Even back then when I uploaded this, I was still flabbergasted that no one ever thought of this for an idea of a meme. Dare I day, it was... UNACCEPTABLE!

Back track is "Irreplaceable" by Beyoncé, by the way. 🤓

For six whole years, this never happened...

Hey you guys. I've used one of my emotional rips "Saying Goodbye From Time" in this important announcement because I know if I recorded it by voice, it would be an hour-long recording just to prove a point.

I'm gonna be completely honest and say that I'm going absolutely nowhere with the material I post for you guys' entertainment. Very lately, my posts have not been very successful  ever since my 2-3 month absence. The most popular mashup has to be "The Song that We Beat to Death in Twoson", which is one of my favorite pieces I've done as of late, but that's it; not even that very mix has passed 2.5k yet, or caught the attention of more people than my follower count.

I'm grateful for the love that the few of you guys have been giving me, but it seems like it's just not enough, for not counting my Beyonce/Adventure Time "shitpost", NOTHING has even hit 2k plays, which is meaning one of two things: either my fans are busy or my material nowadays is just not worth listening to.

Even worse. I gained 14 followers in this month month alone. In a whole week, 11 OF THOSE 14 FOLLOWERS HAVE WENT AND GONE. It's bad enough that even when I post content daily now since I'm no longer busy and temporarily out of a job so I can work on my albums and such, I'M STILL IN THE 1800 FOLLOWER ZONE FROM NOVEMBER. And while I put so much dedication to what I do and what I love to do, other artist (no names or disrespect) that use no effort or more memes than mashups get the followers, get the recognition, get the love. There are other artists who take their stuff seriously including me, but minimal or no percentage of acclaim goes to them, but to the memes and shitposts full of WANOs, All Stars, Shooting Stars, and Wow Wows, oh yeah! Give them all medals!

I'm not bitching or implying that I need more recognition, for that would be pigheaded and selfish, two things I am not. I'm implying that I might not have it in me anymore if I literally go nowhere. Nowadays there are more followers leaving me than notifications popping up in my feed in a single day.

A lot of things are happening for me. I'm gonna turn 21 in a couple of weeks. I'm gonna be releasing a very personal album that I'm working on that my fans will hopefully like, it will be 5 years that I've been doing mashups when October hits. My Nintendolution will most likely be DONE before the year ends! But... what if that's not good enough? What if memes are the new mashups? I'm honestly not a memeful artist; I make my work personal and serious over 80% of the time. And it's just not good enough apparently at this moment of time.

I get that a big part of doing mashups is that only the artist, have the right to release your material, it's your right to know that your material is great if you believe it is. As corny as it may sound, it couldn't be more right. But another big part is the audience. And that's the most important thing to me, making people happy, being well-known for my craft for my art. Not having to share my material on Reddit to be a success. That's where songs like "Ashley's fresher than you." and "Skull Girls' For Real" come in. But lately I've been getting by, and that might get me to the decision that I might not make it to my fifth year.

I'm not asking for pity, sympathy or more followers and reposts and all that desperado needy shit. I just need some guidance. Should I keep on mashing, sell my everything that I've mashed and turn it into memes, or just quit altogether. I need... guidance. Tell me what you guys think I should do. Please this is serious...

Sorry if I broke your train of thought or your eyesight reading this long-ass announcement, but this is seriousness coming from it and I just want you all to know that I will always love my followers and mashup artist comrades, for they listen, love, and even critique my stuff to the fullest and I couldn't be more happier. Thank you all for everything and hopefully I come back mashing and swinging. Peace, love and soul.

How long do I have at this? (Read description...)

"October 23, 2012 was the dawn of CMCroom the DJ Hero, as he takes a journey through pop music and video game music, mashing them at will. Now, he has past the five-year mark and our newly-named DJ Hero, Nib Roc, continues to entertain mashup lovers around the world, proudly sharing his artistry with thousands, and stapling his name in mashup glory... 

...This is 'Five Years in the Making'." 

"Five Years in the Making" is my first official compilation album. As I enjoyed these making mashups in the five years I've been active, from YouTube to Soundcloud, these are 100 mashups that I've loved so much in my years as an up-and-coming mashup artist. 

You can enjoy all of my favorite top 100 picks of mashups I've made in the five years I mashed for you guys' entertainment. So without further ado, here is one of my biggest albums yet: "Five Years in the Making", the first-ever compilation album, celebrating five years of Nib Roc! 

Now if you'll excuse me, I have three other albums to do before I take a little break and move into possible animation projects afterwards. 

Thank you so much and... PEACE LOVE AND SOUL.

Five Years in the Making

About time I upload another mashup in a month, right?

So, this mashup is just... something on how I've been feeling lately. And no, I'm not committing suicide or having suicidal thoughts. But I'm having this feeling that since I'm busy and such with my job and being that I'm working on beginning a new YouTube project within a few months, I just don't feel like doing this anymore, and on certain occasions I've thought on this.

Being that the last thing I've done was Nintendolution, an album I worked so damn hard to make (over 2 years), and seeing all the support from other mashup artists and listeners make me happy, I sometimes feel that since it went NOWHERE near my expectations when it came to playtime and recognition, even with the great DJ Cutman's support, mastery, comments, love, AND repost. Yet... other than those things, nothing further came out of it.

Another LP I was working on shortly after its release was in the works. I'm only on the second of many tracks. And it had nothing to do with Nintendolution's lack of success, but it was just lost of interest, something that I've feared for about two years.

Sometimes I feel like I'm not enough in the mashup community, and I'm not saying any of this for pity, nor am I bitching, or attempting to, just to get recognition. I say nothing but real shit.  I just don't think this is my hobby-to-be anymore. 

I'm not necessarily saying that I'm done. If anything, I'd semi-retire, coming back and forth without saying a word about it. I'm just wondering if I could go on. I need advice, not only from my friends, but my listeners and my followers. What should I do? Please let me know.

Either way, I hope you enjoy this mashup, I've constructed, with "Don't Forget Me...", a song I've literally used 5 times in my discography. I believe that's a record. Anyway, enjoy :)

This is a recent project by the name of "Beastieface", an album where I take hit songs performed by the Beastie Boys and mash them together with the entirety of Twenty One Pilots' album "Blurryface". 

This is in celebration of the original "Blurryface" album's third birthday/anniversary, as well as a memorial of late Beastie Boy, Adam "MCA" Yauch, who died over a week ago, six years ago. 

Both groups have been influential to me in a sense when it comes to my overall taste and interest in music, and this is an album, despite working on it for only five days, one of my most hard-worked mashup projects I've ever done. So without further ado, here is my latest project. I give you: "Beastieface".

So months ago, I started to make an 8-bit remix medley of Logic's latest album "Everybody", which was a very important album that I've listened to. 

It was very fun making it, but I'm not sure if I should continue on it because I have similar plans to do the medley in an acapella fashion. Tell me what you guys think, should I continue this in the future? Let me know. I'd appreciate it, as well as the listen to this work in progress. Enjoy.

SONGS SO FAR:
