Title: The Black Materia Album: by Mega-ran and Lost Preceptions
Post by: KenJura on 2011-09-15 13:25:44

Hello there.

Not sure if this has been posted or not but I wanted to share incase anyone has not had a chance to check this album out. It’s basically a free-style rap album that tells the tale of FF7 to some popular FF7 tracks.  I stumbled upon this on Spotify while working on my own character models and wow is it good.

I’ve created a play list on Youtube with all the tracks. (all songs were uploaded to youtube by the artists themselves. I only created the playlist)

Youtube Playlist:  http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL03F0A09DCA4BB3CC (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL03F0A09DCA4BB3CC)

Buy the album:    http://megaranmusic.com/album/black-materia-final-fantasy-vii (http://megaranmusic.com/album/black-materia-final-fantasy-vii)

I also provided a link to buy this album if you want. If you’re anything like me it’s the album we never knew we were waiting for.

I find this album rubbish to be quite frank.  I hate hip hop to begin with, but when you bastardise a work as good as the original with rapping and hip hop I can't help but comment on it.  All sampling is, in my opinion, is making money off a previously perfect piece of art and dumbing the original art down.  I don't find it clever nor artistic, and I don't get anything out of it that I didn't with the original.  Others may like it, but it certainly isn't for me. 

Not to mention that this album is illegal.  To charge money for something which hasn't gained the copyright of the original owner, is illegal.  I find it distasteful that Nobuo's work can be ripped off so badly and that you would expect me to fund such crap.

@DLPB: You are absolutely right. Nothing to add.

I didn't know Barret could rap.

Someone should really have posted an ear-rape warning by now. I guess I'll have to do it.

WARNING - EAR-RAPE!

You have all now been warned.
