Sense, damn man, your quality sounds like a slice of ass-cake. That alone makes your marketability a goose egg since no consumer at any level wants to listen to poor quality music, no matter HOW good it is. It's a shame too since your voice has a harmony that that steaming shit log of a mic just can't capture. It backfires on you too because you can't groom the good habits that a voice like yours calls for. Your topics are nice man nice array, something for everybody, that's big. Your track "Dear Lord" is probbly the most entertaining "I'm down with god" track I've listenend to, mostly in how you approached it. Should have let ther instrumental ride out some more, the melody after a track like that makes a great runway for peoples thoughts about wht you said since anyone listening will reflect on their own experiences.

EQing helps any situation, so i suggest you read up on it (thread in this forum) and apply what's within to bring your stuff up. On that DKon diss, you sounded like you wrote it in a rush because it wasn't as fluid as the other tracks I heard. That applies for the delivery and for the flow, in some parts you mumble, and in others, it sounds like you're a victim of your own poor sylable conservation - factors that weren't prevelant on the other submissions. Don't drop your standards man, it always comes back to bite you.

Learn to EQ - and then apply it, then get a new mic, and you'll be sitting on a launch pad fueled by your lyrics and inate sense of creativity.


Pexx

How come the first thing you went off on was buying gear?

the first thing you shoudl be doing is learning how to EQ. Depending on your skills, you might not need to buy jack shit.

hhmm...so lemme ask you, what made it difficult to apply? I mean, if I can make it clearer and improve it, hey man, I'm always open to that. To keep this thread on topic, hit me in a PM.

You got some punches that'll add light to your verses make listeners chuckle and smile.

The only thing I'd say is that your songs (the ones submitted) all have similar topics, b-boy type braggodocio topics. I mean, you're Leady the Hip Hop Junkie!! That's expected hahaha, and a wide array of topics would make you like...well..sorta like a white KRS. Some collabs with concept artists would blow you up in a big way and make their fans your fans. Marketability is proportionate to the markets you can reach. I tell you this because I know you have the knowledge, the ability, and the platform to apply it.

That's really it man, pick up those mids and highs at tad, and flex your mind muscle on different types of tracks, maybe a few abstract ones and you'd be a top shelf underground artist.


thanks man, thats really appreciated yeh as of late im switching up my topics n shit, n im now getting the producers of the beats to mix and edit my vocals with the beat properly to create that crisp sound n shit like that, so watch for sum new material with sum crisp production and more variation of topic.

thanks again man, its nice to see sum1 actually understand my style and what im trying to do and exactly where it gets the inspiration from.

Your rhymescheme is extra basic, usually 1-2 syls, and you add insult to injury with more than a few bar-couplets that don't lock, or flat out dont rhyme at all. Things like that, concious errors, erode the impression of your music. Some multis would be nice every once in a blue, just to breathe some variety into the tracks. I see you came a lonnnnnggg way since our last discussion about writing to fit your flow. Apparantly you do this at will, because on that shining armor track you made sure all the shit was on point and plainly put more attention into it than the others I listened to.

Your topics mostly consist of pseudo-emotional topics and songs which is great in small doses, not as a mainstay. People get tired of hearing others stack up their problems, it eventually interprets to "complaining". You can write to seemingly any topic, just something in the packaging. Where are your happy songs, don't you ever have good emotions you want to talk about? Lets hear about em! You have your own style, you just need to branch it out waaayy more man.

You're good at telling stories, and stories require long attention spans. Unfortunately for you, your peers (who are your target audience) have short attention spans. That inherently will make you less marketable. Make those types of tracks way fewer and way more far between. People want music that's easy to listen to as well, music where thy don't always have to give intense focus on what you're saying, they can just "hear" it and vibe to it too if they want. weave some tracks like this into your catalog and you'll see people who were luke-warm on your music will grow to like it, and those that 'liked' your music will grow to 'love' it. It makes you more well rounded, and also lets your tracks be heard in yet another frame of mind. And that = good.

Thanks alot man...really appreciate it. Props on this.

And I will work on the things you said.

Word......


Enyg, you rush shit in your flow at times it's always a loose sylable here and there that make your flow sound stuffed together and othe times it's just gaps like you don't flow all the way to the end of the bar so it doesn't "lock" which makes you sound unpolished. Easily corrected with word conservation. You remind me of Megala of Cannibal Ox in some regards. Your flow is consistent but also redundant at times since your spit tempo is the same on pretty much everything cept on that "almight oyd" track it sounded like you put something different into it to match everyone elses tempo. Who ever did the hook on that song was way off beat, speaking beyond the bar end and the reverb made it sound worse. Actually, now that I listen to you on the second hook, its' the beat that comes back in too soon, it should have stlled for a little bit longer. You went back to your typical flow by the time the second verse started.

I'd say all in all you sound like a "close" emcee, as in you're closed to a finished product but the shortcomings that you hear in your self i also hear. It's mostly in flow like talking at one pace then rushing a part of a sentence to get more sylables in, thne going back to the normal tempo agian all in the same sentence is a no-no. Iron that out and I think you'd be pretty well off. Your beat choices are slow tempo usually more abstract underground type of sound which some people aboslutely love and other people couldn't care less for, so be mindfull of that.

And that's pretty much it.

Black Magic, that track "a good nights sleep" sounds like it was spit or recorded completely off beat. Your rhymescheme had change-ups that weren't anywhere near on synch with the bar start and ends in the first verse. Tightenend back up in the second verse though still wasn't what I was used to from you. And don't slack on the rhyme scheme man, you sound like you gave up on making some bar couplets rhyme 100% and just plugged in a word that ..ehh...sounded kinda similar but not enough to say it rhymes, which in 2006 equates to not rhyming at all. I can tell you had a hard time on this cuz the bpm isn't what you're normally on, and the flow you usually use sounds stretched and too segmented on a beat like this, so you fill the gaps with extra syls and it sounds like lumpy oatmeal. Your vocal quality is really good. That "here to stay" was more like it haha, I'm not sliding to sleep no more. ok,feels like now the review starts. You already know I think you can produce your beats have variety and a sounds that's marketable if you actually market it. Sounds liek you half-assed the transition to the hooks on that "the truth" and the reverb on your vese was waaaaayyyyyy too long and too bright.

That's all I can say for now, I really think you should have submitted 3 different songs or at least tracks where you spit longer than 1 verse. I'll have to catch back up to you on the IBM review, 1
