Hey man... I hate that happened. Feeling excluded is about one of THE worst feelings, and of course, as men, our first reaction is, we tend to get "pissed off" lol . (or I do.)
I saw your rap on your page, too man--I liked it. Some creative lyrics, and you have actual rhythm, which is crucial lol.
instrument in addition to their voice--especially if person is not using their voice melodically; i.e., singing--instead, they are more "speaking;" i.e., "rapping." At that point, the line between "music," "rap," and "spoken word" starts to become blurry.The only other thing I can think it might be (aside from what @luzcypher said about only one entry per person--which I can understand because, if you read what the mods said about how many entries they received; that's a lot to deal with) is that there is the "rule" that, with few exceptions, participants are required to either play, or have at least some other kind of accompanying
So either way, it sucks; BUT, personally, I couldn't be too upset if it is just a case of "misappropriation;" I just "put the mail in the wrong box," so to speak.
Oh, and also, I'd totally be down to collaborate on something (I play guitar / sing); I could back you up, play some sweet licks while you rap--could be awesome!! Lemme know!
Thanks for understanding and i'd love to do something with you in the future!!!
