Firstly, excellent beat choice. I mean, it's a minor thing that ends up destroying or making a song. In this case, it was perfect. I believe the last song of yours I listened to was one of the better ones I've heard on this site, and this one is a major leap forward. Your lyrics are phenomenally on topic, and were thoroughly good. There wasn't a single part of the verse that felt boring or unnecessary. Your flow was almost perfect, falling off only a few times (for several milliseconds at worst) in the second verse. Otherwise, I enjoyed the whole thing. Your accent is actually enjoyable, and if anything relaxing to listen to. It's very easy to understand everything you say and that makes for a good sounding track.
It's difficult for me to determine whether or not this is your personal best, but as far as music on TR goes, in overall consistency (lyrics, flow, quality (although slightly lacking, is still manageable and easily tolerable), structure, creativity & imagery, and finally interesting content) you're in the lead.
Some lines that stood out from the rest and in my opinion the "quotable" lines of this piece:
Got these lengthy bars, with a wit and depth that's smart
But if i sew the seeds of hatred then that's all i'll get to farm
And these are poison crops, i need them auctioned off
No-one'll buy them, so i'll burn the house and torch the lot'
Not only is the rhyming great, but the under-the-breath farm metaphor (as ridiculous as that sounds) is actually amazing.
I can imagine it happening, can't foreshadow why and
This is not just more babbling about the "angst of life" it's
Just the fact i got fistfucked by the hands of time's fists
The meaning I get from pieces like this is so relatable it makes me feel like I was part of the writing process.
Focus on the past, so they never let the future change
Enough said... Again, it's a line that brings me back to the first verse emotion wise, which makes me feel like the song was written with the intention of being fluid.
I'm ready to jump to the top, but don't have feet willing
My brain is like, "you as a rapper? Don't be silly!"
And i could never predict it,
Never would have even thought that i'd ever have been destined to spit it
This is a mostly generic concept, but you managed to make it sound fresh.
The parts where you change your voice slightly for a certain line make the song feel fresh. You don't do it often, and I don't even know if it's on purpose, but again, it helps with the fluidity of the song as a whole.
Anyway, in my opinion this is a 10/10 from a forum review standpoint, and a 8.5/10 from a music standpoint. It would easily be a 9/10 if it weren't for the lack of quality.
