I don't always like to put people down or give them some criticism about their craft. All of us are amateurs and we are all trying to create something lasting that gives us that little bit of meaning in our lives. That said, I think you've reached a point in your career that you really need to sit down and figure out how to get around it.

Every time I see a track by you now, it's all the same feel, same sound, same techniques, same flow. I guess what I'm saying is that you seem like, like... you have no growth. You've been the same Gibbsy since Tera Nova. You've done the same song over and over and over, and on some levels I can't say anything because I make banger style tracks all the time, but I never see any growth in you as an artist. You say you're going back to that real hip hop, but this is mixed just like everything. Same doubled vocals... same poppy track.... nothing old school about it really.

You want to make a track with a hip-hop feel, take that poppy guitar riff off there. You still got a hook essentially with the "fuck you" sound and the gun cocking back is confusing because this is neither a trap record or sound in any way hard. I keep waiting for Skylar Grey to bust out a chorus or something on this. Again, I don't mean to take shots at you or anything like that. I just don't think you're growing as an artist and to me that's a really big problem. Keep grindin'.

Mykill's Verdict: 2.3/5, at best

I respect the feed man and some what agree, but if you go back and listen to the songs your referencing "terra nova" and listen to the new tracks I have on sound cloud there is growth in flow , in vocals , mixing techniques, and my flow differs on pretty much every track, I mean I don't see how you cant hear that even on each of the songs I have up on sound cloud atm , I understand some of the points you've made in regard to the gunshot sound effects and shit but this sounds completely different to every track on "terra nova" etc, I'm just going through the motions of improving like everyone else but to say there is no growth isn't right , I have a my own "persona/vocal style" and don't drastically change how I write things but that doesn't mean there isnt or hasn't been growth...listen back over some of those tracks and you will see what im saying anyways and ive been using loads of different styles and genres of beats recently so hopefully when I drop some more tracks soon your opinion will change thanks for feeding man!

maybe. I don't see it. It's the same hook. same content. same flow. same mixing.

Terra Nova was different, because on that tape there were varying styles. I havent seen that kind of diversity in your music, and just like the last time I really 'went in' on a song you posted, all the shit just meshes together and does have any versatility. You gotta be mindful to the fact that I'm not saying you're whack. I'm not saying you suck. I'm just saying its like you're 2 Chainz and you made "Birthday Song" every time and just remained it "Day of Birth Song". They all start to blend together and just sound the same.

Take Kanye West for example. College Dropout/Late Registration sound very similar. You can tell that in Graduation, Kanye was changing it up. Dark Twisted Fantasy, 808's, and Yeezus all have WAY different styles and different musicality than his first work. That's what I'm getting to. Your shit all sounds like you've been making College Dropout over and over and over and over. Where's the Yeezus? Been asking for it for a while, and havent heard it since. Hope you understand.

ohh yer now I understand what your saying thanks for the feed man and the bit of a eye opener to how you mean, to me I thought I sounded diff but when I compare like you just did with kanye it makes sense, okay man well I got about 20 odd tracks in works aha some with old school rap beats , some doubletime stuff, some singing etc so once ive got something cohesive to put down all together ill drop a tape I just remixed eminems new track berserk so that should sound entirely different
