Waggstar-
Thanks for your kind thoughts. I checked out your tunes too. The intro on Water Love made me cut the rug soon as the main section dropped..I listened to the rest of your tracks with my best headphones on. Great quality stuff..
Keep on keeping on,
Ink Well

I suggest you go to muckrakers page and fill it up with sh1t. the guy has the cheek to have a page with no music on it at all, on a site which is for people who make music, then he displays further nerve and disses you guys who are actually out ther doing it. What a prize pr1ck.
take him down guys.
He's at -http://zebox.com/muckraker/

In regards to the request for...Send them all, both battle-raps and braggodocios, love ditties and joker-rhymes...found a moment to freetype something. Look, there's enough room for different styles...linear thinkin', conformist, drones like you have hope too...
What the f**k you want from me?
Little Tommy C-
I've been bouncing tracks since you were bouncing on Mommy's knee-
I should fly to Cali and expose this skrawny G-
Benzino wanna be, drama queen
Asking Ink Well to come up with something braggadocious-
Please, that's easy I'll out-stage the dopest-
I'm chiefin' nice, you almost finished your emergency bag of roaches-
Your little web-page can't derail me son, I've got major focus-
I rock mics like samsonite-
or extrusive volcanic andesite-
sometimes I say to myself, god damn I'm tight- cause even when I type I can pan the mic- son I've been flippin' words longer than Vanna White- I'll crush you and your inflated image like an empty can of sprite- then give your wack ass a ticket like you just ran a light- I'm getting mad head, your getting hand tonight-
Your mind is so polluted by your faithful radio- when you hear real hip-hop you don't even know- I've tasted success and I got to have it yo!- so believe me when I say I'm bout to blow like girls backstage at a Lenny Kravitz show-
I get paid rapping all day, so you gave me good advice, when you told me not to quit my day job- then you called me dingey? like I'm some sort of stray dog- zero credentials yet you try to play god- you even write with a lisp, Muck you're such a gay slob-
The fact that I rap is not a co-incidence- I'm a musician who rhymes, not a rapper who plays instruments- Do you see what the difference is? You don't, and that's what the difference is- So now that you've said your piece, we can both go on our separate ways and carry on or incidental existances..
Any publicity is good publicity-
So thanks for showing love and dissin' me-
Sonned,
I'm out, Ink Well

Just wanted to let you guys know that it is a breath of fresh air to see a band (That actually PLAYS instruments) that isn't obsessed with crack culture actually have the number one spot on a music website that is loaded with rap clones. It's cool that you guys have a sense of humor as well. Real music played by real people on real instruments is well on it's way back. Thank God...
as quoted from chemical timmy in regards to One Four Burning, but applicable to these guys too.
ps. check the lyrics and prod. on One Four Burning...sonic integrity!

I'm glad someone finally put together a review site to sort through the dung on zebox. It's hard to find the gems with all the crews that have hastily constructed amatuer sites here.
Though the author doesn't include any credentials or display any technical knowledge of production techniques she does voice her opinion rather amusingly.
In regards to the review of The North Factor, the number 6th top artist of the moment- Muckraker inaccurately referred to numerous emcees. Though there are several talented individuals operating within the production company, but only one has material posted on zebox. Muckraker also makes the bold assumption that the 23 year old producer/musician/lyricist is financially dependant on his family for his equipment. Not only is this untrue but Brains Brawn aka Ink Well doesn't really own any outboard gear aside from his turntables and his library of vinyl. By astutely noticing the sonic integrity of the tracks and their overall mixing Muckraker must have confused high quality with rich parents....not the case. In fact these tracks are just a hand full of free tracks Ink Well was willing to part with. All of which were recorded by the legendary Big Jess of the Unknown Prophets at N.E. Time studios using professional recording equipment. These tracks were taken off of an albumn called Past Due which was promoted at live shows across the midwest. Muckraker mentioned how the lyrics sounded like they were being read... they were performed many times live long before they were ever even recorded. Suffice to say any member of The North Factor practices and fine tunes every detail before scheduling studio time.
Once again thank you for starting a review page here on zebox. Suggestions I have for you include a rating system EX. 5z's-1z
and perhaps more educated critiques. People have faith in Muckraker, she's just getting used to this whole music industry.

It is true...We had our logo designed back in the mid 80's...The North Factor has been doing there thing forever...sorry if the old skool is all in me. As far as shedding light, please...that's what KRS-1, Jam Master Jay, Kool Herc, and countless other real hip hop heads are for..not 14 year old punk b***h posers named Naps. You can tell me to count bars, but I'd rather lay on my back on a calm night and count stars...

How come you ain't got no photos of your crew? I know ya'll is some lame ass white boys frontin

And what the f**k is with your North Factor statement? Sounds like some corporate advertisment. I'm glad I stumbled across your site, just so I could shed some light and hopefully make yall realize yall need to work. better recognize,

U seem like u have a good head on yor shoulders. Don't listen to the naysayers. Dig deep into the looney bins and do what u love to do. Yor commentary is humorous. Even sent a brain like me back to the dictionary. Concocting funny fictional words could be the underlying signs of an MC. Ever spit?
Props, and good vibes.
