Track by Track totally objective breakdown for you G. cause i'm a good man...

At first glance.. No tracklist 17 songs.. is too many.

track 1 is some country & western type loop with really poor double time raps on it.. i listened for like 40 seconds before skipping to the next song

track 2 is a REALLY bad synth beat.. I didnt even listen long enough for the raps to come on

track 3 is over an Alchemist beat.. which is listenable.. I don't like how you chopped and layered the A A A A A A A Alchemist drop over the intro as if you bought and paid for this beat.. That's extremely dull. The coup type flow and influence is evident.. this is bad

track 4 is a posse cut over a bad synth beat. I dunno.. next

track 5 Vincent price type laugh on the intro before a really poor synth beat drops.. I wish you stole more alchemist beats.. this is REAL bad

track 6 I forget whatever famous instrumental this is but its a bad look trying to remake it.. MIA maybe? whatever this shit is drivel

track 7 This is the first presentable beat, even though the aux percussion is really bad.. the hook is listenable, I like the melodic flow. the girl comes in too loud, poorly mixed but whatever it's only a mixtape. This is presentable.

track 8 just stop.. even attempting to rhyme on the aint no fun beat is dull.. next

track 9 a belly sample on the intro? really?

track 10 THEY WANNA EAT ME LIKE BALOGNA this is the worst song i've ever had the displeasure of hearing ever. Absolute garbage

track 11 ...

OK I have had enough. This "mixtape" is bad. This is a collage of soupy dreck disguised as some pimp shit. It's poorly written, poorly recorded, poorly mixed, poorly presented, and you should rethink your whole status as an artist. The beats are wack, the flow is lifeless on almost every song, and has very little variety. R&B hook, some weak winded girl raps that couldn't pull a deuce at a bowling alley in Idaho, and overall I'm upset I took the 4 minutes out of my life to give this an honest listen.. I hope you die for this offensive music.

The opinion of an egomaniacal slob with a virignal disposition is the last thing you should heed. Whatever this lard ass mother fucker advises - DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE. Botched Blockbuster heists combined with the sausagiest-finger-nubs greasing up sampler pads isn't a resume that screams 'Real-Life Experience' at you. Also keep in mind that this cocksucker has been and continues to be mocked all over the internet as a resounding failure at anything life.

Important-to-self, self-important mother fuckers (me included) aren't going to offer up a detailed review of your project. They'll obliterate any identifiable vestige of confidence or worth remaining in your music because they're bored. Knowhatimsayin?

You need to just drop the mixtape and roll the dice regarding the public's consensus of its quality.

employee, you just managed to articulate some shit that i've been trying to articulate for way too long. thank you for this.
on top of that, this may be the most non-negative thing i've ever seen you post.
i'm gonna pretend that you weren't just trying to spite vanderslice when you typed this out.

lyric, is there a way for you to embed a song or two? i'd give feedback on that, but i don't think i have the patience to sit at my computer to listen to a whole mixtape in this situation. if you handed me one, or mailed me one, yeah i'd peep in the car. but i if i downloaded this, i'd make it 5-10 minutes before i got distracted by porn sites. that's my relationship with this computer.

No for real, this is gospel, and not just cause Sean said so.

yeah man... i get inundated with so much music every day that i almost loathe when something comes my way, LOL. but you reeeeeeeally gotta have your shit together to get any momentum on any music you make these days. a diamond can easily get lost in the shit sauce. there's fucking 19 mixtapes dropping online today in the time it took for me to write this post.

which is why i haven't really been sharing much music lately.
lyric, never lose your confidence though. that's the essence of hip hop.
fuck anyone's opinion. get to the point of even saying "fuck your positive opinion, this creation exists regardless" and get it to the people who need it in their lives. the thoughts of everyone else are honestly meh.

including us. follow your heart, young Jedi

Mansfield, appreciate the listen homie. I know you of all people wouldn't dig this style of shit we working with but at least you managed to hear it out. I can embed a few tracks for a quick reference Sean but I uploaded the whole thing in case anyone was feeling it for real. It's not mixed down or mastered but I needed to get a general opinion

if its not mixed or mastered, don't even waste your time asking for opinions here. take it from someone who knows

you might want some "friends" to hear through the rough version fuzz and check for the beats and rhymes as they are now, but... those "friends" are not to be found here, homie.

either we tell you now, or you discover it the hard way

shine your shit, then throw it in people's faces. they will eat more of it that way

okay. i see now.
this is okay and wants to be good, but needs polish.
the singer is the best part of the first song.
your flow is cool, but the topics are all done before. if you speak on that, you gotta REALLY try to bring something different to it...
the beat is okay, nothing world changing, but not atrocious.
keep going...

Appreciate the listen and Mindbender, thanks for the feedback. I'm just trying to get an unbiased listen. All the feedback I've been given was from homies and whatnot.

truth. plus on

, its a speciality for muthafuckas to hate so, you won't get the serious feedback you're looking for a good portion of the time.

sean · Post by **sean** » Wed Mar 25, 2009 6:28 pm

my opinions are worthless in the grand scheme, but:

on the go.
didn't care for the singing all that much, but i didn't hate the female.
i though the verses were solid.
reminds me of some older living legends stuff.

positivity.
i like this beat better, but that's only because it was sample based.
verses were solid again.
this has less actual "song sensibility" than the other one.
reminded me of 1994.

i can't say that i would bump either of these, but ive heard much much worse. there is potential in all of these emcee's for sure.

either way both songs were more entertaining than the last diss song jim jones put out.

just keep at it, and keep refining your focus.
stay busy.
