* real feedback, 100% honest, in no way attacking you, giving you feedback that will HELP you , take it as you want *
hey, did you buy any beats?, own rights to any. well heres my review
for an lp, your mixed quality bitrates aint that orthadox, keep a consistant kbps throughout, LPs need proper mastering.
also your track numbering and lack of info on some songs look like you rushed putting it together.
1 - nice effect on the intro, funny ending to it lol
2 - cool beat, chorus effect woulda been cool,no,actually sounds ok, verses on point, I like your lyrics on this.
3 - again, nice selection of beats, old school feel is the shiz, your vocals way to loud on this, flow is cool,lyrics compliment it, great song.
4 - this beat is pretty good, chorus sounds alil unclear,nice syncin with beat melody, your verses again sound on point, IMO you needed a stronger chorus tho for this track to stand out,this song is not bad,but its not great either.
5 - here we go, great beat, i noticed you need some de essing, more controlled limiting on your quality, but yeh, so far on this entire cd your verses are always good, your hook on this, sounds alil dull, work on some pronunciation but overall its listenable.
6 - omg beats like this,i fucken hate them, but yeh, ill be unbias with this, again, you need to rethink your making of hooks, the chorus is the part that is the memorable part almost all the time, something to rap/sing along to, need it nice, you work hard on your verses i think, again nice work on the verses. you rushed some lines tho, goin from fast to normal, didnt sound nice, then normal to slow, not consistent.
7 - the point of an LP, is, that you 100% own it lol, shook ones beat just made this a LP a mixtape, next time be clearer in your understanding of things, like before,rushed alota lines,then went to slow,sounds like yous had fun tho, not bad, dont make voice overs and adlibs so loud raw.
8 - WAY to loud, but yeh, mixtape so its not bad lol, nice choice of skit tho.
9 - i like this beat, you sampled audios from other songs, again, dont do anything like that if you didnt get rights lol, BUT its a mixtape so its ok, I hate doing this contrast. Reverb on this song is nice,gives it nice feeling, verses works for me.
10 - beat choice is ace, i like it , the chorus doesnt work for me, lacks some creativity , your verses are good, but again, sounds like you lisping some words,work on that.
11 - another mixtape track, i dislike this beat lol, chorus doesnt work for me, your verses ,like your other songs is straight.
12 - again,another mixtape song lol, i liked this beat, your vocals sound low, slight amplifyin wounda worked better, lyrics are nice and the stand out, good job on flow.
13 - i like how you was rapping while the beat was building, sounded cool, hook didnt work for me , verses are good ( see a pattern? )
14 - nice beat , lyrics and verses cool, noticed some plosives, you seem to work hard on your lyrics, great stuff, flow matches.
15 - nice skit,real talk
16 - hell on earth, you used kanes music from wwe? lol sounds corney to me, beat kills me, beat is to LOUD, lyrics and flow is good tho, give you that, cept for the chorus. again, weak chorus.
17 - back on track, this song brings your mixtape back to buisness , i like this beat, lyrics and flow seem to be your strong point in this entire thing, good job, although, your flow on this seemed to lack sometimes, slightly, could be your writen strucutre tho, so its nothing major, i like how you made the hook, pausing to left time for thought, great song.
18 - the way i am beat lol, mixtape all over this, volume is to low, if you are making an lp, make sure, the listener doesnt have to ajust their volume every song to hear it. Lyrics is alright, chorus is not BAD,abit bad actually, which is tyical when using beats like this, coz u will be compared to the original, but for it is, it works.
19 - lol @ this skit, didnt work for me,
20 - mixtape song is alright , didnt like it at all, for a freestyle, needs work, flow aint that great here,doesnt seem like a beat that matches you, lyrics is the stand out.
OVERALL , this MIXTAPE, was enjoyable, no way in no form an LP, if you want to make a real lp, I can help you with that, just get at me, an indie LP, album you OWN, not a mixtape like this, also yes,your cover has amature writen all over it, if you drew it, cheers to you, but it seems to, "childish", and thats 100% honest , use some high quality pics next time, i dont know how long you been rapping for, but good work on the effort, next time do some research or ask around on how to put together an LP, like i said , get at me for more advice etc if you want, dont get offended by anything here, you need all positives and negatives, if people are to weak to tell you something sucks, you will go around thinking its a good way to do it etc, so yeh.
work on quality especially, buy a program that can master your songs propely, and learn some compression and equalisation, program presets usually suck, learning to make your own,to suit your mic and your voice is the best way, need help on that get at me.
Keep at it, lookin forward to future projects from you.
