Dope, I'm a fan.

He still needs to work on his vocals and flow.

Indeed.

More thoughts.

Beat is really boring.

Track goes on too long.

I want that track that he played on that one video.  It's about robbing someone and said consequences.

They don't like it, how does that make them haters? For real people needa stop throwing that word around!

Action obviously has time for duke otherwise he wouldn't have heard some obscure song in the background of a video lol

Midi Mafia doing a horrible impersonation of a Dre beat on this track, Hayes sounding aite, but needs to work on his mic prescence, sounds half asleep or super high

[IbblesAndBits]

hayes doesn't sound all that great and this beat is ass! i hope he has better songs than this.

[BOX5 the best poster on this site yell]

i don't get the hype, and sorry just cause dr dre co-signs it doesn't mean people have to like it yell

Only thing aite about the track is the beat. Hayes bring complete death to it. I aint even hating on hayes because im still undecided on dude but i agree with those who say aint nobody gotta force themselves to like someone just because a dre or eminem co signed them. I never really thought bishop was anything whoa and he is not and cashis is straight up garbage.

Hayes im still undecided, he still grindin yet, need to get more exposure and put to the test abit more before i decide on dude. On this though he killed the track, all i was thinking during that was how u going to make a midi mafia beat, whether dope or not sound like its dead. Thats almost impossible son, should have given the beat to someone else.

I understand why people won't like Hayes.  I think he's got to go through a huge artistic growth before he's presented to the mainstream...even the "underground".... but if he actually works at it he could be dope.  Time will tell. 

Take for this track, his pronunciation and his flow is really slow so it contributes to the lackluster beat.  He's got no motivation.  Other tracks of his are doper and show promise of what he could be.
