No, no, no..... Wasn't feeling this at all homie..... This was way too simplistic..... You need to be more creative..... Your flow was okay, but try using some multies to increase your flow...... Try using wordplay or metaphors to add to the creativity of your lines....... Add more description to each bar, work on a better set up then deliver the bar...... This is just way too simple for me..... keep writing and try to add more to it, be creative, add vocabulary, use multies...... Just do more then this homie...... keep trying and you'll elevate though, keep at it.......

There are 1440 minutes in a day, so according to my calculations you make 144,000,000 a day. If you maintained that level of income for a week you'd make 1,008,000,000 in that time. This means that your yearly salary (provided the income remains the same) is 52,416,000,000. That is a lot of money so the main advice I could give is














On a more serious note you should head to the tutorials. Flow was off, bar length and structure were off, rhymes were simple and there was no wit or creativity in this (which is to be expected in a self hype drop). Add some flavour like funny punches or weird comparisons, and make it longer.

Lol!! This started out well until u started to go into the conventional rap trope and went downhill from there. Perhaps it might sound OK on wax but as a written piece where variety of the techniques are preferred this was underwhelming. Keep writing as there are many cats from LA who started like you and quickly jumped to legit wordsmiths.

you wind up with a lighter red. you essentially wind up with the same red if you didnt add black and white to the red. The black and white would cancel each-other out.


Here is the illustration

BEFORE YOU MIX BLACK AND WHITE




AFTER YOU MIX BLACK AND WHITE




Hope this helps. I think if you changed that line to

"Ill cancel you out like adding black and white to red" would have worked better

Well to be truthful I thought it had some merit,but I can only echoe what already been
stated,and Sammy typed some truths about where some ppl here started from,what
you need to do to start with is think of what it is you want to say or convey,lay out key
words then write around them a rhyme,you need to give a piece a clear direction,the
complex stuff can be found in the elevation centre,other than that keep writing..peace.
