Beat - I always loved this beat. T-boz and Da Brat killed this. The vocals in your first verse are about 2-3dB's too loud. I'd turn the inensity on the reverb down a bit too. Flow got lumpy in some spots. The deliv is EXACTLY like pac's circa 1989. Just mostly shouting and no real variance in it which is a shame. The lyrics were on point but the deliv was 2Dimensional through the whole track. The last line finished off flow too man which is a big no-no. It's not a bad track by any means, but I've heard better from you and EXPECT better. Rapped yourself into a corner now. Better deliver straight A's or everything else will soudn like a C. This would be a C IMHO. Think you owe it to your self to re-record it and fix that flow, turn the levels down a little or at the least turn the levels down on the existing vocals - but I'd still opt to re-record if I were in your shoes.

Honest feed as always. 1

cool ish...your getting pretty consistent with making good tracks man
can't say that i've heard everything you've done, but what you've
linked me to has been pretty nice. Same thing here. Good flow and
whatnot, seemed fluid not off beat or anything like that. Lyric wise
cool stuff, fuck ya from behind have you limpin like a c-walk, that
made me chuckle, lol. You've got the distinctive accent but i thought
the delivery was clear enough to where could make out everything
you say. But was there like reverb on the hook or something?
It kind of sounded like it, though it might be because i have to listen
lo-fi, i dunno just wondering my speakers aren't the greatest. Anyways
i'm sorry i can't give much of a critique, but i'm not really in a position
to say what ya could have done better being i'm not much of an audio
head and i would just sound stupid, lol. It all sound coo to me
keep doing what you do man, it seems to being going good for ya

-peace

OK
im not tryna hate...but if you had an american em sce this shit would sound alot beter to ME...........

but yo nice shit...flow is nice
lyrics are dope....

to be real you sound kinda like 2 pac when you rap.....like you got the ame style and talk about the same shit.....i think that is mad dope.....yo...nice shit..usually i would think that is wack but i honestly think that is mad dope


beat is mad dope.....shit sounds realll good...fits your style....

your flow was on point nice shit...nothing was really offf.
your chorus could have been a lil better....like if you would have had the ONE DAY as a back ground voice.....would have been dope



but all in all this was mad dope yo

you know i be feeling all of your shit......word...
RTF......i dont need a link becuase im that dope...lol

but the song is by me and enygma,,...called
HIP HOP IS OURS.....

La Cosa Nostra 02-20-05 06:38 AM

Lol @ american em sce.. I enjoy releasing these tracks on RV, but understand I do rap primarily for an Australian audience.. As for sounding like Tupac.. I think its just cause I got a base type voice.. I mean Pac has been a real big influence to me as an artist no doubt but I dont get into the whole Thuglife type thing cause I do live in a different culture to what pac grew up in.. But probably when I get down and rap for the ladies I know I've taken a few notes from his music.. :thumbup:

BTW I'm gonna be re-recording this with new hooks & shit..

Consider this as a preview type thing.. I might even add another verse.. Well have to wait and see.. The way I did this was by cutting off loop points and re starting the beat for the second verse.. So I basically got complete control over what I can do with the beat itself..

Thanks for the contructive critasism so far.. Uppin for more.. :)

L.E 02-20-05 09:35 AM

Listening...dope beat...fuck you sound like Pac, I swear...Nice flow, nice lyrics...I think your voice is bein' loud as it is nice...it's clear, and the quality is great...hook is pretty good...this is a very nice track, keep up the good work. What happened t the collab that we were supposed to do???

La Cosa Nostra 02-20-05 09:57 AM

Sorry man this is the first track I've done in about 2 weeks.. Cause I've had a lot of other stuff going on latly. Well hit it up as soon as I get back into dropping regularily..

Restricted 02-20-05 11:27 AM



Beat/Production:
The beat ain't bad, its pretty much looped straight though. I guess it fits you, but definitly a throwback feel to it. Ol'School style.

