The Critics Get Critiqued: Reader Weighs In On RS Mixtape
So I went over the RS Twitter account and found that we had someone going by the name of VerbalStyles give a tweet-by-tweet review of the RS Mixtape. In seven 140-characters-or-less tweets, VerbalStyles, who is a New York-based DJ and producer, broke down the tape track-by-track and gave his opinion on each track and artist. Oh yeah, take the advice with a grain of salt. He was a little drunk when said review was written.
SomeOne – standard white rap; DK – nice MC but beat was nothing special; Submit – DOPE beat but bad mix, first cat is a Lil Wayne biter…other two MCs have nice flows but need to find a voice; AKA got that Digable vibe but two different choruses? GodChaserz producer could blow up tomorrow, MCs more bitin’; 810 I dig but vox needs to be louder, def fresh though. D. Julien – interesting, would do well at a hippie fest; Random – listen to Dilla much? E.A.R.T.H. interesting beat, sounds like Del/Living Legends but dude don’t do your own repeats! Ha. Not trying to hate on anyone, just half drunk and bored checkin’ your tape out. Would be more verbose if it weren’t for 140 character thing. All in all lots of talent but low on production value. Nonetheless curious to see what you guys find next. Respect.
Sober or not, we appreciate the feedback. Tweeted on July 2nd, 2009.
Haha…pretty funny…I’m Puerto Rican sucka!
Everybody is entitled to their opinion and thats good.
The mixtape is actually dope. everybody came nice with it.
I love it when critics tries to be all technical.
Anyhow, DOPE MIXTAPE KEEP IT UP!
Finally got a chance to bump the mixtape. That joint is hot. Everybody did their thing.
Oh, and what does “listen to Dilla much?” suppose to mean? Is that a bad thing? (RIP)
