    What can I do better.

    Hi guys.

    This is another song I'm working on atm. The first verse has been recorded with my home mic. I was just wondering what I could do better. The lyric video is below.




    I'm looking for thoughts and criticisms. Please take a minute to tell me what you think.

    Much love.

    flows not tight enough and you're slurring a lot of your lines

    technical aspect: the mic you're using is bad and the sound quality is suffering.

    quit trying to sound like eminem man, find your own voice the lyrics arent bad and neither is the flow but the voice you are doing is very strained/unnatural sounding. not hating, just saying youll never be sucessful trying to sound like other people

    It is my natural voice, the quality is bad I think that's what makes it sound unnatural. I had a blocked nose too, so maybe that contributed.

    P.S I was kinda doing it in a monotone voice without putting too much emotion into it.

    But thanks for the rest of your post.

    Put some emotion into it. The lyrics are great and should be pretty easy to put strong emotion into

    I quite like it. The melody is simplistic, and memorable, yet not overbearing on the actual rap.

    The lyrics were good, and there was some clever phrasing within your song.

    The only thing I can fault is the performance of it, and the execution, but most of it has been explained and pointed it out. :)
    Good job ^^

    My problem is I don't know how to record properly...and my mic sucks balls. If I put too much emotions in it there's a lot of static for some reason. Anybody got tips?

    I'm using a USB condensor microphone. It's called the Samson C01u. It's a decent mic, but the USB recording makes it sound shit. I don't have an amplifier either.
