Thank you for posting this because it is the truth. I took a music biz class and that was one of the main items revolving profit for the artist WHO WRITES THEIR OWN WORK!!
And thats my point. Its not selling out if your selling beats and making money like everyone else. You may be going against your personal approval of hip hop or whatever, but if the market is x and you make y then its your choice to give in or not.
I think the term is brought up soo much here...
"The policeman broke into the house and witnessed Revelus decapitating five-year-old Bianca, whose birthday cake was on the kitchen table."
Dude that right there had me choking up.

It does sound like it could use more body to it. Its a good start for sure. I felt that it need something to refresh the ear like another sound or a beat drop in it.

Thats what I am thinking.
16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
Get out of the house. You need to let it come to you with out stress or the beat comes out sounding stressed and forced.
Take a walk. Pen and pad. Write notes of ideas for beats. Go to a public shop that plays oldies and catch songs to sample from and rush home with it.
Its actually to a degree is stand able. its got a good beat that I can see in the club. Red and Meth are doing what is hot right now to not drown under it.
Over all I can see where your coming from Ark, but on the real...I've heard WAYYYYY Worse then this.
