This is the first hip hop tune that I've ever done. I usually produce more ambient and electronica stuff, so go easy on me ;) If anyone would like to rap over this, go ahead as long as you give me credit for the beat (and let me know you are using it). I am also willing to remix/rearrange parts if you need longer or shorter verses, etc... Enjoy!

"Hmmm.."

I read the review below me and i have to say, he's right about some things, but i don't really like the way he tells it. I don't like that at all. So, i'm going to write a proper review for you and not like that guy below me.
00:00-00:41
The way the song starts with those drums is pretty simple, but it works here. Maybe you could tweak the velocities here, so that the drums aren't just suddenly there, but that their building up more.
I like that lead you have there and the bass (a sine?) is right in this part of the song. It's not too heavy, but i can still hear it.
00:41-00:59
The gun sound effects that come in are pretty cool, but i think you should sync them with the song a bit more. And if that's not possible, just delete them and add something else there, just to prevent that the song gets too repetitive.
01:00-01:09
What you've done right here is that you replaced the bass. This one is a bit heavier, but, it's not heavy enough. Also, when it hits the really low notes, you can barely hear what tone it's playing. I think it would sound much better if you replace the bass here.
01:10-01:38
The melody comes in and it still sounds the same. Try changing the synth there and also what's it's playing. Bring a bit more variation in the song.
Btw, I like what the drums are playing (it could be better, but it's still good), but you should try some different samples. 'Specially that kick you have there just doesn't sound right.
01:39-01:43
I like that break. Nothing more, nothing less :P
01:43-02:02
It's the same as before. That melody and the bass and the drums. It think you should try to change the song more after the break, not just repeating the same patterns. Try to make a whole new pattern for the bass, melody and drums after that break. Sometimes this really helps to avoid repetitiveness.
02:02-02:21
The same, but with the heavier bass too.
02:21-02:36
I like this ending, it suits the song pretty well.

Overall:
This song has potential, but some things really need to be changed. I think i see this song as a unicorn.. but without a horn. So, yeah, it's just a horse now, not really anything special. But, if you DO add the horn then it suddenly IS something special.
Maybe i'm a bit weird to compare a song with a unicorn, but i think you get my point :P

Author's Response:

haha nice. Thanks for this in-depth review, dude! I actually didn't take this song too seriously, kindof like how I don't take hip-hop/rap too seriously (nor do I ever listen to it). I think the main reason I made it as repetitive as it is, is mainly for the easy addition of rap vocals... but yeah, it is pretty damn repetitive ;) Thanks for stopping by MH16, you're always welcome here!

"Lame..."

date: May 4, 2009

WTH

Just becouse u through some Guns and Amunition in this Techno monstrocity

Does not mean its a Hip Hop Beat (or w.e the fuck u wanna call it)

i will give u credit for ur melodie its working for me

But everything else remotly sucks streight ass

get rid of those Lame ass cheese drums and grab some nice High Quality kick hat and Snares

or Divide up some kick ass loops

that bass sounds realy Gay, besides a Rave/techno Bass isnt the same as a hip hop bass

u cant here some one wile they are rapping over such a noisy bassline

Some of ur Hi Hat work is shitty as well, thats (once again) for a Techno song

this beat is not Un rappable (becouse all beats are rappable) but if any one were to rap over this face paced wad of noise it wud sound very odd

also ur not following some of the Rules to a hip Hop beat

16 Bar Verse applied by 4/8 bar Chorus/hook

WITH THE EXEPTION!!!

if ur duing a song not ment to be rapped on

so did u purposly make this beat all un organized?

cus if u did its not as artistic as u thot it wud of been to do so

(my opinion entirely)

If u want to Try again im open to give u more pointers

also im usualy on AIM as well, and i answer my PM box 100% of the time

[altho usualy filled with Fan-boys n' Girls about requests]

couse this is WAAAY to much fail here bro

4/10

cus that main melody was pretty decent

Author's Response:

I'm sorry it's too much "fail" for you. I don't like rap. I don't listen to rap. So rap is what I thought this song closely resembled. I appreciate the criticism, but you could probably do with a lesson in manners if you want anybody to actually respect your opinion. (Just MY opinion)
