Your writing has always leant towards an audio sense, whereby you concentrate on the flow first and content second. I think here your story was a good one, about a blossoming relationship that becomes doomed and ultimately ends. It’s something everything will have encountered, and can therefore relate to. However, I feel that your flow was a little bit sketchy here and there, and some of the lines seemed forced and oddly worded in order for the rhyme to fit. Also, your lack of multiple rhyming makes the read a little more laborious; this would not be a problem in audio, but in text, it’s incredibly easy to notice.
However, I still feel that the content was worthy of some praise, and I really enjoyed the amount of development you dedicated towards the two characters.
Favourite lines:
We took a walk, had a bite, went to movies, met your friends…
It was precious times with you I could see no end..
My pride had exceeded me while holding your hand
Tellin guys, ‘yeah this my girl’ and u say, ‘yeah thas my man’
The way I embraced you brought a warmth to your heart
And everything seem like it wouldn’t fall apart..
But later… the problems began to grow amongst us
The phone conversations were nothing but fuss
BaySick:
This verse was, to be it simply, a terrible read. Your wording is so god-awful that each line is just so difficult to read. Look at this, for example: “as he whines and yelps I shine a crack my belt I beat first with my shoe”. You really need to work on your wording, because this verse was a constant example of terribly constructed sentences. Furthermore, and as a result of this, your flow was disastrous. I’m not an individual who usually notices flow that much, but when it’s this bad it’s not hard to spot. Now, onto your content; I just didn’t see the story as anything special. A man beats his dog, almost daily, and then one day comes home and gets shot by the rightful owner. Your poor wording made the story staggered, sketchy, and seemingly jump from one segment to the next without any development, explanation, and so forth.
Overall, I think you could have approached this topic far better. But your poor grasp of the basic fundamentals of writing and rhyming really let you down here, and you really need to improve in those areas so that you can maximise your potential as a writer in this league. Sorry to come across harshly, but these are only criticisms and they are for your benefit.

He dropped a verse that was more polished, and basically better in every aspect.
