This is the lead off track on the album my group, The Philosophy, just released. Myself, Spread and Bambu on the mic, I'm on the beat w/ help from my boy Xkwizit.

Tell me what you really think. Peace.

Sup Folks,

BarTek - Roses

living in the fast lane
the cabbie doesn't wave when i let em in
mad at the life that chose him
going everywhere but never stepping in
i understand, i keep my breath underhand when i tackle turns
flowin in the fast lane while my cheeba burns
burning the midnight keys for summer songs
between the spaces of flesh and thongs i right my wrongs
i call em planets and stars yet scars always remain
to mark the passing of change in my veins i've laid
the foundation for my steps, the future frets on oak
strung with sax notes, i've clothes on my back
i've deamons on my back too, i shake off the attack
and set bystanders in effect when i come through...

@}-,-`-

He looks determined without being ruthless
Something heroic in this man, there's a courage about him
Doesn't look like a killer
Comes across so calm, acts like he has a dream
Full of passion

I miss Dilla~

The Flame: Skills on the mic. A good flow and voice but tends to sound over-dramatic and thus somewhat unnatural and not wholly convincing. But most of your flow is about the wackness of other mc's, which narrows it's appeal. (Boasting beats bitching.) Nice beat, but too repeditive.

So Good: Nice beat. Emotion more natural on the flow. The way you start your flow at the beginging was ill, dropped in nicely. The singing sample on the hook isn't loud enough to carry the hook after the louder verses.

Vocals come off a bit muffled in both tracks. They're not mixing in the music, they're sitting in a different plane. Better mics/mixing and get it mastered.

I'll check the other two l8er if I can.

Peace,

~Toe

BarTek,

Your track is interesting. But I wouldn't call it a song. Nothing held it together, i.e. a narrative, a decipheral theme, or a chorus. So listening to it is like watching a sports team you're not familiar with scrimmage. You can see their potential, but you don't know what they'll do when it's game time. And you're not going to play a highlight reel of the practice for all you friends.

More songwriting...

Peace,

~Toe

Comin For Ya: This is pretting hot. Got that Camp Lo feel. Sometimes the beat get's lost when you do to much vocal layering or when the beat cuts out but drops back in in an unnatural sounding spot.

And how long were your verses? If they're longer than 16 bars cut them muthas down. Make you point then let the music play and the listener flow along to the hook.

But all in all hot.

Peace,

~Toe

Spank you, smelly much, ToeJam.

Wasn't around and meant to do it before I left.

If you'd be so kind as to set that up monthly, I'd appreciate it.

Inner Demons: Ummm, I like artists that flow like it's their life's blood, like they HAVE to, they ain't got a choice. You sound a little bored. You have a good enough sense of rhythm, your voice is decent (if unpassionet) and there's even a couple clever rhymes, but people don't really want to hear an emcee wallow in self-pity, which is how you come off.

The beat had a groove but was uncreative and got old.

Keep building, I'll keep checking for future stuff.
