I know there are plenty of flaws to be sighted..but this first project of mine will really just be for me to learn, improve and accept criticism, suggestions, help and advice for next time, so things can be that much better. This is me asking for help.

New Track that I'm going to try to record ASAP, but the vocals aren't as easy as I thought to get down since the hooks require a certain level of consistancy/singing and the verses are fast paced.

Anyway, look forward to this one.

Track 4: "You Want To Defeat Me"
Instrumental: Unknown/Original
Total Time: 3:19

You want to see me bleed
You want to take what's mine

You want to defeat me
You challenge me with rhyme

You want to take my life
Fool, you will not survive

You want to reign supreme,
I will not allow you time

You want to see me bleed
You want to take what's mine

You want to defeat me
You challenge me with rhyme

You want to attain your dream,
No, this is the end of the line

Verse I
I'll crush you!
Threaten me, you won't forget,
The fine line drawn
between life and death,
Snipe you through breath, written in text,
Not frightened by lightning,
Strike me with Tecs,
My body will fall
my soul will raise,
I await for the day
we go our separate ways
until then, old friend, as you've become,
Since enemies should be
your closest ones,
I recognize death: cross of two bones,
The wisest of words: written on tombstones,
Anger and aim, revenge and a name,
Sparking the flame and erasing the sane!

You want to see me bleed
You want to take what's mine

You want to defeat me
You want to take my life
Fool, you will not survive

You want to reign supreme,
You want to attain your dream,
No, this is the end of the line

You want to end it now,
You want to undo time,
You are mine (x5)

Verse II
Blood, sweat,
Emotion and rage,
Devotion provides explosions on page,
Hopelessly caged,
The crow speaks of fame,
Millions and Billions,
Money all claimed,
Lose touch with life
for a touch of the dice,
One roll decides
survive
or snake eyes,
Givin' it up to God, livin' it up or not,
Yours, his and mine
Our burial plots,
Preparing or not? Just use what you got,
Remember: you only get one shot,
Make the first move and I'll respond,
Wars between worlds, designated by song.

>I speak briefly on rap songs that are basically disses/beef<
>Music closes, then restarts shortly, then fades out...<

It's looking good so far. I really like "You Want To Defeat Me" to improve it you might wanna put more emphasis into the hook. If you put more intesity into your voice and make a real sense of superioirty that track will really stand out.
Also in general I think you should focus on the length of your lines. Every now and then I'm hearing you speed up to make something fit. Don't, if it doesn't fit just change the line.
Like:
I await for the day
we go our separate ways

Changed to

I await for the day
we turn and part ways.

But better.

You're a ********' genius, bro. This is the kind of criticism I need, direct descriptions of what to improve on. He just explained to me that I need to make my lines less extended in order to not only make it easier for me, but also to fit in with the beat and timing as well. I can see that line actually making the whole s**t better, but I'm not going to go back and change any of these tracks, I'll leave them as they are to remind me of my stages through the learning process, you know?
So I can listen back and be like.."that was dope, but this is better."

You know? I don't want to go off and pull a Nas on myself. xd

@X - Sure, just come with an idea and possibly a hook/instrumental and I'd be willing to do it. Also, if you have any spare audio I could give a listen to, I'd be happy to hear it.

Hot s**t, Mak. -Listening to Intro-

Is this self-produced? If so, you got some good stuff goin' on from what I hear. I'd probably want to collab with you some time in the future if you're gonna keep it up.

I'm going to abandon this project and scrap all I've made and re-do the whole s**t from scratch. New approach, new philosophies, lyrics, style, everything...when I do it for real, I'm going to do it right. This s**t just wasn't right for me. Soon..
