this is gonna be an honest vote - Mad Dog has his issues with me, but that's HIS problem, Tony voted on me, so I'ma do likewise...

Summary
Opener - TonySelf
Punches - TonySelf
Multis - TonySelf
Creativity - TonySelf
Closer - TonySelf
Overall - speaks for itself, don't it?

Breakdown
A problem that MadDog has yet to acknowledge is that rap has to do more than just 'kind of' rhyme - having lyrics that make sense also helps. Subject matter between rhyming lines, particularly openers failed him big time here.
'Elbow' and 'Soprano' do not rhyme.. okay they may sould a little bit similar, but you were pushing your luck on that one. But as for 'down' and 'South', HELL NO!!!
Your flow structure is far too simple and there is very little outstanding about it - "I'm flash like a photographer"???? "I'm swift like an eagle"????? Is this your 1st rap??? Hey, I'm not hatin', just critiqueing. And your closing lyric was like something you dug out of the toilet. The plus side for you is that you got heart, you don't give up in the face of adversity.

Tony, opner was cool, the bringing Tupac back line was alrite, even if the subject matter was a lil played out
Okay thru the middle, consistent, if not overwhelming, but picked up over the last 4 lines and finished well.

Tony gets my vote.
