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.
