What's a Good Mic to Record Rap Songs?

[Sakiale]

okay, this is the song i recorded on the macbook stock mic. I have a Logitech usb headset but It's not working too well.

So, I need a good mic, preferably not more than $30. Suggestions?

If you want it to sound anything professional, you're gonna need to spend a lot more than $30.

Your MB's internal mic will actually be better than a $30 one.

Hmm, really ?

Then what should I do to make it sound good?

Like I said, if you want it to sound anything professional, you need to spend a lot more than $30. You could get away with using the internal mic because A) its not a quarter inch from your mouth and B) it's actually not a bad mic. The problem there though is that it will sound tinny and have an echo. Just go buy a good microphone.

I recommend something like this. It seems to have all the necessary features.

Get a Neumann U87.


... And you're recording voice, not rap songs.
