Anita,

thanks for the advice. i'll try to work towards what you say. however, there is a difference between underground styles like artists such as, Lyrics Born, Eyedea, Atmosphere, Aesop Rock..etc and mainstream party hiphop that is all about the hook and not much content but the same things said written different ways.

yea the way i do verse to chorus is very similar...i've noticed it myself too. so lately i've begun listening more closely to other artists and breaking it down...it would be a plus if i had a producer here to help me out like i have in Taiwan. the stuff i've recorded there leans more towards mainstream but alas, i dont have any of the tracks because they've kept it all. lol they wont rip me off tho 'cause im good friends with 'em...if they do...all hell will break loose.

of course im far from where i want to be and where i will be in a few years given the rate of my improvement (you should hear my old crap...yea it's crap). im developing a more underground sound rather than mainstream style where the hook the only part people really listen to. but i know what you mean and i'll think about what you said when im doing new projects.

especially in Taiwan where im working with some producers right now on mainstream (not pop-hop..like what is there now) hiphop. thanks for taking time to check out my music ^_^
