<3 Let me start by thanking everyone who has already posted, supported, and helped me - I will never forget the roots, for they are the foundation.

On that note...

How do I need your help? - I've entered a contest and possibly have a prospect of being labeled. I've been contacted by A&R workers - please know that my music is underground 100% and does not have a producer of an labels caliber helping me - Other people in the contest fall all around in different skill levels. I have no idea if I'll win, lose, or just get laughed at even. I know my music isn't the best, but I also know it's not the worst. So, cutting to the point -
I need help from people sharing this with friends. The A&R want to see more variety of people viewing it and see what the initial response is. I wouldn't have either of these songs on an album if I was signed.

Why I need your help: - You may have heard him referred to as "King" - He is my aim in the industry. You guys may truly believe everyone has an equal shot as success in media, but I am here to tell you now - It's not true. This "King" has made sure some media tycoons and artists have been imprisoned, killed, and of course he is THE CAREER ENDER. A prime example of this would be T.I - These artists who have been punished also realize once they have been punished, there is no reason to fight. Not all, but some artists do fight back as much as they can.

If you are not apart of the 'family' you don't have a chance. Acceptance into the family is hell.

Why am I apart of the family? - No way for you to know 100% until this entire fiasco is over. Some people see me as a nobody who makes nobody kind of music. There is a reason for it. I do this to prove a point. That even a nobody can have a voice.

I may be a Nobody... but when I was growing up... I knew a man could change his stars. The sacrifices made to keep me alive, and able to help me live, was proof enough.

So, you guys like conspiracies that are true.. This is your chance to prove that mass-media is not a conspiracy, but truth.

Help share a message, help an upcoming artist, and support the freedom of the artists that exist now.

Between the elections, big business, and mass-media - We have serious issues -

I'll run and I'll run and I'll run... For you. I'll never stop.

I would like to have a chance, and not only me... but others as well.

Thank you for your time and patience while reading this. I understand many people will be skeptical but... You never know until you try!

if this was 1998,99,00,01 even 02 I'd say hey that's cool, but, in my opinion this "style" of "rap/hiphop" is kinda become passe'

You could take these same loops and try to "experiment" with different beats to develop a different flavor

If we listen to dub step, thats all it really is, a derivative of hip hop with x2rythm meters over each other and the adition of fat moog "wubba" synth sounds....really thats all dub is to me...and so as "new" as that is...its already old.

In your voice I hear that you are not very old, this is good, its never too late to break the mold, chances are better the younger you are, there is more time.

What I want to impart to you are these 2 things

1. If you are serious about trying to become an artist with sales, you need to be realistic about "changes" in styles and generations....I feel, and I think many others, that this style of looped beats with "rapping" over the top is kinda "done"....It'd be like being in a disco band in 1092, you would have needed to know when to change to something else, elsewise get religated to "passe"

2. I would like to challenge you, as a song writter. I would like you keep these same lyrics, modify them for sytax if needed, and keep the same basic chord progression and try to write the same song in say 3 different styles and or mash some other elements from other styles into what you already have. I feeling the basic thing, I would just like the format to be less "99" sounding....

I think if you modify your style some it won't sound so has been done before.

It is very easy to be good, it is very hard to be original

You should be open minded, as a musician to many various styles, all styles, sounds and tones...

Be true to what you are, like the "roots" of the music that made you the musician you are today, but also be aware of the changing of the tide and cultural realities related to how the "public" always crave something "new"

You must understand as "real" as hip hop and rap was/is....it was also a tool beig used by the nwo for several different benefits.

To spur shallow consumerism, bling,bitches,rims and shit was all part of the plan, and as we see, society fell right into it, to which VISA thanks you dearly. But now as we see the reality of the depression linger on, we now veiw it as "shallow" to be concerned about material things, cause, well basically your all broke

Look at how the NWO is using Macklemore....and his "poppin tags" song....

didn't you know? its cool to be ghetto ass poor now and shop at thrift stores..... Lmao

just keep writing, but I challenge you to expand your style....keep it the same, and some different elements....

Remember the only difference between a screwdriver and a straight up glass of vodka is the orange juice....just one simple thing changes the whole thing

always remember that

I have never heard of that!

Thank you~

And thanks to the others man.. <3

Not bad, keep it up.
And for feedback: I think you need to work on the rap and lyrics, like fewer words for a song like that. The amount of words sometimes seem to overwhelm or sound monotonous which takes abit of the feeling/emotion of the song/melody away.

Excellent job! I dig it. Love the beat and the lyrics.
The only bit of constructive criticism would be to be a bit more forceful or confident in your flow. Let the emotion flow through your words. Let it come from your diaphragm not your throat. Otherwise it was very good! Looking forward to more.
