'd be mildly interesting for a couple minutes before I forget about it, but the whole thing was actually pretty fire. Props to you, dude
>>734764086>my name is quote who the fuck are you
>>734764010Pretty consistent, just doing a Mega Man style experience with a fine attention to detail. Although once you finish your first run you unlock Zangyou mode, which is effectively the game's hard mode where all the levels have remixed layouts and enemy placements to make them much harder. It might be worth pushing through the first run to see that mode and see if that clicks more with you, given the overall length of the thing.
>>734746552Amazing guide, this time I'll defeat Ballos for sure!
>>734763383You literally described what makes it's existence virtuous. You pretentious fuck.
>>734764010zangyou mode is better than the main game
>>734764451
>>734764086Shit was so good I listened to it three more times after finishing the album
bive outta bive breddy gud :D:DD-D:-DD
My faves, no real order:>Bushlands>I&H>Dark Place>Reboot Sequence>My Forevers>Welcome to Hell
>HEY HONEY GET IN HERE AND SEE HOW MANY YOUS MY OC THREAD GOT
>>734764880>what OP's wife sees
>>734764880Let's see you do better, buster. Post YOUR hiphop walkthrough album of your favorite game.
>>734746552>Expecting a shop theme tier shitpost>Radical, Unstoppable, Automaton>Tactical, Mechanical, Phenomenon Absolute Kino. This kinda stuff is why I still browse this shithole. Are you able to post the song files for download anywhere?
wait...why the FUCK is this so good?
>>734746552My Mimigger. I'll give it a listen later, I'm more of a prog rock guy but I always respect board musicians. I have Masketta Man's EPs that I listen to on my way to work.Splendid work, anon.
>>734746552>>734749467Absolute radio
>outside it was quiet>i think i hear the soft sounds of toroko crying>i walk in and king's on the ground dying>and the doctor's lookin down on us and he's smiling
OP if you see this, in addition to letting us download the tracks, it would be SUPER cool if you stitched all the videos together into a "full album" video with all the music vids laid end to end.
>>734765172working on getting it up on Bandcamp or Soundcloud next
this thread/moment is 1000% going into the 2026 /v/ collage, you should feel proud of yourself OP. You've become part of this board's long and storied history (and in a good way, to boot)
what the FUCK this is amazing. god damn, anon i kneel holy shit
Safe to say, you have earned yourself a spot on the collage this year anon.
>>734757463this shit is a million times better than anything the /v/ musical has shit out in its history
kino
>>734746552postan in ebin breadthis reminds me i only finished cave story with the bad ending in my only playthrought, i oughta finish it the proper way sooner or later
>>734764880Who do you show your (You)s to?
>>734746552>lyrical Hip-Hop dopeness... of which, I am overflowing with.OP did not lie
>Want to listen to it>stuck at work the next 6 hours
>Having this high of quality OC come about in this day and age.What a great day to be on /v/. Even if you never make anything ever again, you've certainly left a permanent impact on the anons here. Outstanding work, OP!
>Waterways
4chan can be cool sometimes. Some of you guys are alright.
Absolutely excellent. Thank you, truly.
>>734746552This is fucking incredible. Good job. I think if you can replace any AI bits it'll hook more people. As is people might look at it funny when they realize. But this is seriously awesome. Thanks for making this.
Its nice to see that not everything is shit these days
mfw it's actually good
>>734766416don't listen to this anti-AI faggot OP, it's great just the way it is now
>>734766682I don't think that guys suggestion was unreasonable. He wasn't even knocking it down as a whole, just saying it would hook more people since there are people out there that are heavily against it.
>>734766682not him but there's no reason to get super defensive whenever ai is criticised even lightly
Mods should sticky this.
>>734746552This is actually pretty damn good anon. You should be proud.
>>734766803OP should be granted a moderator role. Then at least one of them would care about OC and quality.
