Kwing's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Teqneek vs Byron]

I was looking for something like this! Great lines and you picked a really fitting beat.

Teqneek responds:

Thanks Kwing; I appreciate the comments btw; Maybe not at first lol, but after reading all the reviews I've definitely gained a respect of your opinion. So yeah, thanks! Haha on this old ass track

[NGHH KO2 - Gasmasq vs RetVox]

Decent battle. I really like Gasmasq's first verse but Retribution is sorely outclassed here and has some really dull lines (force a dick in the clitoris with AIDs on top?). Gasmasq's second verse was a mixed bag for me, I can't help but feeling like he was goaded into making his entire verse in doubletime by the fact that he was probably going to win anyway and that the beat was kind of slow to begin with. For the first verse, I'd hand this battle to Gasmasq. By the way, not a huge fan of this beat, seems a little overdramatic and it was almost a minute before the battle started.

Also I've listened to this about four dozen times and have done my best to transcribe what the hell he's actually saying. Some lines, like "Clinical lil' girl scout the lyrical holster" are obviously incorrect.

Retribition vote while I send it to you slow
Where you get it from and tell me what he said? Wait, no
Scratch rap track rapping on your whack gas
Little pitiful kid whipping up the track mass
Don't playin' no games, fed up I'm so pray
And forget about your own break, long day
I'm bulking on the fact you be choking on a gat
He just pushing on the mass
Imma show you where it's at
You fold like poker, Origami made me closer
Clinical lil' girl scout the lyrical holster
Then stop in your tracks pissed off on bat
Slipknot till your head and Beretta's gonna mat
I'm better than you now and I'm better than you'll ever be
Hitting on your chick and she's gotta hit some alchemy
Kid you are about to see down for the count of three
Two one, you don't get the fuck up out the ring
I don't care if you gotta shit, nope, not a bit
Echoes on your vocals ain't gonna make you ominous
I'm on a solid tip, go ahead and ask 'em
I can look track run then it's blast 'em
Last one standing fans be demanding
With their hands in the stands for the grand champion
Don't look at me what I did to hip hop
And be you about to see that this is ripped off

[GQ - Clabtrap Hype Free]

Oh daaaamn. I heard about 20 seconds of this and thought this was a little below your usual stuff. Then I scroll down and see it's a freestyle? Daaaamn! Awesome flow and delivery. Still a little short though.

[CLAB - Jakobe vs Sky]

Sky mumbled and slurred a bit on his first verse but cleaned it up a lot on the second. Honestly I feel like Jakobe just has him far outmatched in this one. I am totally in love with the beat though, so awesome job to the both of you!

[Twenty Fourteen]

This not only is longer than most of your works, but feels longer as well. The instrumentation is varied and dynamic, and the 'something missing' that I often find myself complaining about in your songs is filled in with multiple layers of music. I really like that you have moderately paced percussion to keep the beat moving along while your sustained notes really draw out the length.

Like most of your stuff, the timbre is hyper-resonant to the point of being a little grating, but that's your style so I won't knock you for it. I think a grainy version of this song would sound really awesome though, perhaps if it sounded like it was coming out of an old radio or from the next room over?

Really great work, it sounds like you put a lot of work into this!

ShinsukeIto responds:

Thanks so much for the review! And yes, I have been trying to find that missing piece, that 'professional quality' - if you will - that many polished musicians seem to have.
As for the feedback, I'll be sure to experiment with different effects in the future, especially the 'old radio' one... that sounds interesting to recreate.

Thanks as always Kwing, and HNY!

[CLAB - Eye-Cue vs Teqneek]

Both rappers have great flow, but I didn't feel like either had very personal punches or hard hitting comebacks. Even so, Eye-Cue had some really clever lines (Def Leppard's drummer) and the Godzilla/mozzarella rhyme was pretty crafty. Nice doubletime too.

Teqneek wasn't bad but some of his lines didn't seem very well thought out. Like every else that battles him he makes one too many lines about Eye-Cue's name.
"Where you find that dying is quite brutal and I rule."
Seriously? Three syllables short and you fill it with that?
The epitome/epiphany line had potential but "I don't think Eye-Cue ever made it through highschool" really isn't a strong follow-up, and it's not much of an epiphany either.

Eye-Cue wasn't without his faults, either. Seemed like he just wanted to be offensive all the time without saying much that was actually relevant to Teqneek.

Overall my vote goes to Eye-Cue for (slightly) more wit and more captivating flow.

Teqneek responds:

Hey at least I pronounced epiphany correctly.

[KEKEKE]

You've got a decent beat but the volume control is way off. Sometimes your voice gets way too quiet. Your lines are decent and I feel like they tell a pretty good narrative. The writing was far from airtight though.

I point click and let the gun say
What for the longest time i was gon' say

Seriously?

Decent but sounds like a rough draft if you ask me.

[Nghh11 - Joey Keys Vs Pig]

Nice beat. Pigpen totally demolished Joey in my opinion, he kept his cool and threw the hardest hits.

[Mischief]

Sounds like a cross between some Spyro theme and the Mt. Zozo theme from Final Fantasy 6. Kind of loud and obnoxious but I like it anyway. Kind of short and seems like it's unfinished.

Lashmush responds:

Yeah, theres definitely some Uematsu in there. It was just a creative brainfart I felt like entertaining briefly. c:
