I actually caught the flow the first time. I always read lyrics with beats posted, but on this occasion I was listening to Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangster and it flowed well, some parts were sped up but it wasn't random, it was placed well on a beat. I can't listen to beats right now due to power restraints on my CPU, but for this it worked well with what was playing in the background. For this piece itself, always nice rhyming. I like this topic because it's usually always a mystery to guess what it is until the end. After I checked the end it all made sense haha.

I almost thought of it when the laced your fate part came up, but then I was like "Ehhh" haha. But I liked this, the flow on this was one of my favorites of yours because I got it so quickly, it was awesome.

It flows quite well, but in all honesty I can't stand the opening line: 'you've never mentioned a better flow'. It sounds awkward; the vast majority of people don't mention flows, they listen to them. Indeed, when something get's a mention you're referring to it briefly, so in that one line you've inadvertently suggested your flow verges on forgettable.

Nice experiment, Geno. Best of the Day 8 pieces that I've read. I caught the flow, it was nice. Like Hawk said, I didn't really like that first line. It feels very generic to me.

It flows very well, but the choice of words is a bit silly. You're saying your flow is only talked about briefly, whereas you should really be saying that it's something more than that.

Just my 2P.