>>734766753there's also no reason to get super offensive whenever ai is used even slightly
If OP ever makes connections with a musician who could replace the AI parts that would be cool but it's not really a deal breaker, the issue with AI is people taking shortcuts to produce an inferior product, but that's not what's going on here
I don't like rap at all and think this is pretty good. Good job OP. Really love Cave Story so pretty nice to see it get some good OC like this.
>>734766914>super offensivehe wasn't, though. did you mean offended?
>>734746552Putting your crippling autism to good use
>>734766914and the post in question didn't get "super offensive".
>>734746552wtf why does this actually rock though?
>17_Reboot_SequenceHaven't heard something so fresh since Bomb the Bass.
>>734766968>>734766960stop samefagging, it's cringe
>>734766945what parts were AI?
>>734746552Based
>>734766752>there are people out there that are heavily against it.those people are retards and will find something to complain about no matter what
i actually thought in the first track i could hear a bit of El-P influence>mfw El-P is actually on the album
>>734767019>>734767065Saar...
>>734767052read the thread, the OP stated a few small vocal components were made using AI. Like I said it's not really a deal breaker
>>734766890>OP should be granted a moderator roleI wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy anon
>>734766682It's not a big deal honestly. It doesn't ruin it for me or anything, and I get that cutting corners happens in projects.
>>734767019>post within 5 seconds>samefaggoodness anon, no need to be a newfag. This all started over a post that was praising OPs work too. >>734767065it does affect reach, but regardless as I, many others, and even the post in question have said. What OP has done is amazing regardless.
>>734746552I was going to laugh at you but what the fuck, fucking good work dude
>>734765363Done. It shall be so.Everybody else, thank you.The Flacs are inbound...>https://cave-story-rap.bandcamp.com/album/cave-story-a-lyrical-walkthrough
>>734746552Incredible shit man. You make browsing this dogshit board worth it
>>734767207OP, PLEASE check the "let fans pay if they want" box. I want to support actually sovlful content like this
HOLLOW KNIGHT COULD NEVER
>>734756324That's because you lived in a trailer park.
>>734746552WITNESSED.This thread warrants a sticky. 17 years in the making and this shit goes hard.Please archive it for preservation sake, I have a hunch some snarky copyright holder's gonna take down one or more of these videos eventually. This NEEDS to be saved.
>>734767365Hollow Knight's so fucking long it would actually take 16 years, specially if one tries to explain the lore. Doesn't help that the game's really meh
>>734746552Good shit OP.
>WHIMSICAL STAAARRRRRR
>>734767491>This thread warrants a stickynah that would attract a bunch of schzoids who would fuck the thread up
>>734767207>page doesn't existdon't hurt me so
>>734746552This is some shit out of a time warp from, like, 2008 or something. I never could have believed something so incredible could still come from /v/
>>734767617If anything this deserves an entry in the history of 4chan list then. I wish there was more kino added that isn't about stickies for dead celebrities or world events.
>i checked the flower farm>i checked the town assembly>the only people i found>were in the cemetery
>>734767284Sorry. I can't.I don't want to make any money off of it because it wouldn't be fair to all the musical artists I used to make it possible.Believe me, fellow nerdo, just seeing this thread and all of the people liking it is rewarding enough. I'm really happy you all like it.
>>734767676thankfully we still get at least 4-6 of these god-tier threads a year on /v/
>>734767825I can respect that. Bless you OP
>>734767617this. stickies aren't really about GOOD nowadays, they're about coralling shitposts into a more manageable katamoron.
>>734767825i saw an anon in here offer to get some original beats made for every track, maybe take him up on that. you deserve to get paid for your work, dude. and getting original beats will allow that to happen.
>>734767207>There remains a very delicate balance in this world… Between those who create and those who will experience the creations of others. I can’t say that I wasn’t aware of this. However, I had never experienced it. As long as there is someone who will appreciate the work involved in creation, the effort is time well spent. To this end, I will continue to create for as long as I can.we may not be quite the same, our autisms forged in different fires, and yet I can't help but feel like we are cut from the same cloth all the same. I've come to realize in recent times the value in creating, in making fan content, original content, everything. I hope many people get to experience what you've made here.
