    Diggin Thru Crates Is A Habit

    I had an mv8000 back in '07

    Breathe

    I think there's opportunity to make some of the annunciation sound cleaner and more natural, it sounds forced when you're rhyming and sometimes inconsistent/unnatural to the ear (the "I in team" line comes to mind).

    Keeping it retro

    Cole: sample is dope and drums are on point. there where some parts of the beat where I felt the supporting instruments/vocals could have been a hair louder but admittedly it's also hard for my mind sometimes whenever I hear a known acapella over a new beat to really listen with 'fresh' ears...

    Is my name cool?

    Boner Beats.com and I'll have the intro from my last battle submission playing on repeat.

    Are you sober when making beats?

    There is a quote "write drunk; edit sober" that I've see referenced on topics about innovation. I'm sure there are many variations.

    Ohhhhhhhhhhhh snap.

    Is my name cool?

    Dusty B was the name I used back when I was a teen and now I'm revitalizing it as I've gotten back into the swing of things. But now that I'm starting to build my YT and other pages... what say you? Should I take this opportunity to rebrand or fuck it and keep it Dusty? I know it's up to me but...

    Are you sober when making beats?

    I'm fucking ripped out of my mind 90% of the time.

    How successful are you on Beatstars?

    haha. I've actually been thinking about having YT be my primary (since it's YT...) and then maybe creating a gumroad account since I have more control, especially since I sample a lot so any contracts and agreements with folks I work with will have to state that the rate is based on my time as a...

    Thanks man, appreciate the insight!

    How successful are you on Beatstars?

    How successful are you on Beatstars or Airbit? I've been contemplating creating an account, mostly because I don't want to grind and grind but want to focus on having fun making beats (hence why I only have a YT right now). But obviously if I could make a little bit of money to cover the cost of...

    Diggin Thru Crates Is A Habit

    What's up! I need to get back into digging records. I don't even own a record player anymore. Just Spotify & Spytify. I'm a sell out.

    Luda working on new stuff

    you say this to me all the time, I thought it was part of the initiation here.

    Interlude type beat?

    I wanted to try something different, so this is a bit of a homage to my OG "DJ" days, aka when I was first starting to mess around with music at 10 years old by rearranging premade loops. I had no idea what mixing was or really much of anything then, I just liked rearranging the sounds I had. So...

    Piano + Heavy Metal Guitar??!!

    Cool, thanks for listening!

    New beats in progress

    Same, I usually make beats at night and I can usually get 80% or so in the 10pm-midnight ish block. Then lately I've been finishing the mix throughout the day in between my day job. For me I've learned that if things just aren't flowing after that first session, probably best to just toss it or...

    New beats in progress

    Falling is really cool but it's missing something, I can't pinpoint it. But I started losing interest after the intro as I felt the intro was the most exciting part. Could be more energy in the drum pattern. You and Me is really smooth and I could see a rapper/singer type going crazy on this...

    Tomblr: Fog Around (Boom Bap Beat)

    I really like when the Piano comes in. It fills out the melody and I think completes the beat. I think having the low piano run throughout with some variations as needed would be dope.

    DJ Premier ft. COMMON - In Moe (Speculation)

    yeah that's fair. I have a feeling they won't just disappear. He's too big to eventually have that shit released (if it exists) because it'll make a ton of money. Maybe 40 years from now when he passes his kids or whoever takes over his label will release haha. is there a list of all the...

    One Of My Beat

    How did you get linked up with the promoter? Sorry for all the questions, just curious of folks journey's and how they met the people they needed to meet to monetize their craft!
