Anybody know how X recorded all them songs in prison?

[Mr.REE]

Some sound like they are over the phone and others sound like he actually had some equiptment.

Anybody know how he was doing albums in prison?

 

[Sav-Lav Lovely]

He was listenin to tha beat on one phone and spittin on another phone. Those are tha ones that sound like that. But I heard that he had recording equiptment snuck in and he also used that

 

[CRAZY SILENT]

At first he was rapping by the phone.Now he has a recorder and records on it.Then he sends the tape to the studio and they play the beats to his rap.

 

[matteo650]

thats how he does it

 

[Mars]

When I was on Black Market Records, KG his producer at the time told me he raps acepella onto a Mini Disc Recorder and they built the beat around his vocals.

 

[5-Dime NwK]

i read somewhere that he had a CO sneakin equipment into his cell, he eventually got caught and the CO got fired
i cant remember where i read it, i think it was a Raided interview
but that makes sense to me, i guess the CO liked his music

 

[Kix209]

he had a guard sneek in a microphone.

 

[Mr.REE]

I wonder why more people don't rap from jail if it's like that.

Anybody know how many albums X released from prison?

 

[.45]

ALL OF OF THEM EXCEPT FOR PSYCO ACTIVE

 

[skor dawg]

Im pretty sure they sell a modular that has a phone jack and plugs right into a mixer than X just spits accapella over the phone than they build the beat around the vocals dont know for sure though

I remember them i think the group was called "convicts" or "lifers".

 

[Mr.REE]

Might as well let inmates have a recorder they don't have shit to do all day anyways. They get TV's and radios and shit.

Naw I had that tape back when i waz 14 yearz old & i know 4 a fact that Big Mike & 3-2 were not locked up when that waz made. I need 2 find that shit on cd now that i see that pix. That shit waz super tight. 1-900-Dial A Crook waz my shit. The Convicts were actually sighned 2 Death Row @ one point after they dropped the first album(alot of people dont know thiz) but when Willie D left the Geto Boys J Prince asked Big Mike if would sighn back with RAL 4 a solo deal & be Willie D's replacement in the Geto Boys.
