this ones dope

i hear you sticking with the beat more. i think ur best rhythmic break from what you normally do was the "The soul collector, defected..." that line was a refreshing change of pace from how you normally take your pauses. you went back into the 1/1 kinda rhyme scheme afterwards but youv'e reached it. keep going for stuff like that and other flows. your clear and easy to understand and the lyrics are stable as always.

not much constructive feedback other than more spitting. youre really getting better with each track though

HeIsAlive responds:

Thanks man, the progress is slow, but I think im starting to see it as well.

Love the reviews man :D

yo, workaholics status

this shit's bananas, is it u on the beat? the first voice reminds me of beastie boys. real crazy like what the hell guys (in a good way)

[5.Driftwood Casket]

yo man found this on ng radio chat

pretty dope i like the dusty beat and smart lyrics.

[[H] - T.C.O.T.M.O.]

tighter, more abbreviation titles

i see youre verses are trimmed up a bit with not as much fluff. youre lyrics are easier to understand and flow smoother, although i still have to look up words to get some of your lines but they're better, keep makin them. you also have a hook or chorus which is cool cause it helps tie all of your ideas together. very big energy from the beat of course and also in the recording.

i still see ur tendency to keep a steady line of syllables throughout the beat. you have breaks and pauses but i think they are too brief and sometimes too evenly placed and predictable. this can be good but its too much for my taste. If you want to practice different flows, find different rappers you like and learn their songs. try to be able to spit like them without mumbling, learning their breath control. just doing this alot will give your head and lungs new patterns to practice and youll be using them in ur next verses wether you know it or not. not like biting/copying but studying. anyways great track.i look forward to what youll go for next.

HeIsAlive responds:

Thanks bud.

Always appreciate your comments, homework lol.

did you ever write poetry

ur lyrics are like poems with alot of nice juicy words and ideas. like eternal said keep carving away at ur rhythm. try and find a way to keep those great lyrics and form them into a steady flow. although u might be on to something rapping in such a different way. no matter what keep practicing.

have u tried freestyling by urself? it helps focus more on rhythm than words for me and i think its good practice even if their weak verses. that "im a cynical individual" stanza is a great example of clean words just falling into the beat. u didnt have to force the words in the beat. ur stuff is real fun to listen to and i love the themes of history and spiritual realms. thats shits so dope to me. keep hacking it man

HeIsAlive responds:

Yeah, I did. I took like 4 creative writing classes in school lol.

I freestyle every once in a while, but very rarely. I find myself repeating words when I freestyle, I feel like I over think it too much lol.

Im glad you like it bro. Thanks for the review :D

[[H] - A Lucid Dream Remastered]

hey i use audacity too

pretty dope stuff ur cooking there. i didnt really like ur choice of rhythm but like n1kmug said, u won me over. feel free to explore other ways to rap over beats but it sounds like you got lyrics ideas and rhymes for days. thats the first apparent perk about you that caught me so dont stop that wherever its coming from. i really dig the intelligent philosophy-packed storys youre telling, like aesop rock, gods gift, etc.
as for audacity tips, i do think this track could be more full. youre creativity made up for it but it could never hurt to be louder. try listening to your favorite artists songs back to back with ur stuff and tweak ur levels till they sound as loud as them. (like using amplify and equalizer on the vocals or beat). and i dont mean try to sound like ur favorite artist but compare the mastering so you know if your stuff sounds too quiet. keep going at it though man, bad mastering or not your spitting deep shit

HeIsAlive responds:

Thanks man, I appreciate the c&c.

I will mess with audacity and use it on my next song, ill link you when its out ok.
Again thanks, love the review. :D

[Kami | Days gone by]

yo dude

when i bought la noire i just chilled out to the main menu for a while because of that dope sax and piano. you flipped it so well, i didnt recognize it at first. good chopping there.

Kamikazi1 responds:

I fuckin LOVED that main theme, rocked my damn soul it did!

[SH - Moving On]

well said

it is introspective. and its like youve mastered the unquantized boom bap sound so you can go anywhere with it. the melodys in this track make me think of modest mouse and their early stuff which, im a big fan of. like cute, nostalgic feel, with some sadness or gloom in there somewhere. soundwise, everything knocks good, i mainly reviewed this because i think its some original indie-hip-hop shiz. like breaking the mold without forgetting the traditions and stuff from the past. real hip hop. so props man im growing up too

shaggyhaired responds:

Thanks a bunch man, truly a helpful review.
I didn't even know how to categorize this.
