The stage is in the middle of a small park, a plot located amidst a vast savannah, where one distinguish space for kilometers around. The first challehat artists fa open spaces is the sound, but the battle is for the producers.
-Adjust your singing, you 't move the microphone like a fg, try to hold it firmly, - shouted a sound producer from below.
The strident sound was annoying, and often it was not pleasant to listen to due to the sound scares. Adjusting the sound is a detestable task. Equalizing is a modest art that some people do not fully appreciate; this is the background that carries the hopes of the people.
Billy shook his head. He had no iion of denying that rehearsal was a real nuisance. He just hoped that others could fight while he tried to reap the bes, but that only ended up causing another view of how the world of artworks.
-Try l the mids a bit, and 1/16 the lows; let's see if this works. If so, raise the lows again, and lower the highs by half; we'll have the particur sound for the type of song, - ehe sound tei.
Billy, though it may not seem like it, has a strong tone, and his songs be heard from many takes. For example, he does a deep tone forix," like a strident tone for "Teenager," which is a bald of songs. However, the ohat trasts the most is "Chop Suey," which is pyed with a strident voice that uses a difference of 10 Hz from his other songs. Typically, these types of sounds range from 60 Hz to 250 Hz.
-Let's move on to the song, - Billy ented, as they tinued with the song.
The impromptu band, from Billy to Spencer, or, Sugar Egg, and Jack Sauce, is made up of young rookies, to appease extreme wills. On many occasions, hiring rookies gees dissatisfa, as they are more willing to demand and propose more fittihods.
-Owo, three... - said Sugar Egg from the sed drum set, a small one, different from the tropical type.

Billy arrived at the hotel exhausted from all the work he had in his day, singing the same soiculously in parts, repeating it, musiotes, again and again, one mistake after ahe Reading and Leeds Festival. The festival's produ has gained some popurity. The Leeds event takes pce at Bramham Park, near Wetherby, on the grounds of a historic house. Camping sites are avaible at both locations, and tickets include weekend camping. Daily passes are also sold. They arrived on a Monday m, and now people start arriving from multiple locations in Engnd.
-Damn, man, I 't believe we're pying alongside Emihey're all crazy, - said Jack Sauce at Wednesday night's dinner.
-I'd prefer a rock band, maybe Aerosmith. It's a rock festival, but rap people show up, - ented Sugar Egg.
-You guys have me, the future big music superstar and you're still thinking about artists. It's unfortable that my musis don't value my music as much as others, - said Billy, receiving a gnce from Spencer.
-Behave yourself and don't act like a child, - Spencer replied. Billy just sighed from the heart. Jack Sauce, along with or, had their mouths open.
-You're Billy Carson, - Eminem replied, aka Marshal Bruce Mathers, wearing a rapper cap on his head and a rge bck jacket draped over his shoulders.
-Oh, you're Eminem, - Billy ented.
-I am. I liked your song 'Lose Yourself,' a song that I could have written myself, - Eminem responded with a rapper's arrogant demeanor, known for his spicy lyrics.
-Your songs are good too, - Billy ented, shaking hands and then paying attention to his polished features, popur yellow hair, along with his charisma, he wasn't a big man, he even seemed smaller than he already was.
-Oh, you've got the style. Do you want a drink? I've been thinking about a movie for some time, and I'd like you to be a part of it, at least in the produ, - Eminem ented, surprising Billy.
-What do you mean? - Billy asked.
-Just as you hear it, e o's... find a less attentive pce, - Eminem ented, with a quiod of his head, gesturing towards some secluded tables.
Billy g the people at the table, who tinued with their mouths open. Even though Eminem isn't very well-known and has been around for less than two years, he has popurity because only one person, a white man who succeeds in a bck man's house, is a striking se, a blow to many and a different call from someone who imposes a different type of singing.
-We're white rappers, - Eminem ented.
-There's no doubt about that, we're white rappers. Although I sider myself a rocker, I prefer rock over rap, - Billy ented.
Eminem gave him a peing look.
- You're a rapper, I've heard your story: correal facility, multiple fights, absent father, and a mother. You live your days graffitiing, you're 15 years old, and I see in you that spark that I had. You've done well, I want to support you, with the promise that you'll help me promote rap for whites, - Eminem ented.
-For whites? -
-Don't get me wrong, even though people say otherwise, there's racism, even for whites. I'm not pining... I just want to fight with others, someoo apany me. If I say something, it's sidered rude; if my skin is different, people will just say it's normal. I know people who, for not fitting the rapper stereotype, weren't accepted by record bels, and now they're disillusioned and have given up. That's why I want to make a rap movie, a white guy who knows how to kick others' asses, - Eminem said.
-Let's do it, - Billy responded, with a slight foreboding. - I'm not white, I'm Latino, but my dad and his family are the typical stereotypes of people who go to churd are detestable. That's why my Latino mother is a stain on the white css. -
-I have Irish touches or so a friend says, well, you'll see... - Eminem narrated what he wanted and how he wa, a blow oable that would teach people that the way they act always has a motivation, and this is to say, hey, I'm here, I'm better than many of those rappers who call themselves big stars.
-Perfect, I'm fih it. I'll support you in the movie, I'll release a rap song, you take care of the musid kick people's asses in one way or another, - Billy ented.
-More than that, my agent says I need marketing, are you willing to participate? I don't have much money, but we colborate, - Eminem said.
-Oh, I see. Although I rap, I 't e close to creating such good lyrics as you," Billy replied.
-The promotion for the movie be done as follows, - Eminem replied.
The talk about "8 Mile" is still oable. Although it may not seem like it, the repression he suffers in the rap industry, and the ridicule, is just a truth.
