use more compression with about a 3:1 ratio and you can probably back off the mic a little..are you even using a poper stoper?? man get at me on

It doesn't seem like you're really into the music, you gotta sound angry when you're talking about busting caps.

The music part was actually enjoyable enough to keep me interested, but definitely not the subject matter.

I guess I am a little biased towards hip hop culture, as I can't stand it. But geared for the right audience, I am sure they would like it. But a word of advice, the 'gangster rap' is kind of falling out of place.

But if you're really planning on killing people, then your subject matter is A OK!

But to be more helpful, I think that the only thing that really needs work is your voice. It fits the style, but you need a little more passion in it. From what it sounds like though it is more like a need for a better mic than anything else. Keep recording and when you can upgrade I'm sure it'll sound real good.

i think before you become that hot artist you have to find your sound on that mic..get that right and then you learn how to have proper mic control and express words naturaly without thinking about how you sound