>>734767880>stickies aren't really about GOOD nowadays, they're about coralling shitposts into a more manageable katamoron.I don't think this is always the case, there's a lot of stickies that are just because an important figure died, but a lot of them seem to just be an excuse to try and cut down on duplicate threads about a big event. Anons always take it as some kinda mod endorsement when its usually just the mods saying "here's a sticky retards, don't make 500 threads about this"
>>734767825respectable. Do you plan to upload a karaoke version? I'd love to hear other anons singing this one day
>>734767630Patience. I'm rendering the Flacs now.>>734768227If you'd like, then sure. Lol
>>734767838That's too many, it's 2-4 god tier threads a year at most.
>>734767825You're a good man anon. Thanks for being here today.
>>734767825your attitude is admirable and your dedication to just having fun is saluted
>>734746552>>734749467Further proof that white people are better than negros even at their own game
>>734768472I seem to remember there being a bit more of them last year at least
One of those rare threads on /v/ that make you keep coming backSoulful OC OP, cheersHow often do you even come here?
>>734768593This is just how the internet used to be
>>734751948Cute
>>734768707>How often do you even come here?OP as your lawyer don't answer this question, best not to have this on the record
>>734768729Yes. And I will stop to thank people who try to keep that spirit alive, because god knows it's being clawed down by hustlers on one side and dickheads on the other.
OP you are a real one
>>734767491First thing I did was download the playlist with yt-dlp. You can do it too. Be your own hero.
>>734768707Never. This is my first time ever coming here, let alone posting here.There was some mild hesitancy earlier this morning because I wasn't sure where this sort of thing would be best received...But from just a cursory catalog glance, it seemed like /mu/ just sucks in general, and /lit/ probably takes themselves too seriously to even give something like this a chance, let alone admit there's a staggering amount of quality writing and integrity, so.I rolled the dice that you nerds would be the happiest to see it, and it appears to have been the right move.I'm glad you all liked it so much. Lol
>man who thought all hope was lost discovers a spark
>>734762854he didn't work on the album every fucking day you spastic. it's a very high quality piece of OC that finally saw finality recently
>>734769061surprising to hear, you make me think of the kind of people that were more common here 15-20 years ago. well just know, that while this site is an irony obsessed shithole a lot of the times these days, there's a lot of people that are here looking for moments like this. You've made a lot of anons day today.
>>734746552HOLY KINOOOOOOOOO
>>734769061Wow, I'm surprised. Have you been aware of 4chan for awhile and it just popped into your mind? This site in general used to be a hotbed for original content, but the state of this board and basically the whole site is so grim now that a thread like this really shines through the rot. Thanks for posting here!
>>734769061Dang I thought you were and oldfag. You should still be proud of what you made. Your post was a beacon of light in this cesspool of reposts and bots
>>734769061ahh now it makes sense why you have a wife and kid(s)
>>734746552holy kino, i kneel
>>734769320>>7347692512006... LolI just watch. Never post.I was actually going to just post it with the classic"I'll just leave this here..." but I wasn't even sure if people still said that around here anymore.
this is going to date me, but this feels similar to the first Harmony or Winnie the pooh home run derby threads. Genuinely thought that wasn't possible on modern /v/ anymore. Thanks for rekindling that spark for me OP
>>734769061>Not an oldfag or even a newfag, just an outsider.N-No, anon...you have to keep making OC for me and all the other /v/irgins...Get out while you can.
>>734769451I can't give you anything in return but I hope you have a great day, great week, and great month man. I'm not trying to suck your dick but I cant remember the last time I got a genuine smile from this place, let alone a full album that I enjoyed
>claude died so that Cave Story rap could existGod exists.
>>734769501If you keep an eye out, we still have occasional really good threads filled with OC, but it's easy to miss if the topic of the given threads isn't your cup of tea. There are still people that love video games, even amidst the modern nightmares. Always remember, thread quality starts with (you)
>>734746552I fucking love you
>>734769369Both her and him have never even heard of this fuckin place. LolRules 1 and 2, right?
