Your backing tracks are uber-cool these days. Nice squealchy synth-bass. Part of me wishes you had a different voice to set against the standard rap tone, but it's so unique that I don't really mind, either. Wish you had double-tracked the chorus or had a keyboard matching it to give a bit more definition ... 'couldn't get pants to cover my arse' is great!

yes on the machine gun clapping intro. pretty solid dude. better than alot of the rap i've heard around here anyway. i respect the fact that you deliver your flow like you have attitude and mean it. maybe runs a bit repetitious with the droning mix but i like how you bring the machine gun claps back in. good outro too. good job man.

Can people actually clap their hands that fast? This is kind of interesting. Cool mix of beats and stuff. It needs something catchy in it to make it memorable though. I give it a 65%.

The "minesweeper" reference seemed out of place, but maybe it just went over my head. If you submit more stuff in this genre, you might consider lowering the kick a little and raising your vocals. Your voice works well for the style, so you should let it take center stage, so to speak.

Pros - I think you accomplished exactly what you wanted to. As for me, I can appreciate it, but have a hard time enjoying it. Accent is pretty cool
Cons - Doing the doubling of the vocals the second half of each phrase is, i think, overused and doeesnt do much to seperate yourself. I thought the bass coulda kicked a bit more...but maybe you didnt want that.
The Handclaps were: Very fake...but obvious enough that it wasnt like you were trying to get away with anything. I think having SOMETHING beat where the handclaps were is a good idea, and in a re-mix id repace the handclaps with another sound.
Summary I wish I could give something more constructive than I have, but overall you kept the flow going well and sounded like you knew what you were doing.
