    Please give me some good constructive criticism. I am not very good at rapping. Yet ;). As this is the first decent sized rap I've ever wrote haha, sorry about the topic if you're not interested, but please tell me what I should work on and what I did good. Thanks Blades :smoke:


    Rockefeller, lock his cellar... This man is, an evil dweller.
    I once sent this bitch a letter, just askin for some cheddar.
    For my little brother, the one without a mother
    or a lover..
    This kid is alone I don't want my man to suffer.

    I then got a letter back, explaining the attack on the twin towers,
    I sat down and studied this shit for hours.
    Pray the next day hopein that this shit is not real
    Turn on the news and hear the newscaster fuckin squeal
    "The Towers are down, they have both fallen"
    Well those were my dreams callin
    Realized my head is not so small then

    You see it was all planned out
    The government blew em up
    An airplanes not even stong enough
    THEY JUST DONT GIVE A FUCK
    about you.
    It's the money their after.
    not the cure for the flu
    You're the glue
    that's holdin em together
    you need to stop being that
    and we'll see a change in that weather.
    put down the gat
    you just gotta stay clever

    I met this girl named Heather,
    and she told me about this lever.
    Called illuminati
    the devil traps your soul, and forces your body
    to be evil, even if there is a sequal.
    once you're in you're trapped,
    you'll never go back
    yea it's whack
    you just gotta rap

    For this stupid record label
    You hate this shit so much
    You're on every commercial on cable
    Suicide doesn't seem so rough
    And now it's very tough

    to sleep
    Without that pill
    This is a constant up hill
    They put your head up to a drill
    not to fill, but to empty

    I wish the government didn't tempt me

    I was flowing it with this beat: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEBeOJ5r7Tc&feature=related]Jay-Z - Renegade Instrumental - YouTube[/ame]
     
  2. Great topic. The fools of this country need to open their eyes to something more than a tv screen.

    Your lyrical content only empowers your topic. Not too wordy, but you say enough to get the point across while still keeping a steady rhyming pattern. (The basis of good rap/music in general) And you didnt go too hard with curse words which is always good. It doesnt matter what youre talking about, if you muddy your wordplay up with profanity or if you dont use it right the whole thing loses impact(depending on the listener of course.)

    All in all I'd say you've gotta pretty good handle on raps and rhymes. People tend to sleep on these kinds of raps cuz of the message they carry. I dont know what kind of success youre looking for(mainstream, underground) but expect more people against your message than for it. Blame society's brainwashing for that.

    All I have to say is keep rapping. Simply keep rapping. Metaphors, flow switches, and all that shit will come as naturally as walking. As long as you keep the mindset that youre the best at what you do, thats exactly what you'll be. And that confidence will show itself in your words everytime.
     
  3. Here's a piece of advice you don't gotta rhyme to have flow. Let that one sink in for a minute.
     
  4. That maybe true to an extent but you gotta rhyme to have a rap and your rap has to flow to be called music. It all goes hand in hand
     
  5. [quote name='"ColdToker420"']That maybe true to an extent but you gotta rhyme to have a rap and your rap has to flow to be called music. It all goes hand in hand[/quote]

    No you don't lol flow to be called music?

    Please for your own sake lay off the weed it's turned you into a cabbage head
     
  6. When I said has to flow to be called music I wasnt speaking entirely in literal sense. But if your words dont flow with your instrumental your craft most likely needs work. Do you know of any successful rappers who make a living with music that's off-beat?

    You just agreed with what I said originally lol

    You don't have to rhyme to have flow though that's all I said...
     
  8. Sounds very Eminem-ish, good work. Don't forget to complain about your daughter's upbringing and environment.
     
  9. Was atmosphere of immortal technique one of your main influences? Seems very much like them.
     
  10. Na I can flow this on my own, not my problem. Just wondering how I can get better at rhyming and just rapping. This is pretty much the first rap I've ever wrote. and Rashid, maybe I'll make a song about my abuse mother another time :p.

    I think he's saying if your rap doesn't flow it's not music, which is true if it doesn't flow then it's just a bunch of mixed up choppy words to a beat. And rhyming makes the flow sound 10x better.

    Ehh sorta, I guess almost all underground rap, and different genres are what really influence me..

    If you're a shitty lyricist you'd believe that..

    Trust me plenty artists don't rhyme back to back. It's all about content...

    Near rhymes are used ALL the time.
     

  14. I know you can rhyme words just by pronouncing them differently.. I don't really get what you're trying to say.
