I'm sorry, but I can't find the link for the life of me. It's worth spending some time googling for though.

here it is! http://public.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php

Nah... it was arguably much cooler. It actually had all the words sampled from pop songs, and would splice them together to say whatever you typed in. I wish I could find that link... it was pretty badass.

you dont have to use the whole phrase, you could use just one word then everybody get skunked could turn into everybody, the guy wanted one word, i offered a suggestion which might or might not work for him

its not the original material that counts, its what you do with it!

hence the same reason why bad songs can have amazing remixes!

and you can try and shoot me if you want but youll have to get past my tragically lame uber-generic bullshit samples first

fair do's but this particular niche is NOT easy and getting it wrong sounds WRONG beyond all possible comprehension to anyone who 'knows'

how to do it right = Spinbad, Revolution etc

I can only imagine how long Spinbads mixtape intros take to compile. Weeks of work for seconds of final audio. A true master, dedicated to the cause, overflowing with an encyclopediacal knowledge of hip hop history.

titbag is err ummm right.

Yes indeedy! Thanks... so cool.

just give us the words that are missing and each forum-mate will record one for you. Wouldn't that be a nice contribution?

I'll throw in a word.

ok cool.
there's obviously some room for mucking about, but basically what it needs to say is:

"what's up evolve? how you feelin tonight.

(pause for crowd to yell)

aww yea, i thought so.

check it out, what you are about to hear is being recorded for a live album. it's all tunes i made with my homies between 2001 - 2007.

props to robb g, dave dub, jelo, the electrician, scissorkicks, flore (pronounced 'floor'), si (pronounced 'sigh') begg, lorin bassnectar and teknostep. shouts and love to evolve festival, my friends and family, and everyone here tonight. thank you for being a part of this.

i'm calling this album home school and it's graduation night bitches so make some noise."

So should we all record this, send you the .WAV and then you can cut it up and use whoever's words you'd like? Or shall we pick the words we want? I got dibs on 'teknostep'!!

do any of the words or phrases you can manage. illegal samples, character voices, etc. would be dope too. i need it to sound all chunky and sampladelic.

nearly done.

the only word i could still sue would be 'evolve'

if anyone's got samples saying evolve, let me know.

<3 ya

sooo many bad acapellas.... christ.

anyone have the word dedicated? or any shouts out to friends and family?

funkdoobiest had a song called dedicated

the whole hook was just the word repeated.
there was an a capella also

I would definitely be up for putting some work into this. I have a TON of Hip-Hop/Ragga acappela's and have been meaning to do something like this for years.

We'd need a helluva spreadsheet to keep track of it all, though.
