Since I CAN write a review, I wanna address somethin, Hector's relevant comment about how he thought I could be in a Grind battle cuz my flow in the first verse was not syncopated. Absolutely. I didn't syncopate it on purpose. I want to challenge all the MCs to grow past the syncopated 16th note flow that everyone uses because it's easy.
The reason the flow in the first verse works, I think, is cuz it allows room for EMOTION. I deliberately lean back/start late so I can fit all the words in, but I stay with the beat. Like at 1:40 when I say "I'm not..." that was deliberately meant to fit right in over those two snares. You know? And I'm feelin you, glitchs, when you said my flow scared you at first. I took a big risk, but that's what bein an MC is. It works cuz I stuck with it the whole verse. The beat is quantized. The MC should not be.
Know what I'm sayin? I love hip hop. Don't think I'm like, tryna be all Mr. I'm The Shit, but I just wrote what I felt.
If after all that, you still want a syncopated flow, chk my other song "White Girl Love Song." I did like an early Biggie flow on that. A little more syncopation on that.
Oh yeah, even though I can't vote, I vote for me for the win. Props to Future for that "you even shouted out my Soundcloud. Thanks John!" line. That shit was dope.
