Eh . . . 4/10 - not bad, but not too good, either

The instrumentation is varied but perhaps to a fault. It definitely feels like it should be a powerful background track, but there isn't any real focus on one instrument to serve as the support. This leads to the beat feeling flaky and uninteresting as all these different tones compete for the listener's attention. Add to that the fact that most rap songs are very reliant on their beats to provide support, groove, tempo, catch the listeners attention, etc., the lack of any real consistency or strength in the instrumentation definitely undermines the potential of the song.

The vocals aren't really my cup of tea either but I do appreciate the varied inflections of the voice and the concerted effort to actually try and rap. I think that the meter of the piece is too brief, which results in the phrases becoming choppy with strange pauses that feel like they come too early. I also think that the vocalist's enunciation could use work, as due to his speed it becomes difficult to understand what he's saying (the fact that alot of the things he's talking are often based on strange and otherwise disconnected topics/ideas doesn't help either)
