Heads, here are some joints I recorded for my LP (ddnt wanna call it mixtape coz it aint mixed). The LP is just for promotional purposes. I'm from Bizana in the Eastern Cape so I'm also looking to work with cats from other areas. Enjoy!!
PS: Opinions much appreciated!!!

i listened to 'i'm just an emcee'.
you probably recorded from a bedroom, huh? the quality is hella wack, the beat too. but you have spirit and it comes through when you spit. though you have to work on your flow, fine-tune it. and come up with something that makes different from every other starter emcee. for example i can't tell if you're from Bizana. also, though it sounds as if you've been through mad shit, you express it the same way any number of emcees lay down their "hardship" tracks.
but keep going at it, my man. will listen to more of your stuff.
by the way, have you heard any of the cats from eZwelitsha? those dudes are on some next level shit :o
-
Getting sumwhere. Yes I did record in a bedroom. ;) I'll look into the other stuff you said though. I don't know where Zwelitsha is at but I'll track it down. ayt.

I listened to So sick. I've heard a lot of your flow in the EC. Similar grimy sound. I would say I heard a slur or two, Avoid slurring unless that's how you rap, otherwise pronounce the words clearly.
I like the concept, it was funny!

Eish...this is so disappointing...no Manene, no man...bedroom recording or not, this is not gud at all...
Manene, did u take tym to listen to the the tracks b4 deciding to put them up...?
U must hav listened to the tracks that hav been posted on this site b4 and the quality thereof, clearly u didnt take notes, my ears are painful now... i'll ask my doctor to bill u...
-
keep going son you'll only get stronger... these cats can be senselessly brutal but draw the positives from em and develop your skill.
Even your recording techniques perhaps you can read up on how to get the best from your home studio. For what it's worth I record at home too.

I WANA UP MINE TO BUT...OK LETS SEE...IMA TRY NOW..

To Mad, I ddnt think that ish looks like me so I guess it's a matter of the proverbial "qaqa elingaziva kunuka."
To all who downloaded the tracks I thought I should let you know:
I am very honest when I a**ess myself infact those close to me think that I'm too critical of myself. So I would never upload ish that I knew sounded kak. So Soul amazin', yes I did listen to the tracks before I uploaded them. Infact before I released them to any1 I listened to them on my old skul hi-fi system, my uncle's car system, my friend's home theatre sytem and even through my tv's speakers (this was done while comparing them with other proffessionally mastered projects like Zubz, Ben Sharpa to name a few) and although it was not Jazzworx/Down town studios quality it didnt sound pathetic either. I also got second opinions from other people whom I knew wudnt kiss my a**. So it came as a suprise to say the least when so many of you found something extra amiss with the qaulity. Hell, I even compared my tracks with one I downloaded here by some dude from Nelspruit and still mine werent bad.
Now I'm not saying your comments were lies coz u had no reason to lie. I'm just saying somewhere somehow something happened that I ddnt expect or I had no control over. As for the dopeness of the beats, well Myth I've always believed that dopeness is a subjective matter which varies from one listener to the next.
Anyway, thanx for the feedback.
As for the haters: "Even if ya'll were angels of death you still cudnt kill me/Coz to this ish I'm more devoted than Rastas who got dreads in thier pubics"
Ayt. ;)

Hold up Pinocchio...maybe u shud download the tracks and listen to them again... I put yo tracks on a playlist with some of Zubz' tracks (from the two studio albums and the mixtape) and listened to them again...yo tracks are still not sounding gud to the ear...
I'm even thinking of taking yo tracks to the department of defense, they'll make killa weapons, all they'll have to do is press play (with their ear muffs on) and all their enemies will become deaf and die from terrible headaches...
In short....listen to them again....if u still cant pick up something, i guess u already deaf...

Jesus Christ. Give the nigga a break, You told him his quality needs work... he told you he is not working in the best of set ups.... fine but you don't have to take it further. He disrespected nobody so I don't see any reason for him to be disrespected.
Hai, AG.

lol. f*** that. nigga thnks we a bunch of haters...
