    my first review for HipHopDX

    http://hiphopdx.com/reviews/id.2670/title.young-thug-slime-season-3#comment-widget

    honestly...i have a version that like 200 words longer but reads a lot better. i dont understand the obsession with cutting things down so much, especially if it hurts the point im trying to make but w/e. hope you guys like it.

    Because with journalism, usually if you can say the same thing in less words you should. The audience for a general review is "rap fans" not "thug stans." It will help you a lot to not get so attached to portions of your writing. I know it's hard but there's a reason the writer/editor dynamic exists.

    Anyway I read the draft last night, will read the final in a few!

    just going by their scale :kanye3:

    they had barter 6 at a 4, and im up at a 3.5 and this is definitely better than the latter but worse than the former :lawd:

    What? 7.6 is a good score. Plus HHDX is a real website so I'm sure they helped dictate his score to their standards somewhat.

    by their scale it would be (for me):

    tha tour pt 1 - 5.0
    barter 6 - 4.3
    ss1 - 4.0
    ss2 - 3.8
    im up - 3.5
    ss3 - 3.8

    tip: you shouldnt write sentences more then maybe 10-12 words. this is an ok review but ur first sentence isnt dynamic enough and is a run on. im guilty of this too but something to keep in mind.

    SS2 definitely not better than SS1. B6 & SS1 is very close though. SS3 is underated by Narsh imo.
