first of all, i'd like to apologize for my late response. secondly, i'm not really good for a "hip-hop" opinion. this is why: i go through stages sometimes i like this sometimes i like that, but i'm a metaller through and through. all this to say i hear the talent, you're good at what you do-but i haven't liked the mid-nineties rap sound and sampling since wu-tang forever...but like i said, at least you're doing a good job-mixing it up. i've had people bring me dj premier/dr dre/kanye type 5 minute loops and get mad when i don't like it...i'm just one person-if i said you sucked it wouldn't matter, but you don't so keep doing you and i hope you succeed ESPECIALLY considering we're surrounded by haters in fair city of ours...seacrest out