Lyrics:
Lyrics weren't bad, there was sum parts where you were above par with them, and then you dropped to basic shit. But wasn't bad.

Flow:
Flow was choppy in a few lines, the way you pronounced your words didn't hit with bass line, but besides that your flow was straight.

Delivery:
Delivery probably your strongest point, because you have a lot of emotion. I think this is what makes your songs stick out because of that sound, plus the whole Tupac feel.

Quality:
Nothing wrong here..shit was clear beyond muffled.

Overall:
Decent track, short though...yea you should add another verse to this shit. What you should do is teach me some more high-tech production skills within Cool Edit Pro 2.0. I would rate this track a 8.5/10. Keep At It. Only thing I could say that would be a negative with your rapping, is that you sound like Tupac, and no industry is gonna sign someone who sounds like someone who died from a gun-shooting and had such an impact on the industry....blah but maybe I'm wrong because they did sign that one cat who sounds like Biggie.

[.:D:.] 02-20-05 12:04 PM

aihgt im listenin son...

lol..fuckin accent is funny...

but yea...quality is pretty good...lyrics is good but ya flow fell off at some points...sounds like some old school shit...other then ya flow its pretty solid...levels coulda been betta by turnin down ya vocals...they seemed to high to me..

Tha Q 02-20-05 12:25 PM

I think you should take some of the reverb out your vocals


but they are clear...

bring that Reverb down a notch...

beat is good


flow is good


kinda reminds me of pac here...


good 1

Ca'lam 02-20-05 01:53 PM

**GHOSTE** 02-20-05 02:11 PM

dope...beat is dope...flow is perfect...lyrics is tite...hook...classic...

La Cosa Nostra 02-20-05 07:42 PM

Damn -_- I gotta try and shake the pac voice lol..

Thanks for the feed all.
I'll be uploading the new version today probably so be ready for it..

La Cosa Nostra 02-21-05 12:41 AM

Uppin..........

La Cosa Nostra 02-21-05 09:33 AM

New version is uploaded now..
Has a third verse added and some other new stuff..

Mad Dog 02-21-05 10:05 AM

Beat...good...i...like...very...much...no more playin lol...this was a decent joint to be honest i dunno what DJ is on about coz i really feel the Aus accent on a track but that's prolly coz our accents in pronounciation terms are similar but it's something i feel doesn't affect your songs at all.

Lyrics and flow were something that really caught my ears they were real dope some of the best from ya i liked the adlibs too they were well placed and sorry but you sound like Pac...shame i got that started coz everyone agrees especially the last bit..."Them is my last words" sounded real similar...but overall very good joint...downloaded it too so this def is good to me...keep em comin you and a few other people here are seriously the only reason i'm still here so keep doin ya thing...props dawg.

La Cosa Nostra 02-21-05 10:51 AM

Lol.. ^The "Them is my last words" sample is actually taken from a pac song.. I didnt record that..

TeamOne 02-21-05 12:21 PM

you had really good quality, nice lyrics as you usually do, i like ur voice, but on this track it seemed like u were just yellin on the mic..... show emotion but dont yell..... the reverbs is alil much as some sed, but im cool with it..... decent track i think, but not up to some other shit u made because of the yellin u seem to do on the mic...... i noticed the pac voice along time ago, and i dont think u needa shake it, its just the way u sound..... overall nice track, but u personally can do better.. i have a link in my sig to return the favor wen u have time....

La Cosa Nostra 02-21-05 08:14 PM

Yeah the shouting is more or less because I got a bad mic that isnt very sensitive.. Its annoying, but what can ya do..

Uppin..

