Ok. I listened to it.

This is going to sound bad, so i don't want you to take it personally.

You obviously have a lot of talent and have used it, but I can't for the life of me figure out why most hip hop has to be about the artist. What purpose does it serve to tell the audience how badassed you are supposed to be?

"I must be fuckin' insane,
that's why I jump outta planes."

I dunno. That and a lot of other lines sound like you're trying to impress somebody, but to me it just sounds like so much posing.

Seems to me that all of this would be far more effective if you described the experience rather than the player. If you speak the truth about the subject, people will respect you for that.

That is the essence of True Hip Hop. Period.

Maybe they should be more EMO like half the crap "alternative" on the mainstream airwaves.

You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

To me, hip hop was at its best between 88 and 94 (Tribe, Brand Nubian, Eric B & Rakim, Public Enemy, Del the Funkee Homosapien, Digable Planets, Roots...etc) and kinda went downhill from there.

Not really into today's hip hop, but your stuff is well done, enjoyed listening to it.

Please share your track about skydiving when you've got it ready, I'd be interested in hearing.

Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.
