Finally got a chance to watch it in HD in full screen and full blast. Love the concept. Who did that illustration on the comics? I ma cosign Shutterworth about @BlackDroog about his production progression, your beats are getting better every daily homie, keep it up.. Sound was nice all around and @LauderdaleBoss did his thing like always.
Thanks breh. Glad you liked it. I did the illustration for the comics as well as the other covers you see in the previews afterwards. I wrote the story as well and provided Droog with the samples for the beats and dude just went and did his thing. The 1st beat was prolly the hardest to get right because we were going for a different sound, but after that everything just hit dead on.
That's what makes this project so unique because it only took 2 people to do it. Usually the emcee has to get an artist, then someone to write the story, and then someone makes the beats, and etc...We did something that most nikkas would require a team to do and it just came about random as fukk.
Okay. Guess I gotta be the one.
I am actually working on something in this same format so just a little criticism:
I find it hard to read when someone is speaking entirely different words. Also, I find it hard to listen to the words of the song while trying to read. (Either instrumentals or have the voice over actually convey the dialogue)
Instead of handwriting the letters, perhaps one could utilize a digital graphics tool.
Honestly I haven't made it past the first few pages, but my overall impression was that of a doodles from a school notebook.
Like I said: I have a passion for Hip Hop and comics and I fux wit both every day. Just giving my honest feedback. Hope it's helpful.

"Doodles from a school notebook" was unnecessary and ruined what would otherwise be considered as constructive criticism....a lot of effort was put into this...
But no worries....We have much more in store. This is the first of many projects. Thanks for reading/listening....or I should say thanks for attempting to read and listen. and thanks for the comment.
All feedback is appreciated.
Peace.
Hmmm.. okay so you gonna tell me how I recieved your art.
That doesn't affect me in any way.
Me telling you how I recieved your art MIGHT have an effect on you.. if you let it.

Aight breh, since you attempted to semi-respectfully critique our project, I'll try to answer your questions/statements in the same manner.
1. That's great that you're working on something in the same format. Good Luck with that since it's a much harder feat than you may initially think.
2. The best way I can describe a (rap comic) is this way. Hope this example helps. Picture yourself reading a Wu-Tang Clan comic book while playing some Wu-Tang clan in the background. Now imagine that the songs are a soundtrack to whats going on in the comic book your reading. The songs don't necessarily have to tell you what's going on because that's what the illustrations and words in the panels will do. I can't explain the story of the comic any further if you can't grasp that concept, especially since the songs reflect the mood, thoughts, and actions of the characters on the pages. If you can't do two things at once like reading and listening then maybe this project ain't for you, but we're glad you tried. I'll just waste my time explaining the story since you said you couldn't finish the whole thing.
3. The best way to view the words and pictures clearly is if you view it in HD in the full screen video player. If you still have a hard time viewing things and understanding what's going on then, I can't help you. You must understand that this was just the first attempt at something like this. We didn't have a guideline to follow, so we'll definitely improve on the writing so apologies on that. I was making up the story/pictures/songs as we went along. This was a random project that we never set out to do, shyt just happened so keep that in mind. Everything was hand drawn and scanned to a computer. The production values for future projects are being improved upon.
4. If your overall impression is that this was just doodles from a school notebook, then that's cool, but I feel that by you not watching the whole thing will cause you to miss out on more than I could have gained from your feedback so we'll just be at a stalemate in regards to that.
I hope this reply gives you a better understanding of this rap/comic project that we did an if it doesn't

Y'all some arrogant nikkas. I am trying to help you ny saying something besides "cool".
You just said yourself you made this up as you went along and it shows.
If you don't want actual feedback then keep it to yourself. I didn't insult you, just kept it a buck.
Dog, I don't care and I don't need help. You do tho. Are you willing to accept it?

Dude you said it yourself, that you ain't watch the whole thing so come on breh. How you expect me to respond? How can I get feedback from somebody who ain't watch the whole thing nor fully understand the concept in the first place. If you would have done that then I can understand. I didn't even insult you either. Just kept it real. Its up to you how you take my feedback to your feedback.
and if you don't care my nikka then don't respond and keep it moving.
