Pure Talent (Nas - I Can)

[Afronation1990]

u snapped bro



[ThePyroPsychos]

CONT:

Besides those two minor flaws my friend, I truly believe you have a potential to be great. You got a subtle, but strong, deep tone of voice intertwined with a smooth flow and an exceptional delivery. As i said before, im not trying to judge or critique you in any way, but to give you tips and help you be the best emcee you can be. I would not spend so much time on a single comment unless i truly believe someone deserves it.

[ThePyroPsychos]

Hey i just discovered your shit and i gotta say your pretty ill, but there are some things you should consider improving. Please don't take this the wrong way but more as constructive criticism. For the negatives I would say you need to touch on broader subjects and topics with deeper meanings, although i can tell your more of a commercial hip hop fan (i may be wrong) meaning Nas, JayZ, etc., east coast stuff. Second of all, I think you should broaden your lyrical content/widen your word choice

[SuperPekka]

I can't find your reply to my original comment in here (got a notification about it in my email), but here's my reply anyway:

All my critisism was complteletely valid, regarding this specific song. I'm not familiar with your other songs so I can't talk about them, but this track was just weak as far as lyricism goes. I listened to it again just now, and well.. You just didn't say a damn thing. Your lyrics were forgettable and generic. Hustling hustling guns hustling etc... Fuck that shit.

[j2thamei]

@SuperPekka lmao ok. Sounds good homie. I'll take your word for it, since it IS my song and everything...

[SuperPekka]

@j2thamei It's critisism man, you should get used to it if you're planning on releasing stuff on youtube. Nothing personal, I just figured you'd like to know what other people think -- good or bad -- since you DID upload it to a site that has a comments section and everything.

[j2thamei]

@SuperPekka there's a difference between critical feedback and just being negatively critical, my friend. You are providing the latter. I appreciate your honesty, however, this discussion could've been avoided had you simply given me constructive criticism rather than acting like an all-knowing Hip Hop head and disrespecting my work.

[SuperPekka]

@j2thamei I gave you a starting point: Change your subject matter. Even gave you some references on what I consider real/good rap (although my opinion is obviously not the universally accepted standard).

Once you show that you have the ability to write lyrics on something more important I'm willing to spend time giving you constructive critisism on the more technical things about your delivery/flow.

My intention was not to insult, however, so sorry if I did.

ICH FICKE DEINE MUTTER DU HURENSOHN

[theindie27]

gangster wnnabe

[blooodmask]

That was dope man. Keep it goin!

[SuperPekka]

I suggest you change your subject matter, unless you're aiming for the 12-year old audience. Guns, 'bitches', hustling or whatever are pretty popular among said 12-year olds, but real hip-hop heads make fun that crap.

I'm not going to talk about the technical bits, unless you manage to come up with something that's worth the effort. If you want to know what I mean exactly look up Sabac Red, Public Enemy, Roots, Nas, Cyne for starters, or from the other end of the spectrum, Fresh Prince.

[psycho13pomp]

dude your great :D nd that colab with an0m on the dead pres video was sick. asian pride

[needsummail]

lol they talkin about you dont look like someone to use guns.... is there anyone that looks like theyd have a gun? Anyone can have a gun lol I bet my grand moms has a gun

[KRAZYNLUV15]

very dope! I wish I had skills like you!

[xartmusiclife]

can you post it with the lyrics? and where did u learn how to rap?

[StreetBoxingFed]

@xartmusiclife lol @ where did you learn how to rap...it's not a college major, you know how to get to carnegie hall don't you? practice

[zangetsue5150]

oh and j2thamei is 2x better than lil wayne.

[ckon97]

you killed it ma dude. one question to see if u real to hip hop, do u consider lil wayne a rapper? lol

[zangetsue5150]

@ckon97 lil wayne use to be to be a rapper.after father like son album,he fell off.the last good album he made in my oppinion.

[ckon97]

@zangetsue5150, dont get me wrong wayne use to do his thing but that was a while ago that he fell off, now hes just random and isnt rap in my opinion. but thats just me homie

[padddman]

this dude need to record in a studio it would sound sick

[jewbagggg]

this guys good.

if you dont like him. its purely cos hes asian.

cos you know his rhymes are better than most multi millionare rappers out there.

so if you dont like this guy go shove a cock in your mouth

[tda33]

I like it hot

[nasem89]

yo that's cool

peep my shit and tell me what you think of it

/watch?v=0g3xMM1Gcjk

[NIKKIROKSxXx]

omg that fucking sucked ass!

[lEastTube]

Missed something. Can you Freestyle at all? Reply if you can :). Peace.

[j2thamei]

i do when i can...i'm not the greatest but i've been gettin in a lotta ciphers and i've battled a couple times

[lEastTube]

This is sick, when i heard this i was smiling because of how good this shit is. This is probably better than most "Famous rappers" I used to love Lil wayne but i have to say this is better shit than what he comes up with. Half the time you dont understand a word hes saying. Keep up the good work. You could easlie get somewhere with these lyrics if thats the road you wanna go down. Peace.

[DeVinciRaps]

[Bakhtbolland13]

Fuck you he's just spittin' nothing wrong wit that..

But let me guess these lyrics fit a cat like 50 cent or soulja boy?? Haha They never did that shit either man nd I'm pretty sure you didnt either so chill out

[Daskillz100]

For you to say 50 cent cant rap about real stuff, your wrong. He doesnt have alot of songs about that but he does have some.

50 cent isnt the best, but he is better than most mainstream rappers.

[itsanthonyhere]

...yes. The hats in the back that are flat. What else would I be talking about??? I just don't get what's so "bad ass' with those and why people put them in Argon-sealed pressers at night to keep them clean.

[ballnstlye]

[mabeltran]

hey you're hot..on those lyrics. keep it up

[codyluvspody]

" I am a rapper too " kill yourself

[itsanthonyhere]

[joshlewi]
