LOL!  I think I can tell that you're a Fruity Loops user.  Anyway, I think you do a great job of creating tension and buildup... could do without the vocals, and in some places the instruments and rythms you choose to use don't seem to "fit" very tightly.  My only other criticism would be that some of your choices for drum sounds kinda undermine the rest of the beat... that being said I think your beat is fucking awesome... it has a very orchestral feel to it, almost like it could belong in a movie score.

not bad at all homie...my only suggestion would be to keep it a little more simple....alot of the "extra" sounds in the background clutter it up a bit at times. good shit though.

Yea that's the other thing... it feels really "dense," so you might wanna consider trimming some of the extraneous sounds... like it might sound tight now, but along with vocals shit might start to sound cluttered.

wow, and i finally gave up to look into this thread hoping for some feedback ;D

FL? letme guess - b/c you know the snare-clap, right?
your partly right
i used FL as a drummachine, rest is done in cubase though

dense?
hmmm, i thought about that too
but i showed the beat to others, and they all told me: the idea is very nice, but somethings missing - there need to be some vary in the beat

but i was showing it more to non-rap-listeners, so maybe they misunderstood the concept of beats - hrhr
but lets see, if its seeming too dense i can take something off

but big thx for the criticism, positve and negative appreciated!

reminds me kinda of a movie score too.  Like a Bad Boys type thing.  Timpani is a little loud tho.

its dope bro... I dig it.  I like the orchestral buildup...it really adds to the song.  My suggestions are as follows.



1.  Tempo should be sped up...about 5 bpm.


2.  The timpani's are WAY too loud bro.  The panning sound on the timpanis is cool but theyre so loud, its abrasive and destructive to the overall mix. 


Other than that, I dug it homie.... good shit.
