Upgrade!

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008 – 5:02 am
openpot 2.0 passed a big upgrade. There are a lot of new features. The system runs now on UTF-8 charset.

Was hat dich zum Rap gebracht? Im Jahr 2005 begann der ganze Rapkrieg hier in Deutschland, und da ich es so irgendwie cool fand, habe ich mir gedacht, selbst was zu machen, und habe zufällig einen Beat zuhause gehabt und ne Webcam, die ein eingebautes Mikro hatte, ja, damit habe ich meinen ersten Track aufgenommen, in dem man nur "sa ma la pa la da la da ra" verstanden hatte, halt so Scatman style.  Aja, mir hat es halt gefallen, was eigenes auf die Beine zu stellen, und hab` immer weiter gemacht.
