Did you make the beat? I recognize the sample, but it's pretty nice. The rapping is nice, you sound sincere and your lyrics are ok. You fall off beat for some small parts, but it's good for the most part. Nice job on this, I can give you more in depth criticism if you tell me whether you did or the rapping or the beat. I recognize it's the I'm sorry sample and Akon hook, but I haven't heard the song in awhile so I don't know if it's the original instrumental.
I know i already posted this, however my old thread got locked up with all the new changes so it will be removed soon. This song is actually a Freestyle but it will be on my debut mixtape. I think this is my best work and will be the quality standard for the rest of the songs. What do you guys do with songs that don't make your mixtape, upload them to youtube? I just want to make sure that all of my music is of the quality where it cannot be laughed at.
Btw here is my mixtape art let me know what you think about this too.
Not sure if you recorded the vocals before or after mixing but I would have brought down the level of the drums a bit as they take away too much focus from the vocals currently. I like the message of your rapping and all you need is time.
Hey man, your vocals need to be mixed better. Get some adlibs and stuff in there, too to add a bit more ambiance. Other than that it's great...meaningful and from the heart. Don't give up. Keep going.
