THANK YOU ALL!! |

Crack Pipe 47 maybe?... seriously though, I never knew grimey/gangsta/wicked/dope dealers all had a specific type of tone.
Anyway I will give you a suggestion. The Shure SM7 is going to be one of your best choice IMO for the preamp you are currently using. The RNP is incredibly transparent, so any mic that sounds too boring is not going to cut it. Other mics you can try are the Neumann TLM103, AKG C414, Rode K2 or Studio Projects C1 if the artist is not overly silibant on the mic. If anything bring gangsta down to your local music store and audition a couple of those mics and see what works best, or rent a few and audition them...
