dude... your vocals really remind me of eminem, theyve never really sounded THAT similar to eminem before just in this song... dont use autotune! for fuck sake dont be another one of those rappers who over use that shit...

you really just need to try your hardest to sing it better i think... or make it sound more solid somehow.. i mean its not THAT bad... it just needs work man..

better layering of the hook man.. layers are the key to a solid hook.

hmm.. i dunno, maybe just keep practicing your singing till you get it sounding more professional... cause its fundementally a song about you man getting someone else to sing a hook like that wouldnt sound right.

it wouldnt hurt to atleast try the auto-tunes out and see how it sounds in comparison even tho that shit is played... mainstream dudes would dig it tho -_-

I'd say on the hook do one main vocal and then record 4 overdubs and pan each one over L and R.
