Really Need Help

Hello everyone.
I've been producing for over 3 years now. Recently I've grown tired of doing dubstep and want to transition to doing rap.
My problem isn't really writing, or flow, I think I have these things down decently as I used to sing a lot, write rock/metal lyrics, etc.
My problem I feel is my voice.
Here's something I did the other day: https://soundcloud.com/techronix/wip2/s-CyunB

Now this isn't really the style I'm wanting to do though.
I want to do stuff like this: https://youtu.be/jSAwWrbdoEQ
Game's style in particular, I really like 2005 era west coast rap,most of the stuff Dr. Dre has produced, etc.
Do you think I can effectively do music in this style with my voice? Any tips? Any help is greatly appreciated. :)
 
Hi ! Voice isn't a problem If It's about rap. This is a genre of music, where lyrics are the most valuable thing. If you want to send a message, you don't need to wrap It in glittering paper. ;) Here is a tip that I learned by myself. If you want to catch a "flow" you must write a lot and I'm not talking about rap only. Write poems(especially, even the most stupid ones) and maybe, not books, but you know what I mean behind that. Writing is something that you must train, as well as instruments. Write in a train, on a toilet, in a bus, everywhere and maybe someday you'll write lyrics like Alex Turner or Dr.Dre. :) Remember that talent is 1% and 99% is hard work. ( read a lot as well )

Focus on the story you wanna tell your listeners! There's no wrong or right way to do this, it's a personal matter. Your voice doesn't need to sound like notorious rappers or singers, it just has to show itself for what it is, weaknesses included. Your goal should be to project every shade of color you have on the inside when singing a particular line. This way, believe me, you'll really be appreciated! :o
