PROPS FOR PUTTIN YOUR MUSIC OUT THERE. MY FEEDBACK IS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR YOU OVER SOME ORIGINAL PRODUCTION & I THINK YOUR MUSIC WOULD IMPROVE GREATLY IF YOU STARTED SPITTIN FROM THE HEART & TRULY TOLD YOUR STORY. THATS WHAT MAKES AN ARTIST UNIQUE. YOU CAN PUT WORDS TOGETHER BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF YOUR LISTENERS CANT IDENTIFY WITH YOU AS A PERSON? LISTENERS WANNA KNOW YOUR PERSPECTIVE. YOU DONT GOTTA BE THE BEST LYRICIST TO MAKE A GOOD SONG OR TO ESTABLISH AN IDENTITY MUSICALLY; ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS REALLY SPIT WHATS IN YOUR HEART. & MAKE DOPE HOOKS & HAVE GOOD BEAT SELECTION. LASTLY, IF MUSIC IS YOUR TRUE PASSION KEEP WORKIN ON YOUR CRAFT & YOU WONT LOSE.


PS: LISTEN TO EVERYTHING. BROADEN YOUR PALLET. STUDY THE GREATS. STUDY THE UNKNOWN. EVERY ARTIST WACK OR AMAZING HAS SOMETHING TO OFFER

Thanks for the feedback. I made two original tapes before this telling my story but I felt like I had show off skill for a moment over the story. But the next round I'm back to my perspective on shyt.

Find that balance of being original and writing from your perspective while still meeting the people at eye level so they can see your vision.

Whats good bro. Honestly dude said EXACTLY what i would say. All ill add is to rap over original beats, as that will push you to develop your own style and flow. I heard attempts at other rappers flows and styles in your stuff and i think a great deal of that is cuz youre rapping over mainstream beats. Original beats will bring out your own originality. Other than that, keep writing and practicing. And dont think you have to separate personal raps and showing off skills. Do both at the same time. Thatll differentiate you from everyone else. Peace.

Who did you hear? Just curious if it's shades of the older influences or some of the newer cats.

What others said

I got bored by the time it hit the Pump it Up remix

U were on that "rapping just to rap" tip and it was just boring

No narrative that was delivered in a way that interested me

Now I didnt listen to the whole tape but Im gonna assume the rest of the tape are in the same vein as the first 4 songs, and say that listening to this I dnt rlly know you nor did you give me the urge to want to know you through your music

As others said....find your own style and be more personable and open with your music to make me the listener more interested in the guy whos spitting

Enjoyed the rapping but as everyone else is saying if you made tracks with a story or a little more of personal taste that'd be cool. I respect the work though, keep it up.

Big Sean, Logic, Childish Gambino, etc.

Big Sean, Logic, Childish Gambino, etc.

That's definitely coincindental they not in my library except for Sean but thanks for the insight. And is @whoisDarkPrince your new account?

And the next project (titled White Magic or Manchild not sure yet) is basically expressing the awkwardness of my age/growing up so stay tuned @jonsie @blackslash @observe@ @Wepa Man @doublenegative @jaylav_

EDIT: Thanks to all ya'll for listening.
