I don't hear the rap reference other than the teensiest bit of staccato to the vocals. I like it, I would love to hear the vocals delivered (?how do I describe this?) with a more round, relaxed throat and palate - to my ear, there's a forced, tangy, Billy Joel-esque quality to the delivery, which drew my attention away from the nice guitar work. grown up and rounded out, I think this could be a groovy tune.

I love the wide range of comparisons, from Robbie Robertson to rap. Anyone else want to weigh in? Wow. I love the wide range of comparisons, from Robbie Robertson to rap.

The vocals sounded a little too rappy for my taste... The opening guitar is awesome. The vocals sounded a little too rappy for my taste…

(and no drums.) it doesn't seem dynamic enough to me. maybe a more sophisticated chord progression and/or melodic change for the chorus would work better.
