But that's just how we fuckin' roll. Aint just an image ;) Thanks for the review bro.
Ipod worthy!
I like your message, the flow isnt too bad. I gott love the Nietzlawe beat, Im currenlty working with one of his beats. Im gonna put this track on my Ipod so I can listen to it good. I gotta show respect to a fellow Canadian, peace bro!
RoobyKillAll responds:
Hey thanks a lot bro. Makes me feel good about this when I hear about people actually putting this on cd's and mp3 players off NG. Nietzlawe's got hot tracks, what can I say?
Can a Canadian get an éhmen yet?
um...
I like the this is how it starts this is how it ends. get the 5 out the way 4.37 / 5.00 (+ 0.019) and um i hope you know a nickel is 5 dollars worth of weed... plus bro ive been telling u everything all ur "constructive critiscism" told you... you just didnt listen... listen 2 Dex when he puts wut i was dissing you about into non disrespectful words saying "flow isnt supposed to go up and down"... im not gna point out wut else was said... cuz i kno u kno... im not tryin 2 b a dick tho, its just that i dont think u understand why people battle... it's pretty much like constructive critiscism on which u can build on as long as you catch on, anyways keep at it, you're getting better,
Keep it pimpin'
BN out

We call 5 bucks worth of weed a 5 piece here in lower Ontario. I hope you know. lol lingo's different everywhere you go. A dime is 10 bucks worth of weed here.
Flow is supposed to go up and down. I can't stand all these monotone rappers anymore. So if y'all don't like listening to a little melody in my songs, I'm not mad. Just the style I wanna work on. Listen to Astronautalis, or Input. I'm not doing the stereotypical raps here.
If battling is about constructive criticism why is it all your battle raps are just insults? That's deconstructive criticism.
Anyways, appreciate the good review though dude. I don't really feel like spending any energy on beef while I try and do my own thing for this album. And I know you're not trying to be a dick.
Keepin' it pimpin'
Rooby.22s out ;D
Constructive Criticism from ya boy DeX
I do have a couple of things to say and first off, in my opinion you should really keep the name of your album short and simple, of course it is your album and you can do as you please but in all honesty I think it would sound better as "Nickels and Rhymes," kind of like replacing the original statement of "Nickels and Dimes." I like your passion and the way you really try to get into the song, but you should tone down your flow a little, remember that Hip Hop flows usually don't go up and down but rather emphasize on certain parts of the songs, most of the time being the parts where you begin a rhyme scheme and end it.
What I enjoyed most in this track are the lyrics and I think you have the "Hip Hop state of mind" so-to-speak. I myself as an artist respect what you're trying to do because I'm trying to do the same, show people that Hip Hop ain't just about money, cars and hoes (the occasional violent rap isn't bad, just be creative with the way you express yourself.) Honestly, I don't think you should release your album just yet, be patient. Improve yourself before you make an album, me and my boy Burly have been in the game for about 5 or 6 years now but have yet to release an album (mostly due to the amount of time) but we want to release a couple of tracks here and there before we do so. iight man, keep doing your thing, stay up.
RoobyKillAll responds:
Thanks a lot man. And yeah Nickels and Rhymes would sound good, but I can't get rid of the "Dimes" part for it's double meaning. Dimes being currency and used in drug lingo, which has been a massive part of my surrounding world. Nickels, having the double meaning for a gat or something. Nickel nines, which have turned up a few times in my life also. Nickels, Dimes, and Rhymes.
Yeah this is how I like to rap. I used to do a lot of singing as a kid and I want to start working on more melodic raps. There's too much shit out there that sounds the same and I want to get my own style down pat.
Mad respect for being in the game for that long. But I'm kind of pressured to figure out ways to make money right now since there are very few jobs accessible to me, being a highschool drop out of a failed system. My own fault really. But just freelance tattooing right now isn't enough to keep me comfortable so I figure I can give an album a shot, get some of my boys on the tracks and distribute it locally so I can at least have some peanut butter and jam with my bread. Haha!
But yeah, definitely appreciate you, and everyone else, for dropping real reviews. If I'm actually going to make this work I need real constructive criticism like I've been getting.
Fucking love NG.
Damn.
Good shit, Msg me when you get your album done. This track is ridculous.
RoobyKillAll responds:
Thanks man appreciate it.
