    Lyrics -

    Castle (IAmReal) -
    i think ive hit rock bottom
    ironically its awesome
    my rhymes are about to blossom,
    i finally have something to rap about
    I’m surrounded by empty bottles,
    but i think ive got a problem
    i always end up fallen, for the trashy models with no bottoms
    see these Hos won’t be loyal and im scared to be emotional
    as i approach this half naked chick
    quickly i start thinking on what to say
    so i begin to spew some bs about my debut album
    although i haven’t really started on any anthems
    this weird dude behind me interrupts me
    he goes by the name of tadpole
    first reaction, what the f--- kind of a stage name is that
    i know a lot of dough from this game can make you a little crayy
    but what the h--- is this guy on?
    he proclaims to be a rapper
    well if you ever want to grow you may want to rename yourself
    but never mind that what do you want with me?
    he says “i think i know a way we can get on our grind
    to the looks of it yea we are both unsigned
    maybe we could combine our skill sets
    and actually make something that drops before detox”
    well thanks for the offer but i aint living the hard knock life
    of course I’m lying i just want some sex tonight
    so i f----- the ugly whor- and the next mornin
    i knocked on his front door
    left everything behind and now on my way to a fine blessed life
    and i don’t even have to mention that this kid can spit
    lets hop into the next dimension and listen to the one and only tadpole

    Tadpole -
    4th dimension raps
    So it's time to bust
    Let the time adjust
    Clocks chortlin chimes with rust
    Piles sand clumped by dust
    Particles carry through the air
    As the wooden door creeps shut
    Ingest as gust of muck and must
    Gettin inside my lungs
    The air is getting heavy
    Call it pulmonary lifting
    The room looks dreary
    And shifting into different shapes
    Until, the sun falls and it
    Looks like a different place
    Just the scent of a Moroccan breeze
    Moribund leaves fall apart from trees
    Settle into the ground, decompose
    Fuel the cycle of living, absolving ghosts
    Let's make a toast
    To the skeletons covered in cobwebs
    And all the spiders feasting on flesh
    But, yet I'm living - what is life?
    A process - I know what it is not
    It's not death - But death is a stage
    Or maybe a phase because a stage has lights
    But would that not make bright
    The phase that we call life
    Would that make us luminaries
    In a process that is so scary
    In this existential crisis we're bearing
    As this air is - just to heavy to breath
    It's seeping into my veins
    The filth insidiously entering my brain
    The clock feels no guilt
    It just runs like a train
    It knows not what it does
    It chugs through the rain
    On a steady track
    Long aside our abandoned shelter
    The time ticks - never falters
    Never alters - But if it did?
    Then how could I rely
    On an ever-shifting time
    To remind me
    How long am I alive

    Outro -

    Castle -
    left everything behind and now on my way to a fine blessed life
    left everything behind and now on my way to a fine blessed life
    and i don’t even have to mention that this kid can spit
    lets hop into the next dimension and listen to the one and only tadpole

    Not sure which one you are, but the first guy was very average. Just sounded like a poor poor man's Slim, ditch that type of delivery.

    Thanks for feedback man!

    I am the first guy. Flow was actually inspired by Asher Roth so I can see why you saw the similarity to Eminem (especially since I listen to him a lot). Thanks for checking it out and hopefully we impress you more next time!

    you guys could both greatly benefit from better mixing..

    also, a more confident delivery. you guys sound a little shy. good beat selection.

    what. THE. f---!?

    Absolutely terrible. Terrible flow & delivery, terrible mic presence, terrible rhymes terrible etc. etc.

    Ya'll really need to focus and get better before you put out whatever f---in album you're thinkin about droppin. You sound scared as f--- on the mic and your flow is choppier than the waters in The Perfect Storm. LMFAO @ that struggle 'UGH!' at the end of Tadpoles bs verse. WTF is with the outro? The topic is practically nowhere to be seen in either of your lyrics. Your vocabulary is elementary. 85% of the time you aren't rhyming. This is absolutely trash.

    What do you mean no topic? My whole verse describes an event of what "occured" it tells a story.
    My flow wasnt choppy at all and was very laid back/story telling - like?
    Not once in my verse do I just not rhyme? I beg you to point out a place where I dont rhyme?

    I'd appreciate it when you give someone feedback you actually give them feedback. you go into detail and back up your points. All you are doing is throwing random buzz words like "trash", "dont rhyme", "Choppy flow" and then you dont back it up and say where it is or how we could improve. Youre just shi--ing on us to s--- on us.

    yeah, definitely don't work in GarageBand. there's really no "real" mixing options in there as far as I'm concerned.

    Logic is pretty easy to use and user friendly, check that out.

    Ain't nobody usin f---in 'random buzzwords', shut the f--- up, lmfao. I've already had two cats agree with me so I'm not wrong. The f--- I need to go into detail for? It's plain as day to me and at least two other cats that this song is terrible. That you two emcees, are terrible. Terribly terrible.

    You think I go into random threads to s--- on people randomly? I go in hoping to find some random jewels to bootleg and listen to all the live long day (fat chance on this god forsaken forum). I'm shi--ing on you because you f---in s---, fool. If you can't see it with the breakdown previously given, then I'm terribly sorry. And I don't wanna listen to that garbage again so, no, I will not go into detail. If I was wrong, why the f--- are people agreeing with me? Maybe I could use some tact like @Cyreides but that's my own demon.

    i don't take any offense to it. i know we as artists have a lot of room to grow. me, particularly, i need to smoothen out my flow.

    thanks for the honest feedback guys.

    You didnt give any feedback other than we are terrible? lol Thats buzzwords. You never said why. If 2 others already said that we s----d in the first place then why add your opinion?

    Thank you to everyone who gave real feedback.

    I did tell you why.
    And I quote:
    I didn't think I needed to break it down any further, Tadpole seems to under-f---ing-stand me and instead of denying or trying to blindly refute what was said he actually took the harsh criticism to heart and looks like he'll be at least ATTEMPTING to elevate.

    It isn't like I came in and said, 'ew, ya'll s---' and left it at that. I told you WHY I think you f---in s---. Poor delivery and flow. Poor vocabulary. Poor 'rhymes'. Lack of cohesiveness in regards to the two of you sticking to the topic of a 'fine blessed life'. Poor mic presence.

    Please, stop being a b---- and take the criticism like a man. Use it as fuel and become a better emcee instead of whining like I didn't actually tell you wtf I thought was trash. Hint: all of it was trash.

    f---ing idiot.
