My brother's rap music... (advice/criticism request)

My brother thinks he's the next Eminem. Only I don't think he's too bad...

What do you think, there's only one track at the moment. He uses freeware instrumentals so there's no copyright infringement?

Yes. pretty good. But it is similar to a lot of UK HipHop which I don't really like. I prefer stuff a bit more wacky like MFDOOM. Uk hip hop just sounds like someone talking to me...

I know I compare everything to him (if you read my posts) but that's because he is the best, lyrically perfect and has some crazy rhymes and colabs with the best producers. then again it doesn't really sound right coming from most White English peoples mouths.

Anyway, lets wait for someone that likes this genre. But it is still good imho.

Any other input? Really want to know how people think he sounds...

He needs to sound more black.
You can tell it's a white person singing and it hasn't got that edge or attitude.

Cheers, just the kind of thing he's looking to hear.

I don't think his voice has the 'punch' it needs basically... Though the lyrics are good. Still not sure about the singing chorus bit..

He's obviously trying to copy Eminem and singing choruses work but he did go off key and a bit weak there.
Tell him to carry on what he's doing because lyrically and tunefully it was OK but he needs to get that attitude and confidence in there.

Nice wee tune and it wouldn't normally be my thing but is he english or from NI? Tell him to use his own accent
