Positive Comments: This is filed under Pop Easy listening??? This reminds me a lot of Everlast’s “What it’s Like”. Very effective rap timing and delivery.
Constructive Comments: It sounds too much like What it’s Like, IMO. And for that reason I think it’s a “White Rock Rap” type of song that’s not really current now. Like Linkin Park, Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit, etc. The acoustic guitar with pickup doesn’t have a gutsy sound–I’d recommend either going with an amp or mic the acoustic. The beat needs more juice and variation–the Rap world has so much game these days (9th Wonder) that it’s hard to stand up with a simple rhythm track. The thug gangsta stuff is kinda worn out, and it doesn’t sound convincing here –compare it to Tupca, Ludacris, or Migos.
