Wow, the first one was
really good man. Like, really good.
I'm listening to the instrumental and I think I found the perfect beat count for when it started. It kinda goes well with the beat, puts you in the same mood as the original song.
The second one I thought was too short but not a bad rhyme. First > second

Start the rapping at like 14 seconds or 18 or so.
