Me Likey! It sounds like something 50 cent would try to resurrect himself on via mixtape...The only thing I would say about it is that the bass line...the way it turns around is good now but I hear another note at the end that would make it super funky

LouBez: Thanks for the feedback, bro - real appreciated! Love

420: I love the choice of sample, I can really imagine some certain kinda rap over this, can't put any names right now, but i certainly feel this one. Only suggestions would be, the low/low-mid sounds a little muddy, perhaps that could be tightened up? And this may just be a pet peeve, but the intro is a little long-ish for my liking... but that's just me at the moment, so I wouldn't worry too much about that!

Also, thanks for the feedback, I love the little bit at 41 secs too.

Gussto: Thansk for the feedback, really appreciated.
sagaramz - really love the bounce this one has! I reckon it'd sound even sicker if the snare was a little more snappier/poppier, it sounds a little thin right now. but still, tight.
" with vocals - sounds tight with vocals, but they may need to be a little louder? just a tad... or just mixed in better, they're clear, but feel a little to the back. nice tho, mayn.

It's cool, it might be the 150-500hz area, I'm not sure tho... just a guess.

And yeah, I was thinking the same... I hope it can stay live, I value the opinions here... I notice most people here are on some real shit, on some traditional hip-hop, all the samples n ting... I love that shit, but I make more of a composed ting... so it's good to get people's views on it... I like to try and stay authentic.

Feedback.

Iron Keys. I like this, good composition, and nice variation. Its a bit short tho, thats my only criticism.

Just Ripe aka Mr Banana(I watched the beats weekly), lol. At first I didnt like the choppyness or arrangement of the chops but then it sort of just fell into the groove. A nice beat once you get into it, I just found some of the chops a little bit awkward and misplaced.

Gusto. A decent beat it just seems to be lacking something. I think the drums could go harder, or a thicker bassline, it just seems a bit midsy. The snare is a little dry too, maybe put a slight reverb on it or layer another snare on it.
