:eek: did you really make this song? It sounds great I love it I could listen to it everyday ^_^ well except for the part where the two guys keep laughing and talking but the beat is sooo nice

Well I'm glad u like it...the instrumental actually Came from Samurai Champloo...and the two guys...that was all me, just changing my voice:cool:

yes I luv to rap over all kinds of beats..and I love challenging myself to write thought provoking lyrics

I will and thanks ...Sounds like ur a new fan huh?

I noticed you used Aruarian Dance from Nujabes lol
I love NUJABES!

I'm a big follower of hip hop so I may come off blunt.
The lyrics were good, I can tell you put thought into it,
but it doesn't feel genuine to me, what you rap about,
it sounds generic in a sense that anyone can rhyme....
don't take it too personally, I know youre starting out,
but overall it was okay. I like your voice for one, your flow
is pretty good but just the lyrics didn't really affect me or
anything which is something I expect for using Aruarian Dance!
That beat has so much depth in the loop itself.
As I said, overall it was okay and I do think your flow is smooth.

Just a little advice though, I know it as just a demo, but
when you use random noises like talking or laughing, you
might want to transition it a bit smoother. It was hard to
listen to the middle of the song when you guys start talking
randomly. I see what you're trying to do though, alot of rap
songs have a conversational transition, but you really have to
make it work.

Anyway sorry again if I come off a bit strong, but I am
a hip hop JUNKY, and I won't let it go too easily xP
You are an aspiring artist though, keep doing what you do
and you'll improve.

Hey thanks and I'll keep this in mind...and no hard feelings, In fact I'm glad u caught the instrumental, so thank u for words

It sounds really great!

Very cool. Looking forward to work with you someday. :)

ayo thunda thanks 4 that Bruh...And as for everyone I hope u all check out my upcoming mixtape "Meditative Millitants vol1:Insurgency"

hey Sphinx01, nicely done on that track dude.. im feelin it for real. Your voice is smooth and flow nice with the beat, i gotta say the instrumental was deep and promotes deep thinking, the lyrics goes well with the beat. Your voice sounds like the late Legend Big L, thats why i am so intrigued. But dont get it twisted, im not trying to define your style... your lyrics are unique and you have a smooth crisp flow thats what makes you nice for a rookie, what can i say? You have potential.

i gotta say, sorry to be the critic man; but the recording was pretty bad, not bad to the point it makes the track whack, but bad to the point your lyrics were hard to make out, and im a good listener. Your sequencing wasnt right there, as a poster said before me.. be smart when transitioning from rap to talking, heres a tip (im a rookie producer by the way), to make the conversation or voice overs stand out, add effects such as echo, pan, transpose.. do it all using good music softwares such as cubase and cakewalk.

Also slow down with the voices, leave a few moments for the people to think on it and breath, you throwing deep lines and not allowing us to have a few moments to take in your words, you nah mean? This track has potential to be a 5 min track if you add a chorus and a few hooks.

All in All, i like your style.. nice lyrics and metaphors and your flow has potential.. keep it up.

"trust is obsolete so my heart considers it deleted"
"if i dont dance with the weapon the battle is done"

do what you love doing, Hold tight Sphinx01 im down with real hiphop :D

dat shit is type hott kidd.

Thanks for ur words and tips..I'll be sure to get those programs...As I said before my time is never what I'd like it to be, and I'm always feeling rushed doing tracks on this laptop...overall these songs were rushed taking me about
15-20 minutes each

yeah you see what i mean? the longer you spend on making the track, the smoother the quality.. but yeah i also have respect for the people that make instant track, delivering the rawness.. but as a producer i like to take my time to perfect that record session; hitting every single note, or take my time to sequence and edit my beats so it sounds the way i want it.

Yeah respect to the guys on that DIY tip.. haha :D

Wow lol...U know my homie/producer who coincidentaly is named "DJ" is the same way as u...He just didn't have the time required to perfect and hates the rushed jobs really.

Ayo now u guys can click on the link in my post above and check out my Uni-Hop track....seriously for Hip-Hop fans
