What Up Steemians!!!

I'm proud to bring you a review of The Rap Challenge brought to you by @rondonson and sponsored by @teamsteem & @adsactly.

Twenty one weeks ago I ran across this contest after being on steemit for a little over a month. For me it was a way to escape and interact with other like minded hip-hop heads. This contest was one of the main reasons that I kept coming back to steemit. Getting other peoples critique on my entries helped me come out of my shell sort of speak.

I'm pretty grateful for all of the support that I have gotten from the community thus far. It really goes to show how small acts of kindness are payed back 10 fold by the universe. Last week I think I subconsciously went over so I would not "compete" against anyone.

This week I'm going to be using @booster to pump up the blog post for entries that were submitted to the rap challenge. Just my way of giving back to the contest that started it all for me !!!

🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥🔥 🔥🔥 🔥Another week of great entries 🔥 🔥🔥 🔥🔥 🔥🔥 🔥

I started by counting the entries with the #rapchallenge tag since I didn't see the submission thread until this morning. I've literally have been trying to write this review all day!!! I try to get them out before noon but I figure it is noon somewhere in the world.

Man I have a feeling that you are going to carve out your own niche here on steemit. The hip-hop community is only just getting some traction. You pretty much arrived on the ground floor of what is being built here. Your flow is slick and you delivery impeccable. You going to make it hard for newcomers to compete. My hats off dude you killed it!!!

Another really dope entry!! I lean more towards people who have conscious type of lyrics in their music. It shows a bit of musical maturity. I love the fast spitting style that you did in this entry. Wordplay, flow and delivery are off the charts. Again really good entry and I'm wishing much success here on steemit.

My man ken!!! You stay on your grid dude. I see your daughter made a cameo and actually stopped you from rhyming. I'm wondering if that was part of the act? At any rate you have progressed at lot since you have been here. Your riding the beat more and lining up your punch lines. Stay at it dude!!

Welcome to the rap challenge. It's cool to see new comers throw their hats into the ring. You just happen to pick a week where everyone is killing it. I thought your lyrics were pretty dope but i think you could have added a little bit more energy into it. I'm hoping to see you around here a bit more often. Keep at it!!!

Welcome to the rap challenge!! I really wish that you would have created a blog post so I could have used @booster. Your flow was pretty dope and touching on all of the subjects that I like to hear. You have a smooth laid back type of feeling to how you spit. Keep at it and I hope to see more in the future.

Yep!!! You killed that.!!! I thought since you were laying down that your flow would be laid back as well. You proved me wrong and commenced to spittin heat. Glad you have participated and I hope to see more from you in the future. Be sure to create blog post so you can get double the rewards.

I had to play your entry a couple of times so I could make out the lyrics becuase the volume on your mic was pretty low. Overall I did like what you were saying but you should try and put a bit more energy into it. It takes a lot of try and put yourself out there and I'm glad you decided to take part in the challenge.

Unfortunately steemit doesn't allow the embeded of dtube video's. They should probably change that A.S.A.P. Also I'm not sure what it was but there was no audio coming from your video. So I really couldn't give my review of it. I hope you can make adjustments in the future. I was really looking forward to hearing what you had to say.

The wrap up

This has been an awesome week and all of the entries from vets to newbies where really good. As you can see my top four are @jamesgetsit, @bryandivisions, @villainy and @scribblingwilly. I have a feeling @jamesgetsit might take the crown but I'll leave that up to @rondonson.

I want to thank everyone who makes this platform fun and rewarding. For me it's bigger than steemit, hip-hop or crypto. The money is only secondary, getting people to believe in themselves so they can shape their own way is more important to me.

One Love Steemit, Alao Out
