Ego ft. D. Dubs - I'll Do Me

[JamaicanPattlez]

My lord, you guys improve with every drop. This is awesome. First, I'm going to point out Geno's bar scheme how you did ABAB. I've NEVER used that, so seeing you do it caught me off guard. The verse flowed pretty great, and was solid. Alieus, as usual, your vocabulary's incredible. I've also noticed on some lines you relied on the main sound to rhyme, for example "odd" and "far". It sounds unusual to me since I haven't consciously done it, but it works. Well done. As for Dubs, I really liked your verse, especially the small lines. I haven't used those either and it sounds real nice here. Verse was great and I have no real criticism for you.

[JamaicanPattlez]

No problem man, I learned lots from this piece. Time to figure out what to cook up.

[mdemaz]

Good chemistry here..
I listened to some of Dubs' tracks from Unknown and imagined Geno's/Menzo's voice...Which I haven't heard..Spitting with it and I get a boner.

You guys need to start recording man..Who cares if it sucks, perfect it.
Get a demo out.

You got a massive catalog of pieces already..It's basically the template for a debut LP.

Go for it dudes.
Practice practice practice, learn audio and bang!

Cheers.

Thanks man. Yeah, some of the words might sound a bit unusual but as you probably have guessed, I've got it down to a T when saying it out loud. I'm always trying to keep my ear open for those things, gives more opportunistic windows to rhyme

Glad you feel like you can learn things from this, hearing things like that much more satisfying and rewarding then a thousand 'dope' remarks.

No problem man, it actually opens my mind more to what I can utilize to my arsenal of rhymes. Like for me being a beginner, I wouldn't think of that so easily. It'd take me a while, lmao. So seeing this makes me go "Ohh, okay!" and try to assimilate that type of skill usage.

[Sam.]

This is a perfect example of consistency in my eyes.

I don't even need to breakdown each one of you to give feed because I've something similar to say to all three of you(in a way). All three of you had something unique to say, the individual flows that you guys had was really good and was well executed.

Content wise I think Emady took this one, I liked his Punches. Geno had a straight forward "in the face" type of Verse, I liked the Vibe that I got from your Verse.

Menzo had an emotional feel to it, which was dope. I really like how you approach the Title and always manage to give a different point of view of things.

Dreams your mother said that you would never make
No reasons other than, “Yeah, over my restin’ place”

Loved those lines man.

Awesome display of Vocab by you guys, like always(It's something that I always say 'cuz that's the strength that makes Ego strong).This applies to Emady too.

Everyone managed to bring a dope Multi game and no one was lacking in this. Although Menzo made it a little difficult at times for me, but it was obvious to me as to what was needed to be done with them, so it all cool.

Keep slayin 'em ~ Eminem

[Sam.]

Ha ha! That's crazy I tell ya, I read his Verse cautiously to get everything properly.
Good going Menzino.

[Emadyville]

Thanks everyone

geno you still have the link to my recorded version? If so can you post it

[Emadyville]

Word, I do...Well I don't.

I have the verse in my iTunes so I guess I can upload it to mediafire but then people would have to DL it. Any ideas?

That'd be fine if you don't mind doing it, if they wanna dl they can, if not no biggie. Appreciate it homie

Emady's Audio

[Geno]

When you say "overcome the odds" I just focus on the job,
Pokin' at you sobs, when you talk, until it blows back,
Emotions almost robbed from all the locust I done stopped,
Rollin' to the top, through the fog, like I smoked that,
My flow is off the rocker, I stop and then I start it,
Most honest unknown artist paying homage to Marshall,
Like a bomb in a parcel, I blow up upon delivery,
I still Throw It Up like I swallowed all my Mickey Dees,
Drama doesn't stick to me, everybody's quick to judge,
Piss on love, miss a hug, regret it and then kick up dust,
I ain't one to give my trust, I just keep it you and me,
Ain't no secrets fooling me, can't we let the truest speak?
We're a few emcees trying to make some entertainment,
Maybe make you move your feet, embracing when we say that,
I don't face no limitations when debating what to shoot for,
I just pace my every tape so I can take it straight to brute force.

[Chorus A - Alieus]

The hate is all around and is always ever growing
Just waiting now to pounce, but a flaw is never showing
The sun may go down but this moment's for the moonlight
So come and reign clouds, I'll do me until the tune dies.

[Chorus B - Geno]

Turn the mics on, hit the lights, pull curtains up,
As the night draws, you decide, are the words enough?
The sun has gone down, grab a drink, let the moon shine,
It's us all night now, I'll do me until the tune dies.

[Alieus]

There’s one dreaded name we wish to never face
Where one testin’ fate is dissed and gettin’ hate
They aim to sequestrate the parade that your head creates
And set the record straight, to feed on dead, decayed
Dreams your mother said that you would never make
No reasons other than, “Yeah, over my restin’ place”
I think it’s not fair, I’m lost but let me say
Just stop and stare and watch me escalate
Step aside and let me rise, for those who said I’m plain
Guess that’s why I wreck the sky, airborne with metal wings
I’ve warned with plenty patience, I’m right where I belong so
I have no future so I’ll write like no tomorrow
I count my odds in evens and even though it’s odd
I’m proud of all my demons I’ve beaten to get this far
The clouds are now depleting and I’m fiending for the top
To sit down and reap rewards while you steaming like a pot

[Chorus A & B]

[D. Dubs]

Is life really a path uphill and a buzzkill,
And should I just write another fuckin Love Will,
Or should I take the roads chosen astray,
Live a blunt life and just end up in an ashtray,
Or hit fast play and let it all flash away,
A pathway where facts pay me back only halfway,
I’m in it for the long run so a song done,
Can never be the wrong one yeah come along son...
I remember back when beginner’s fate,
Was blindfolded and placed on the interstate,
It was hard to swallow, yeah a bitter taste,
But I didn’t hate and ate what the sinner’s ate,
Now I’m back for revenge all winter break,
And it’s a cold dish served on your dinner plate’s,
So all the good times I flooded out,
And gutted out,
But what about,
The best...shit, you know who done it now.

[Chorus A & B]

Everyone went hard in their own way on this. Every verse flowed flawlessly, and to me that was the highlight of this piece: the flow. Geno and Alieus, you guys came hard on a technical level as usual...nothing new, always killin' shit.

I also loved the idea of having 2 separate hooks, nice little touch up.


D. Dubs, I don't think I've ever read a piece from you, but this surprised me. It was dope, and you managed to keep up with Ego, so that right there alone is amazing.


All 3 of you did a nice job, it seems everyone was on the right page. The chemistry/flow/technicalities of this track are all on point.

Keep it up guys.


Alieus and D. Dubs, mind feeding mine? viewtopic.php?f=24&t=137111

[CrashBand]

Firstly, flow was on point! it went so smoothly for me over that beat

You guys have great chemistry on tracks together, would be great to hear menzo and geno verses audio too


Loved the rhyme scheme of the first four bars of Ego's verse probably my favourite bars of the peice (I liked the idea of the 'robbed emotions' in those bars too haha)

on menzo's verse, thanks for the tip to speed that line up, i definitely tripped there the first time I went over it

thought it was a very solid verse, I think it might be my accent but i found the metal wings rhyme was a little forced. Other then that multis were awesome
and yeah vocab, I didnt even know what the fuck sequestrate is haha
I liked the "no future-write like no tomrw' line

finally d.dubs verse. I think im too late to hear the audio which sucks, dope verse though.
rhyming and flow were great, i feel personally the blunt wordplay you use is a little overused but i thought you executed it.

yeah, dont really know who took this one out sorry guys..