>>734769451Posting this here makes me wonder if you thought this would have only extremely niche appeal but a year from now I think you'll be surprised by how many hits the vids will have gotten. I've already sent it to friends
>>734746552Rap is crap and everything you say is cap
>>734769691I wonder how this website would have turned out if people had kept those 'rules' in mind back in the day.
>born too late to explore the world>born too early to explore the stars>born just in time to listen to the cave story rap
>>734769697You are correct. I honestly didn't, and still do not, think anybody outside of fringe weirdos like us would even enjoy it, let alone grasp it.
>>734763383t. upset that another person made something solely out of passion and not the desire to impress the entire world
>>734766803Mods haven't stickied OC since the Abby edit. They're not gonna do that here.
>>734769697this is what makes it worth sharing. It's not some shit that some guy shilled to get clicks, it's a passion project almost 2 decades in the making that the creator only chose to share with those he thought might like it. Now it will be huge because it's genuine. It's a real piece of "art" that legit stands above so much of the slop content churned out these days
>>734766803They should and play the full album in the thread. But they're gay and lame so they won't.
>>734763383>uses sopranos to double down on his shitty opinionopera
>>734746552shit sounds straight outta 2009now this is OC
>I'M GONNA TELEPORT>BACK TO EGG CORRIDOR>I'M GONNA SAVE THE SURFACE>I'M GONNA STOP THE WAR>I'M GONNA RESCUE SUE>AVENGE MY FALLEN FRIENDS>DESTROY THE DEMON CROWN SO THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN
>>734769721Well,To me, you sound like s sap,They all agree my shit slapsLike a sac when chubber's getting plapped,So you should probably go fap, and take a nap
>>734769786Everyone loves cave story dude (anyone with a soul that is)
>>734763383>sees an anon create something out of sheer love and passion>"actually youre wasting your time"kill yourself, doomer faggot. anon has created art. you create waste.
I'm listening to this while having the thread open at the same time. Every single song has been great so far.I've already replied before but I'll throw another one out for you: Nothing but mad respect. As somebody who played Cave Storyand + to death to the point I did everything these games have to offer I appreciate how you pick up the smallest and mundane of details from the game into your lyrics and shit goes hard every single time.Ignore the haters, these 17 years were well spent. Good OC on /v/ and the internet in general is a rarity these days. I hope you thrive off your success from these videos and keep the dad spirit going. Easily the best thread of 2026 so far.
>>734746552YESI don't like rap, but this is giving me serious Samurai Champloo vibes
>>734746552I know nothing about cave story, I do not care about it, and I actively dislike rap/hip-hop and all related genres, but I am somehow enjoying myself. Hats off to you anon.
Who did it better?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1emSWVcSu8sOP, obviously
>>734746552You literally and single handedly won every year of /v/ the musical retroactively and consecutively
>>734746552Thanks OP!
>love Cave Story>love hip hopThis was made for me personally. You're a cool guy OP.
>>734746552legendbushlands is fantastic
>>734770350I find it pretty fucked up that he says "Slave Story" and shows a picture of Obama. Pretty distasteful.
I clicked thinking "imagine the shit this retard has done", but it's genuinely good, congratulations.
>>734746552Coolest thing I've seen in a long time.
>>734749467this is the type of autism that keeps me coming herehave one more (you) from me, you glorious abomination
WHO THOUGHTTHAT A WHYTE BOYEWOULD BRING RAP BACK?
>>734746552OP, you just won the internet. I don't think anyone has won the internet in the past few years.
>>734746552Stuff like this is why I can't stop coming to 4chan.
>>734752424>Cave Story and Protomen autism combiningWhat year is this->OP started writing in 2009yeah that checks out, jesus it's like a glimpse of a facade of a mirrored image of personal past autism
>even did a hidden track at the endFucking soul. I've not been so entertained by anything in so many years.
Pixel is doing a spinoff of Ame manga btw, it's got engrish and cute catshttps://studiopixel.jp/amechoga/index.html
