I like what you got going, but here's my suggestions. 1. Work on delivery being on time like ups. 2. Smooth out the vocal I can tell your hold back the true style inside you. 3.Work on making the vocal track sit in the right frequency band so it's surrounded by the beat rather than floating over the top. Nice start, you'll be on your game if a few weeks if you practice and freestyle in your head every where you go.
i think bad salsa is ill. your drums kinda splat on headies from love story, like the bass is in need of tightenin. then again i'm using some sony cd350 so...

Just freestyle in your head while listening to your beats where ever you go and just look at situations unfolding around you while in a park or on a bus and rap off top about the things you see that way you'll always have a new topic if you lose your train of thought or trip up on the rhyme you had going.
Plus freestyling in a cipher is always more stimulating 'cause you can link off the next man like cold crush brothers and continue from their flow into yours and off to the next cat. Also one other thing you can do to get your skill up is do like word association and rap about whatever word pops in your head and go for as long as you can until you run out things to rap on and start a new word and repeat the process. Rhyming off the top of the dome is kinda like a trance state, you don't try to consciously focus on ideas as much as just open your mind and let the words flow into your mind and out your mouth if that makes any sense. Like most humans have a filter from their mind to their mouth so they don't offend people, but when I freestyle I try to turn this filter off so it's just a pure flow of expression at the moment it leaves your mouth and hits the mic. Then there's writing rhymes but I'll save that for later since this shit is way too long anyways.

I used to MC a while back - when i would listen back at the recordings I notice a big difference in my delivery and sound depending on where I was and who I was with.
