How much does audio quality affect the appeal of a vocal recording?

[Pax]

I am assuming that even if you have been doing rap since you were a teenager that still may not be very long. I have been listening to rap since 82. I believe that even though I am not a rapper I can tell what's good and what's not.

Jay-Z once said that the key to his success is that people around him tell him the truth. I believe that this is true for everything and everyone. I also told you that everybody or me may not like what you are doing. You have to find your own audience. On the other hand, If you can't find and audience and everyone around you is telling you that you sound good, then you need to find some new advisors.
I mean rap to a song without music. If you do need a beat then minimize it to a beatbox or drums. At the most minimal, I can tell you specifically how I feel about your rapping ability. We already know that your production is not good.

Here, Pax, better example.

I opened up two previous sessions and uploaded my acappella tracks. Is that what you meant? This is me rapping to a beat but without the beat mixed into the track.

This is the one that starts with "Ay yo stop, hold up, let me check myself":

Okay, I am in my work week. I'll try to listen to these soon and give you some feedback.

[Al B. Sure!]

Thank you

Why? Because Drake said so?

I don't like this answer.

I'm just saying the discussion has veered into an area I'm not qualified to talk about. So I'm out.

I've been doing this since I was a teenager. I know how to write. You all are the first to ever criticize my lyrical content. It's how it sounds on wax that is the problem.

Yes, yes. You're a lyrical wordsmith, a mother****ing genius. You clearly have no room for improvement.

This is good advice.

Jay-Z's not a good rapper, though...

[Tupac Shakur]

Jay-Z used to be an exceptional rapper.

[Kitschum]

That must have been way back, like before he started using children's choirs. He's a good producer.

[Tupac Shakur]

No, but he does have a talent for finding good producers.

[Kitschum]

Ok, so that's it. Point stands IMHO.