Know-Gimix 02-21-05 10:12 PM

you've outgrown your quality... go buy something :) ... cool choice of beat, you come on solid (couple pops tho)... the song is pretty cool, energetic as hell, catchy bridge/hook - your flows not as complex as some of the songs I've heard from you, so thats the only downpoint, but you got a great grasp of what your doing, I like this song, it has a real tupac vibe to it man, sounds like he's a big influence on your style... keep droppin em.. peep "My Haoutz" and drop some feed...1

La Cosa Nostra 02-21-05 11:39 PM

Yeah I agree about the mic situation.. But I'm broke as a joke right now.. I'm getting paid tonight so I need to work out my money and I'll start putting a bit away for a new mic each week..

KnightShade 02-22-05 04:09 PM

we got an aussie tupac lol.. beat is always good

your flow was on point i didnt notice any fall offs

i liked the track man im sure the audience will be moving there head to this track

La Cosa Nostra 02-23-05 11:16 AM

Lol.. I'm sort of trying to shake the tupac voice a bit.. Dont know how people would take it.. Its hard though because thats kind of my style at the moment.. -_-

Ill-Mental 02-23-05 11:23 AM

you kinda sound like tupac man, but with a very mild accent....

i love the beat too

but something is wrong with the vocals, they sound hollow man... especially on the chorus
im really feelin the beat... makes you nod ya head you know
lol at the backround noise when you say "imma fuck ya girl" hahaha thats pimp

good job man... keep the good shit up

dope c-walk line too... good shit

return the favor man

La Cosa Nostra 02-23-05 11:27 AM

Hollow in what way? Its probably the microphone, once I start hitting up the studios my quality will soar because the mic I'm using at the moment aint really all that..

BigTony.Self 02-23-05 11:55 AM

i thought this was good i like some of your stuff man but honestly from u.s. it is an adjustment for the accent but ive adjusted .....also im gettin a little tired of people with some of there assesments about you lack emotion or you sound echoey or any of that people on this website need to come to the realization we arent in studios we have cool edit and a shit mic deal with it we de all sound like stars in a studio i mean when i listen to fifty i dont say hmmmm he lacks emotion i say i like it or i dont all in all good track im out of breathe now lmao holla back at the sick of this track homie 11111111111 :shoot:

Da_Throwdest 02-23-05 12:14 PM

this was a nice track u were on point ur flow was nice fell off a lil bit at times, the beat was cool 2 listen 2, vocab was there, & u did ur thang on it overall quality is 9.0/10

TeamOne 02-23-05 04:20 PM

Ahem...... i dont give out feedback for no reason!!

La Cosa Nostra 02-23-05 08:09 PM

Ahem........Fine I didnt know I missed you out..

Done.. Uppin for more feed..

La Cosa Nostra 02-24-05 10:19 PM

Uppin for the last time..

Determined 02-27-05 08:20 PM

I just listened to act like you kno. I don't hear the tupac style, maybe with his early sh*t your beat has that feel. You hit the beat real good sometimes, but sometimes it kind of sounds like your talking. But overall it is decent. Better then half the shit on here, check my shit out too, i take criticism good, plus I got those hot beats

Van Ished 02-28-05 07:11 AM

Word @ the Amercianize you thing. You have pretty clear speech, but I could picture this smoother without the accent, but it's cool. Can I have this beat? :D Keep doin big things, good to see someone else is doin a mixtape, mines not free tho :-P but yeah, g'luck with everything

La Cosa Nostra 02-28-05 08:37 AM

Thanks man..
I'm getting a new microphone and pre-amp sometime soon.. So I'll be re-recording a lot for my groups free mixtape.. Its all a learning process at the moment though..

Triple_N 03-02-05 09:42 AM

The mixing needs to be fixed up..the vocals is a tad loud....the delivery is bad..your jus shouting...an ya lyrics are no where near as intense as ya delivery...you should calm down a make ya flow more melodicbut still hype.....throw some multies in ya flow..it was good but coulda been better...the lyrics was cool....overall track coulda been better 7/10

..ADLIB.. 03-06-05 10:55 PM

good shit bro. the beat is dope. i just can't wait to get back into this shit now that im back home. not a bad song anyway.
