hes not bad. Definetly better than those guys on MTV. Good luck to him.

I have family in detroit so i liked the video!

Good stuff, always a pleasure seeing new artists come up.

One thing about the video though...well the song in the video actually.
I'd personally drop the high pitchd voice, shit's a little annoying, ya know?
It's been used in so many songs/shows/etc.
Other than that, good luck to the man!

I woud listen to it but atm its metallica time, ill get back to you later today.

cool, i like it :D

not my style but i liked it.

if you want input that kid looks like a loser with an image problem to me. yeeeea yeeeeea yeeeaaahhhhh. what exactly seperates that from all other rap. oh hes sampling journey. this is not an attack on you and purely meant for constructive purposes.
jeeeeee thats what i ammm

o yeeeeeeeeaaaah

im tryn ta stack my nickels and dimes

seriously that is worse than typical rap to me and i am not a big fan of average rap

it is just a shame that he might make money off that crap when thousands of real musicians go unsigned. a crying shame

Like it! I'll keep an eye out for him!

Peace

Buddy

Thats was pretty decent..:thumbsup:

Im not a fan of ruining good songs in a completely different genre and squeaky voices.

Your an idiot, he doesent slang dope or anything... hes talkin about makin money, moron.

Constructive Critiscism alright,

doggin someones hard work, not strate with me..

go the fuck away, let me see you put something together like this and then ill take your advice.

Have some family in Detroit so I liked it as well, and I'm a huge hockey fan so and this verse caught my eye big time "I live in hockeytown" then had the hockeytown/redwins logo behind him, I'm guessing he was outside Joe Louis Arena. Glad to see he brung something I liked into his rap.

i dont like rap much, but that shit got stuck in my head...

kinda average......nothing really stood out in that song....the lyrics were simple....and by simple...listen to mike jones and thats an example of simple lyrics.. real rap needs metaphors and shit, listen to chamillionaire and you'll get an example of that

its good but he copies the flow from HOLD YOUR HANDS UP HIGH - Talib Kweli and Jean Grae

but its good still

If i had an Mp3 encoder id rip this song, from his first cd, and put it on here.

noone will be disapoointed.. all original.

thanks for the comments, if you dig it, pass that shit around with his myspace or something..

That song reminded me of that BIG and 2 pac track, hell if I can remeber the name, but the high voice reminded me of that.

It was an okay track, nothing wow I found. It lacked originality. I've seen and heard it all before. He needs to write lyrics that MEAN something. Something that makes you look at things in a different view, something that makes you think.

If he were to come up with something original and fresh, I'd probably dig it, but I've heard it all before, you know.

Yes sir, He goes by the name Chief.

it has around 15 songs, most new, some old great ones.

now remember this is my cousin havin fun, he isnt in this for a career and has already graduated from college with a degree in Graphic Design from Pittsburgh(sp) University, so if his rap career goes nowhere, hes got something to default back 2...

ur a douche

Im not sure which your talking about but i know one is about 2 blocks east of tiger stadium not the new one, teh old one.

MOSTLY 7 MILE!! 313 MOFUKA..

if anyone has their own FTP SERVER , ill throw both cds on there... for anyone who listens to good rap theres a song on there for ya..

it was pretty good, just lose the squeaky voice and the wierd hand motions at the end

I live in Detroit and I like how it shoes the Faygo Detroit sign. And alot of the landmark. It really wasnt bad at all. I didnt really like the hand motion goin up and down though and that shit. But not bad.

no matter how good this is(and it isnt, there is nothing original about it), there is no market in america for a canadian rapper. have a different opinion of mine, but this guy isnt going to make it big in america

shows how much you pay attention..

I live in hockeytown.. hockeytown = detroit = michigan = america..

read books, educate yourself.

2 - He's already big in michigan, he's prolly got more bitches than you got friends.

3 - It's called having a good time.

4- suck my dick.

DOOGLE MAN! I saw your bud pics where at in The Big D do you live I want some!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oakland_County

well shit i stand corrected obviously a sample of about 30 people who feel obligated to be positive about pretty much everything they see means he is already a huge commercial success in america. i mean shit his cousin likes him im surprised he isnt at number one on the billboard charts already. he isnt big in michigan. my opinion is different from you, how does hockey town apply. im sorry that there isnt a market for shitty canadian rap sampling journey in america. but since you say he is big even though 99.99999% of the country hasnt heard of him, well i guess you are right. god how wrong i was. thank you for showing me the light

have a good one:thumbsup:

is that "alvin and the chipmunks sing journey"????? :)



but really i liked it, i think he has talent; with a recording contract, and some musical guidance i think he's got a good sound

his other songs are pretty good too

one thing i miss in rap artists is that they never play instruments and i'd like to see your man master an instrument for the moments he's not spinning rhymes, but maybe that's not supposed to be in rap; i just have a problem with lyrics+simple synthisized music


good luck to him; i think he's got a shot
