Test your Marketability II
IP: 5375 4429
Long overdue and much needed. With a deep history with music and who knows how many connections inside the business I'm likely the most qualified person to do this. No matter who you are, drop a link to your music page and the name of 3 songs, I'll give my objective observation of your musical development, style, presentation and more importantly, your marketability.
P.S. Help me help you. Choose 3 songs and 3 songs only. Additionally, don't say "pick what ever 3 you want" because I'll realistically end up picking none. You could submit a list of 10, 20, 50, or 1000, I'm still gonna go for the first 3. Now lets get it!

Past Tense, you're fortunate in a lot of regards man, you float a line that not many MC's can float. Your story type tracks have substance and you can still do clubby tracks. Your voice is clear and distinct and only sounds like yours, so it's easily recognizable. You're pretty skilled with hooks, but based on those 3 songs you might start to sound redundant after an album full of songs because they're all done in a relativley similar fashion. Also, I noticed that you rely on full overdubs on slower songs, which is great when used sparingly, but typically you'll want to use less layers on the more meaningful songs and just come in with adlibs. You have a bassy voice, you just have to learn how to use it in a solo form to give your overall style more reach and variety. I think right now, as an artist, your fanbase could be a wide variety of people, from thuggas to the ladies and back. You have a story to tell that you should be putting out more to reinforce the image of you. Musically, you discuss who you were, and who you are, but you need to delve more of the termoil in the transitions. People connect to that pain. Personally, I'd like to see some tracks on topics you havent' done before, or add some writing elements that you dont' currently use much just for spontainaity and to throw that surprise factor into the mix. You know, tread a little more on the outskirts of your comfort zone. You already have the ability. You could get a venue at most clubs, musically speaking, I don't know much about your image, body language or personal presentation. You'd do well from a few hype tracks with some heavy lyrical attacks like multis or rhyme scheme juggling. You could hop on a song with anyone. Definitely one of the more consistently good artists. Just a little a little fine tuning to your actual catalog of songs and you'd be pretty much a finished product ready for marketing.

Soc, or Phantom or "Logic" or [insert your preffered name]. You'd benefit from some EQing. Some of your punches in this submission were kinda flat, sounded like you were just going though the motions. Some of the flow was rushed to get all the syls in one line which some word replacement and syl conservation would easily repair. You have a voice that you can do stuff with, but you don't know how to use it to even a quarter it's potential, mostly because of lackluster recording gear. Your beat choices are "underground" style and many people wont like them. Types of beats that were in style in the mid to late 90's but are a little clapped out today. You'd benefit substantially from different beats in the same moods as the ones you're selecting, as well as some gear that'll reinforce your voice instead of just forcing it. Right now, I wouldn't say that you're "marketable" to a large audience. Pretty much small select audiences or particular target markets, like people who like their hip hop "light". Not to say that you lack content, just that your music is considered 'light rap', which carries with it a small and particular demograpghic, mostly found on the net. Purists to some extents, out-of-the-loop in other extents. Your potential fanbase will swell when you pull away from these "deep" tracks and expand your catalog. You have to break that 'average' of "another deep track" since no one will want to listen to just that all the time, deep tracks are only listened to SOME of the time, whne they're appropriate. Also, stop making excuses for roughspots in your songs, just correct them. You can't progress by halfassing. BTW, this sounds more like 24 bars. at 91bpm, the beat goes on for 28 bars, and you spit for 24 of them.

scott Eti sorry man, your quality makes it impossible to accurately observe your ability. There's too much sound bleed on that E C diss. That song Curious is a little clearer, mainly because you kept the adlibs off. You gotta step your mixing game up before you're ready for this thread man, cuz as it is with quality like you're not gonna be marketable in any market due to sound quality alone. On that song "pull your self together" it sounds like your lyrics are too sparse over the beat so you have huge gaps inbetween the words which robs you of fluidity and therefore a "flow". seems to be a common factor in your tracks too, more prevelant on some songs than it is on others. This is about the most I can say for you right now with all things considered. 1
