Needs a singer
The bad: The chorus singing is a bit rough. I do like the singing outro part though.
The Good: The verses are tight, I'm digging the flow on this. Clearly you could use a better mic or recording set up, but your tone and expression are captured well with what you got.
I did some lines on this beat awhile ago, so Im definitely feeling the Teddygram beat. I like hearing what other kats do with a beat, and I'm really digging what you did with this. Keep at it.
Thanks alot man! I'm glad you call me on this stuff. I see it too, but it's nice to know. Slowly getting better everyday. Nd the new equipment is soon to come !! Thanks for reviewing all my posts
A new favourite
This is real music, straight from the heart. This is my new favourite Lejin track. Speaking of Tupac Resurrection, I threw you a Thank You in my "Giving Thanks" track, check it out sometime.
Great tune man, great track from ROF.
YES!!!
I've been waiting for this one! It turned out great!
I dunno what this is...
but I love it. The abstract sounds are insane, I felt my sanity slowly slipping away, whix is a gud thin! goose nipples, snadwish raddish cabbage
Hot
Gotta love the RZA beat. Im diggin ya flow; fast, steady and catchy. Great work.
thanks bro appreciate that lol
Smooth and Different
Great job to both of you. I like the uniqueness of this track, it's a lot different from what I usually hear, CREATIVITY! I really like the effect on the hook. My paradise would have Asian girls playing Nintendo DS on swing sets and endangered animals walking around freely without being worried of being shot in the face.
My paradise is haveing a DS game with endangered animals playing with asian girls on swing sets >.<
Awe...
When I'm reviewing beats here's how I determine whether or not its worth reviewing: 1) if I bob my head with it 2)if I try to freestyle with it 3)if the artist leaves thoughful comments about his/her music 4) if an emotion or a mental image is instantly triggered by the beat ) if it's a friend.
Out of this criteria this track met 3 of my points, I tried a freestyle (as soon as the page loaded too, but to be fair I was looking for a song to freestyle at the moment...), the comments clearly got my attention (thanks man), and your a friend.
Now to the music review:
The good: The melodies are quite pleasant to the ear. You really have a knack for creating original chords and note progressions that sound complete. The drum beat is cohesive, it loops well. I'm a sucker for piano, so the chorus keys are rich, deep and add a nice texture to the chorus.
The bad: Though the beat loops nicely, I felt that the clap in the 3rd bar was followed too closely by the first clap in the 4th bar (0:14- 0:15). I'm not sure what Reason has for VSTs, but the sounds for these instruments was too computerized. Yah I know getting that real sound is difficult when you don't have an orchestra to record with, but having an authentic/natural/human sound will always dominate the virtual sound.
Personally I wouldn't normally jam to this kinda beat, its a little too "sappy/over emotional" for my liking. But I'm honoured you spent 2 and half hours on this.
As for a suggestion: I know FL Studios lets you change the pitch of the notes, maybe experimenting with the pitch,tone and key on the bass hit, hi-hat, snare, or clap might add some spice to the drums?
Keep at it man. I'll keep reviewing these beats till you get a 10.
I also wouldnt complain if you threw out a rap, Im just saying.
Oh! And can I have your permission to use this beat for a song?
I'm glad I met your criteria lol.
I see what you mean about the claps. That's just me doing the usual "too busy" thing lol. The sounds on Reason are HIGHLY editable, but it's a lot of work and I'm doing these tutorials right now to get used to it and trying to set up some presets so it's not so time consuming in the future. Slowly, but surely, I'm working on getting used to this whole 'no samples' thing after what happened to Yun.
I'll see what I can do as far as a rap coming soon. I've got some planned, but my main mics are at diff places and I don't really feel like recording with my laptop mic (though sometimes I guess it's necessary :/)
And yes, you have permission to use this beat, though you don't need it thanks to Creative Commons, but I also wouldn't be opposed to you making money with this if that's what you're asking. As far as I'm concerned, it's YOUR beat. But y'know, if it gets you rich, you could always kick down. :D
Stay up brothaman

Adequate
The beat: simple, catchy and steady= perfect for lyrics
The rap: Mad skills, I dig the Canada line, keep it snowing! The fast rip "All we doing is....." is dope, if I had the patience I'd try to quote it all. A few times, the flow was a bit rushed, so the words weren't clear, but for the most part it was on point.
At first I was going to suggest maybe a hook would've been nice, but after a few listens I think it sounds dope like this. Well done!
Golly Gosh!
As soon as the beat dropped, I was sold. The only dull point in this song was the beginning, but the anticipation is worth it. My favourite part of this is the sax hook part; it's so organic and natural, holy moses man. I like the bass line, props on that, it rides nicely behind the samples. You need to buy me a new Ipod, Im running out of space because of all your music I need to put on it!
Solid
I am keeping in mind that this is meant to be spit on. So I will not comment on the simpleness. With some lyrics this could be a headshot.
This sounds like it belongs on a Sega Genesis game (SNES has a way better music chip). The higher pitched synth was too old-school video game for me.
I like the drum line is heavy and drives solidly through the beat. The downward scale at the end of each bar is nicely executed.
Overall: I like the premise of the beat, but the Sega Synths deflate my boner, so you owe me some Viagra.
Really man? Sega synths? And are you dissing my old school sounds? rofl. Glad you like the drums, but no viagra for you
Its what I do for fun.
