Ghetto Python - The Streetz Is Watchin - Mixtape Preview

I understand what Dante meant about being "all over the track". It's your rhyme structure, you seem to be flowing all over it. You're not on beat, so to speak. You need to flow with the beat, start at the begining of the bar. (I'm not an expert though, so I could be wrong)
Americans can't understand the British London accent, and they hate it, so you'll always get that from anyone over the water. The same reason why so many UK rappers are failures in the US. Plus I tend to think most UK rappers aren't as good with the English Language, odd as it seems.
Anyway, it needs a bit of work, take the criticism on board and work with it. You'll have to be pretty damn good to get praise from a US hip-hop fan, they're spoilt with all their good artists. You may do better getting feedback from people from the London scene. Grime and garage fans (which is pretty much UK hip-hop) are more forgiving. Plus they'll understand the accent better.

Thanks for da feedback yeah i get what ya sayin, ting is i like to show versitality in my flows thats why sometimes i change da rhyme pattern through da tracks jus show i dont stick to one basic rhyme pattern show my different skills, yeah i definatley feel ya about the US not feelin UK artists cause alot of the UK who've heard the mixtape are feelin it and ive got a couple of distributors who wanna sell it through london and other sites, i forgot that the US hate the UK scene so much to be honest but that probs wont change, yeah im always tryin to improve thats what all artists should try and do so i take advice and run with it, yeah alot of UK people say they feelin it so its lookin like it could do well round here
Im actually from birmingham but i go london everymonth to work with my music agency, they get me to meet label execs and big people in the UK game ive met people like sway and roll deep's managers (also met sway himself) yeah sure ill hit you up with a yousendit thats cool man ill PM it to you, just leave ya feedback in here when ya heard it aight
I can only agree with that to a certain extent to be honest, i do agree that alot of UK aint got nuttin on US but at the same time i feel some of the main people doin it do actually have enough game to compare like Sway, Skinny man and Klashnekoff, ting is aswell with alot of US artists they can all get away with the simple "ima thug" lyrics and keep sellin millions when its basically the same as what the last 40 other US rappers said before them, in UK you have to have alot of originality before you can even be heard cause here if all you do is gun talk you wont get far and class you as immitating the US life style, people like Sway are pure originality and i feel could compare with US artists to be honest, i think its more the fact that US aint used to hearin suttin different and dont like the idea of expanding to change
I agree that UK aint better than US im not gonna front, ive seen some terrible video's (songs) on Channel U, but i do feel there's a few that can compare with some US artists but on the whole US beats UK without a doubt and yeah militant i do think some UK just pirate US but not everyone if ya listen out for the big names in UK they are doin there own ting and i can hand on heart say when i make my songs i dont try and do anythin like US i even do some garage in my mixtape so i aint jus tryin to do hip hop anyway so i know i aint just followin trends
ye man.
TG1 most people are going to hate cuz of the accent so they wont even listen to the whole preview they will just close it after a few seconds. and because of the other reason i told you that they dont even give unknown artists a chance so dont worry yourself about what is said on this board. just know to filter out the bullshit and use the advice that is relavent to you to your advantage.
personally, i liked it. i couldnt really catch everythin you were sayin but the beats were sick. and the quality was kinda bad so i had a harder time understandin. and in all honety i like the UK scene less than anyone you know but that doesnt matter. dont take it like you're going to stay local and not come over to the US cuz anythin is possible. if canadian artists can be big in the US, so can UK artists. i think you should keep doin what you do cuz if your gettin all this attention from distributers in the UK means that they're feelin you so thats good.
but ya man put that mixtape out to the streets and go from there i think you'll do fine. anyway i came just to respond to this thread and now im out like jimmy hoffa. HellRazor05 WUDUP!! stay up.

thanks, i always try and listen out for unique beats i dont try stick to any certain style, , yeah the fast rappin was me experimentin but i think i pulled it off aight so im probs gonna do another track like that, the american tinge is just suttin thats stuck in my brain from listenin to US rap growin up lol but im slowly tryin to grow out of it now and im losin it day by day, yeah man hopefully get signed in the near future, thanks for da feedback and glad ya feelin it

yeah still experimentin with new ways to flow at the moment i try all different angles but i think ill do that even when i do stick with one permanent flow anyways cause i like to be diverse, i aint tryin to sound big headed or nuttin but i seriously think i flow pretty dam on point in the fast track, i seriously dont hear no wrongs in it (not that im sayin the rest is sloppy but i know im still improvin), breathe control been a lil problem yeah but i think i can work round that given a lil time, naa this is jus a mixtape i dont know how it is for you's over there but round here mixtapes you can go on other peoples beats and all that its no big deal and yeah i still didnt really wanna go on tagged beats but i had no choice, aint really no producers round my area to work with man im practicly on my own lol, thanks for da feedback ill take it on board and try on work on it
