thanks, yeah the only thing that pisses of me off is no one does tehre own beats. I do mine from scratch. No fruity loops bull shit. Ive played guitar and piano forever. I have my own studio and try to do my best.

Tradiotanlly most "talented" rap is mroe underground. The main stream stuff is all about stupid dances and shit.

Its just a hobby for me. I love playing shows, selling cds and shit. I dont expect to get big

for the most part i despise rap noise... reason being i feel 98% of it is absolute shit... and it does nothing but encourage a degenerate lifestyle... that being said there really are few true artists out there who do rap...

that being said, if you have to ask the question "should i persue rap?" your heart must not be in it... so no, not as a career you shouldn't. however, if you enjoy it do what makes you happy man.

Lyrically, it's practically the same as every other mainstream rapper. I pretty much agree with anyone who suggests that you change the subject matter, or at least switch it up every now and then.

As for the beats, you got the ideas right, but like many producers, it just lacks quality.

And for the record, I tend to critique small-time rappers really harsh, but for what it's worth, 'Hop in the Ride' was a decent song because the subject matter wasn't as generic as your other songs like 'Hit Em'.

pretty derivative sounding...

I mean "hit em high, hit em low" ???

good grief... it's produced well though, and I'd say you have some skills, but TBH it's pretty cliched..

I can see you getting gigs... I think there is an issue of artistic identity that you need to address, though.

Plus, Ace White... again, kind of unoriginal... IMHO

It all seems ridiculously played out to me and your stuff from what i heard did the same stuff. I would respect your stuff a lot more had the lyrics had some substance to them.

2 cents.
Exactly. It sounded prettty cliche. It wasn't terrible, unless your sick of hearing the same shit about money and hoes.
