    This is a matter of opinion but...

    Listen through your beat and see if any parts sounds too repetative. When you reach parts like these, try adding in little stuff like cymbals or toms.

    Album Intros

    The Future's album we dropped "Bout My Business" has one of the hottest intros ever. It's got Biggie and 2Pac talkin at the same time, than the Future drops it like "I'm bout my business, you're bout to witness, me put this industry outta business" Its official

    Chingy CD Review

    LoL You like the concept? What concept... the concept of hot girls and money? "Right thurr" is no different from any other song out now, (Lil Bow Wow's new shit, Nelly and P Diddy's shit,) the concept of hot girls and cars is getting old. That's why I like Gangstarr. They rhyme about that...

    The Neptunes

    Yeah the Neptunes are nasty, I'm feeling like 90% of thier beats they put out. As for Farell's singing shit... well.. that's a whole other discussion.

    neptunes or timbaland

    Yeah these kind of threads are old boring topics that we'll never find an answer to, so why waste our time gossiping like internet geeks about who's better.

    neptunes or timbaland

    It's funny... The Neptunes are 3 beat makers and I honestly think Timbo's shit is hotter. His beats are insane. He uses the sickest sounds, he'll put sounds together you would never think could go together. Neptunes are good too though, don't get me wrong. Timbaland in my opinion is nicer though.

    Fed up of sampling

    I have to agree with this part of his response. All hip-hop seems to be about now is who has the most money, or the most girls. To me, it's honestly all about making good music. I love hearing a nice artist rap to my beats, and that's why I do it. LoL, of coarse I love the money too, but to me...

    Fed up of sampling

    There's no shame in sampling, and DEFINENTLY no shame in making beats from scratch with your own sounds. (Like sounds for keyboards and stuff.) I like doing both. I personally look at it like this: when I make beats completely from scratch, (not using loops or anything like that,) it gives me a...

    Fruity loops

    It's all about adjusting the sound levels. I've been using ONLY Fruity Loops to make beats for about 3 years now, and eventually you'll figure out how to work those type of problems out. (I adjust the velocity and that usually does it for me.) *Honestly, aside from an MPC, I like Fruity Loops...

    Yoo!

    What up bro, good to see a new youngster around, I'm 17 also. Some kids on this board might try to talk to you like you're to young to know anything, but I know differently. Don't let the chumps get to you, there's a lot of cool niggas on this site, like Fade. You'll find out. Peace and welcome

    The Things I Hate...

    Re: So Damn Sensitive!! WHAT!!?? "When the last time" was sick, you're the first person I've heard say they don't like it. Also, the song "Virginia" had an ill beat by the Neptunes, and that doesn't sound like any of thier other beats.

    *No it wasn't bro, it was supposed to be what YOU guys hate in the industry. I was just listing what I didn't like.

    The Things I Hate...

    No not at all?? Ok, maybe you don't HAVE to take that risk but if you know you're nice it's more than ok to take a risk. Like I said, I knew people who thought that beat was one of thier hottest, it's all a matter of opinion. I don't care if the instrument is a pig squeeling, if it fits in and...

    The Things I Hate...

    Here's the point: since every thinking brain has different opinions, some people will feel beats that others dislike. I know some kids that thought Grindin' was off the hook, but I personally didn't like it that much. You gotta give props to the Neptunes though, because sometimes you have to...

    The Things I Hate...

    LOL, wow bro you seriously have some problems. The beginning of your post says, "you're a shit talking pansay ass mamas boy" (this from some dude who doesn't even know me,) than the end of your post says, "I don't talk shit." The funny thing is, you're older than me, calling me a youngster like...

    The Things I Hate...

    LoL, honestly bro, I don't give a fuck if you're tired of hearing me "go on and on about what I'm doing" because I know what's really good. *I don't have a beat in the showcase yet because this computer I'm on is a piece of shit, and the interenet is extremely slow on it. All of my beats are on...

    The Things I Hate...

    I just can't wait for you guys to hear what I'm bringing into the game. My boy the Future is CRAAAZY nice, he freestyles on average about 10 to sometimes 20 minutes everytime. His voice is just mad aggressive and it's like no one else in the game. Than I've got this other artist Mathew Frances...

    True Afriqedeluxe, sometimes a simple beat can just have a heavy bassline or kick that can be enough to fill in the emptyness of the lack of instruments. I know what you mean. *I have to admit though, that song by Jay-Z and Freeway on the 8-Mile soundtrack, ("8 miles and running got my second...

    Good point Fade, Making the Band is most likely all Puffy's "great idea" lol. I also agree about the wack rapper thing, you're right. You're either wack, or you are a rapper. Nicely put.

    The Things I Hate...

    The things in this industry that piss me off: - Cheesy, simple beats that people love just because of who made them. (For example, "The Cross" on the Nas cd. Eminem made the beat, and it's seriously so simple it's rediculous.) If I made this beat, I know for a fact all of my friends would be...
