bLaDe - Rescue Me

[bLaDe]

Yo, what's up ya'll, I was hoping I could get some constructive feedback on this track I recorded about a month or so ago.  It's called 'Rescue Me', my first real full song.  It is rapped over a beat that might sound familiar to some of you.  It's from 'Hero' by Nexus, who allowed me to use the beat and was also kind enough to play a little guitar over it.  Please make sure to read the lyrics as well.  It has been a long time since I recorded, I think about a year, so I might sound a little rusty.  I am also aware that I have a little problem with clarity, I'm still working on it.

Thanks a lot, peace

Addendum:  Please make sure to bump Rescue Me in it's original sound with NO equalizer presets, because they will only distort the sound.  I mixed it with custom equalizations, so if you are using programs such as Winamp, or equalizer settings in stereo players etc., make sure to turn them off.  Generally bass/treble settings are fine, but it's still best to listen to the song in it's original state.  Also, in the lyrics you might notice in my first verse I claim that I am 16 years of age, i'm actually 18, but I wrote half of the first verse at that age and put it away.  I don't like modifying my lyrics, espically if it's something I wrote a while ago, so I decided to stick with it.

Keep up the good work negro.

Having helped in recording the song I might be a little biased, but I love it. The flow/lyrics are fantastic, did better with the beat then I did. My guitar just rounds out the whole thing, but its definately Blade's talent on display.

the only thing i could critisize is how some syllables kinda get lost from the way you pronounce things. Other than that, great song, you are definitely a good lyricist and this is proof that you can also flow over a beat very nicely. the guitar playing is dope too. props

[pappy]

dopeness... only prob is at times its hard to understand ur voice, but you dropped some dope lyrics an have sick flow.  dope song

[mikeOG]

[Matty_C]

The loop in the back is just a sample, all i played was the main driving guitar "Solo" parts in the intro, hooks and outro.

the only thing i could critisize is how some syllables kinda get lost from the way you pronounce things.

yup, dats about the only flaw i see too, but blade's accent is becoming more understandable though, i been listenin 2 his shit 4 a while now, i see it.....the lyrics are krayzie.....guitar solo is off the hook.....dope all round.

Just dropped in for a quick response.  Thanks for reviewing the song guys, I appreciate your feedback.  Like I said earlier, I am aware of my clarity problems, and my complex lyrics don't help with it either.  But, I am still working on it, and I think it's improving gradually, like Rod said.  The fact that I hardly ever get time to record makes it hard for me to improve, I made this song after a year of silence for instance. 
By the way, I forgot to mention that you should bump Rescue Me in it's original sound with NO equalizer presets, because they will only distort the sound.  I mixed it with custom equalizations, so if you are using programs such as Winamp, or equalizer settings in stereo players etc., make sure to turn them off.  Generally bass/treble settings are fine, but it's still best to listen to the song in it's original state.  Thanks.

@KonSICKwence - Thanks for your feedback and offering me your beats.  I will look through your website throughly a little later, right now I have to go.  Peace.

Waving My Double Edged Sword, God Sharpened My Blade...
Its Just Me Against The World, And The Evil That He Made...

I still remember this GOD DAMN QUOTE.   
Once i get a new keyboard i can start up again. I reformatted my computer and lost all of the thousands of songs I chopped and sampled and all my beats.

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

Damn...That guitar Nexus added in the intro is fuckin' hot...Blade sounds about the same as he did a year ago...Good shit.

P.S. That's the "Hero" beat muthafucka!
