* This is an official 2017 NGUAC review *

Haha yeah what @TaintedLogic said - you definitely caused a stir. I for one loved the lyrics. I get such a Slim Shady-era Eminem vibe. Anyways, on to specifics...

Mixing, mastering and production: This was the real killer for your scores. In terms of mix, I can hear that all the IDEAS are there - but the execution isn't. Really great ideas.
So first thing in a mix is we want to look at base quality. Every instrument should be clear and audible, and ideally sound satisfying. With a rap song, this is super, super important for the vocals. I could hear all the words but it's pretty obvious that you were just recording with a very basic mic. There were also several points where you caused some clipping. So be careful with your recording, especially when you're close to the mic. Once you're done recording, make sure you listen to everything you recorded and re-record it if it clips at any point.
Once you're recorded, the vocals definitely need some work in post-production. Good use of EQing, reverb, a compressor will go a long way.
Every instrument you use should be carefully EQ'd and reverbed so they sound consistent, together, and clear (unless you're intentionally making them sound fuzzy or something).
Generally you panned stuff pretty well but I could've used a bit more in the verses where you were doubling vocals or doing callbacks with yourself. You've got 100 to the left and 100 to the right to work with so make sure to use them! Don't be afraid to pan all the to one direction if you need to.

Mastering is another crucial step. Good use of a multiband compressor, EQ, maximizer and limiter will go a long way. For a song like Hoes, you want a big, thick, tasty master. So play around with mixing and mastering and never stop trying to improve!

Composition: Real solid lyrics and flow. Awesome rhymes too. Seriously. Two of my favourites: "You fargin' iceholes" "I'll make you sick of me - I already am (awesome callback)"
Pretty good harmony and texture too. It sounds full, it's got that kind of goofy, bouncy, character that matches the lyrical content.
The structure and progression was decent, but it didn't do much to surprise me. Intro, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, outro. I've heard it a million times before. Don't be afraid to experiment!
The atmosphere and emotion were okay, but they suffered from the mixing and production issues I mentioned above. It's hard to get in to the track and be in the emotional headspace when there are technical issues holding you back.

Hope this all helped! Keep spitting bars.

Dude, I'm not judging your group, but I gotta say - you've caused quite a stir in the judges' doc. This piece is hilarious. Excellent articulation and delivery on the vocals. You clearly are a talented rapper. The instrumental is a bit lacking in variety, but the mix is clean. Unfortunately, I'm not sure a piece that clearly has comedic intentions is appropriate for the NGUAC, but for what it is it's a really enjoyable track. Keep doing you, man. ;)

Lmfaoooooooo the hook wavy tho

Nice job greenskull! nice rap on topic and very clear for fast flow.
