Sounds halfway between Afterbirth and Silent Hill. I really like the grit and intensity here. Awesome work man.

I see how you can hear the similarities to Silent Hill (Akira Yamaoka is one of my many influences,) but I haven't scoured and listened to the BoI: Afterbirth OST in its entirety so I'll have to check it out.
Thanks for the review Kwing.
Sky V1 - Lots of little personals that hit like bee stings. rhyme scheme was a little basic.
Grim V1 - Started with a strong rhyme scheme and flow but both lost momentum by the end, and there was some real generic stuff here too.
Sky V2 - I only caught a couple lines here and none of them were really directed at Grim.
Grim V2 - Flow is fucking FIRE. I feel like there could have been some really hard punches made around the concept of Sky making his second verse out of samples and you really didn't take advantage of the opening.
Both of these guys need to punch harder. Sky could have taken this with a little more venom. Grim didn't do his research. The second verse pointed out a pretty clear victory for Grim though. DIFFERENT DOES NOT ALWAYS MEAN BETTER.
Nice and chill, reminds me a lot of Nujabes. Kind of interesting because you make a lot of horrorcore type beats but you got the mood of this one perfect.
Thanks man. Yeah, I was trying something a bit different. I get bored just doing eerie, abstract, and horror instrumentals all the time, even though I love it.
The olskool beat and the impact of Rav's voice make this go hard as hell. Linez is solid too, though a little less punchy with the flow.
Also.
Rav: I don't think these n***as can handle this.
Rav: Dropping n-bombs as your mom makes your bread with ham.

One of the stronger freestyles on the site. You're totally bursting with confidence to the point where any individual bar doesn't even sound like a freestyle. You've got some multis, which is fairly impressive. Overall just really damn good.
Oh damn. TK completely *dominates* with flow but doesn't have very many personal hits. Wigger wannabe is relevant but still quite general. Writing slow and imitation are decent but to be honest Jakobe did a better TK impression than the other way around.
My vote? Fuck, it's close. Jakobe opened up with a knockout punch but snoozed through the rest of his verse. TK kept a strong presence throughout but just didn't attack as much.
Opening with the Eminem diss is excellent. Age, ad libs, and razor blade lines are kind of light. The lack of multis here is what really brings it down for me, and really took me out of the moment for a lot of this. The doubletime at the end was also pretty bad and overall this just feels way more sloppy than I'm used to from Jakobe.
Whoa. This is really so dope. I guess it could use a little bass to give it a little oomph but it's not a big problem. Perfect coupling of contemporary classical with the samples and hip hop with the scratching and drums.
The Tool sample actually isn't too repetitive but the percussion definitely is. The shuffashuffashuffa is driving me nuts.
Overall sounds really good, although the piano doesn't sound very real. Could have used a bit more force on some of the chords compared to others.
