[[E7] The Rain]

Tone!

Great approach on this, the tone in the voice fits very nicely with the beat, symbiotic almost. Great example of the MC's imagery inducing/descriptive lyrics.

Short but fu<kin awesome!

GloineFiodh responds:

thanks mao. the beat inspired me 100 %

[ATM.Melt-Away Aesthetics]

Wtf...

Why havent I heard this yet? Damn it man, you gotta send out mass broadcasting signals so all us brain washed consumers can hear this. You already know; writing inclined lyrics.,ATM speaks philosphy and the thoughts of the sensible.

So I guess I should give a bit of critique: Though the delivery is quite slick (above average) it feels bit held back(as if this was a back up file, a WIP if you will). Still this sounds better than any of my "finished tracks". Stop raising the bar!

[Lejin - 2011 warm up]

Being number 1 has its responsibilities...

meaning, you gotta defend you're title whenever someone wants to take your title... Glad to hear NG's legend defending his title. In the Battle for NG's Hip Hop #1 position, Qsik tried to smother Lejin with a pillow, Lejin woke up; smacked Q with a shovel and then buried the kid.
Slick flow on this one, some of your best Lej.

Lejin responds:

Poor little boy is in denial right now and is feel queer-sick in his mommas home lmfao POW KO!!

[Go Hard Or Go Home]

Nice build up!

I like how the melody builds with that synth sound, the panning is also nice! the bass line seems likes its missing something tho... sounds too flat. Keep em droppin Dre-17!

Dre-17 responds:

thx micky. i finished this beat but neva posted the finished version. to be honest, i just kinda got tired of postin beats on here cuz of the zero voters and the ppl who download but neva give any feed back on my music. i appreciate the time yu took to review this to. thx again

[Gaston Bridge]

Nobuu!

This really feels like a dark cavern feel to it; I'm gettin a FFIV vibe from it. This is sick, even thought it not hiphop :P

[WatchItBurn - Mr. Virus]

hmm...

solid beat, the strings are sick and the drums are decent. I really like the crashes on the hook;really adds a catalysmic feel to it (maybe the crashes are used a bit too much); but Im not really feeling the crash on the verse parts, it sounds a bit constrained and hollow. As for the vocal sample; I like the sound of it; the crunky sound adds some grit, I would've liked to hear the vocs chopped/scratcched up a bit to fit with the beat.

Good to see ya back on NG Mr.Virus, keep the heat comin!
Peace

SucoVidya responds:

Cheers Mickey.

I'll make some adjustments to it. Looking for a good sample for swipes/scratches. It was hard to resample/slice the sample because of the quality (swiped it from youtube)

Experimenting with a few programs at the moment, maybe i'll give this a go through reason.

[I'm Bulletproof]

Skill killin it!!

DJ, Rapper, Lyricist, Emcee and Scratch Artist! DAMN!! Dropping a solid production like this in 5 hours; thats skill and talent. Props man , real hip hop going down here.

Keep it kickin in the Oldschool portal.

InvasiveInsomniac responds:

Uhhh, thanks? Wow, this kinda surprised me.. Thanks heaps for it, now you can see where I was coming from with that other song 'Where the boo(ze) at?'.. It's not very lyrically skilled and the beat is weak. But, thanks heaps for the great score and review. :)

[The Modern Warfare 2 Rap]

Hmm...

Ya got a steady flow and some creative lyricism. There is a lot of energy in your flow, but the tone and emphasis sounds flat. The adlibs and overdubs are good, adds some punch to it. Im not much a fan of the beat, whistle sound = bleh; but the keys a slick.

Nice work, Wheres the Black Ops Remix?

InvasiveInsomniac responds:

Yeah, thank you, constructive criticism is always appreciated. :)

I wasn't too happy with how I recorded this song, as I didn't put any effort into my voice, I just talked really... but I didn't feel up to re-recording it, so i just chucked it up here.

And Black Ops Remix is on my to-do list :)
