really like the pitch shifting on the hi hats, might have to steal that one hahaha, j/k. Im not on the trap tip at the minute, the one I posted here was something I barely started ages ago, being as Im back to work Im scraping the barrel here lmao.
I like the feel of the beat, its not what Id typically call what Ive come to know as a Memento beat. Nice work. PS, I cannot reply on FB for about another 29 days, Im banned again for calling a cunt a cunt.
It's the second beat I'd published and I had some fun. Still trying to find "my style"
Hope you guys like it. Any comments are welcomed
wasnt sure what to expect or where it was going at first, but once the drums dropped it sounded dope. The variation keeps things interesting. Nice work, plenty of room for the emcee. Welcome to ill.
so here's what i came up with this week after listening to shittons of Japanese Math Rock xD
My first thoughts are Im not sure if I like the drum pattern or not, I like it because its different, but at the same time Im in two minds whether the pattern works for me. Second time around and I still cant decide, the off beat snares would work for something like dancehall, but just cant decide if it works for hip hop, the drums work for the hook I have to say that. Ive decided Im not going to tell you to change them, just keep doing you, they sound fresh and different, thats not a bad thing. I enjoyed listening to it twice.
As usual its dope. Takes me back to the late 90's to late 2000's, has a good crossover between the rap and the rnb. Some aspects of the percussion are reminding me of Timbaland for sound choice. Takes me back to the neo soul days, and around the time Kelis was big, I used to make loads of mixtapes with just this type of music, not too hard and not too soft, music you can bounce to without falling asleep like with a real slow jam, I never really did slow jams. Keep grinding man, I like it.
I really like this one, from the start the atmosphere is great, throw some kung fu film samples in there and call it a wrap.
Im thinking more Wu Tang than west coast personally. Just the feeling it gives me, really do like the feel of the track, it has a gutter feel to it, dope.
@Memento Beats I'm feeling the vibe as yes indeed it is comfortable.
Here goes me at
First thing I would like to say is that its about fucking time, waited a long time to hear this.
What Im going to say is purely constructive as Im really glad you have finally got around to doing your thing and would like to see you do more of it, and be the best you can be, this is just my opinion from experience, its one opinion of many so take it with a pinch of salt.
Firstly I think you could add a little more energy to the delivery, emphasising words on the snare hits for example, and getting a little hype with it, I want to feel like you really mean what you are saying, and I think the flow could be a little tighter, I felt like it was a bit loose.
The vocal could be a little louder in the mix IMO too, more upfront. A more energetic delivery with some emotion could raise it up enough. But being as this is your first showcase I wouldnt worry too much about mixing vocals right now.
Everything I said here is to be expected considering its your first showcase, but at the same time, Ive heard people that have rapped for years sound a lot worse. Cant wait to hear the next one now, but please consider what I have said, I think it will help.
Cooked up two beats recently, Please let me know what you think
Tyga beat. I like the vocal sample you have there, I think that really works. I feel like the beat is missing something when it drops out though. I think something should come in when it drops out just to fill that void.
Machine Gun Kelly beat. I think the main snare could have a little bit more variation, especially at the end of each 8 bars. The bass is over doing it a bit too, too much distortion.
On the mix side of things I think the vocal is too far back in the mix and should be more upfront. The vocal also sounds a bit dry, and like I said to OGBama, I would like to feel like you really mean what you are saying, inject some energy into it, get me excited about what you are saying, thats just what I personally like to hear in a rap, one of my all time favorite rappers is AG, I like when he raps with energy and dont like when he doesnt. The beat is dope, it doesnt feel like its lacking anything to me, good work.
