Haha, thanks Ruimixx. I really should've added more to it, but the track wasn't vibing with me enough for me to want to keep working on it. Good flip practice though.
Reviews
================
BigDTraxx: Really interesting, almost creepy. I personally think the pitch shift is a bit high, especially on the vocals, but I like the funky feel behind this. Kind of sounds like Dangermouse. The drums are on point and I like the hats you picked.
Emeezy: Intro's rather long, but I like it when the beat cuts in. Nice layering of the descending piano notes with the violins. Hats seem a bit too clean sounding, but I like the drums you've got going. The hook sounds a tad bit panicky (vocals), but perhaps that's the effect you were going for. Well done overall.
Knox: Wow, really nice. Definitely fits that old-school gangster type vibe. I'm liking the integrated sound effects as well, the only thing I don't like is that the screams seem a bit too overdramatic for the overall mood of the track. I'd also vary up the main loop a little bit here and there.
AK: I'm definitely liking the main loop, but I'd ease up a little bit on the cymbal crashes. The hook and the main loop also seem to be a bit disjointed, possibly because of the pitch shift. I like the vocal stabs that go on in the 2:00ish region.
Tricky Spinz: Wow. This really evokes a haunting, pensive mood. I'm liking the sounds you used for the bassline. This is an amazing flip. I bow.
Low: Flack n Dem is real nice, it's upbeat and fun. I'd ease back on the crashes. Just Flack: I think the distortion on the voice is a little bit weird.
Carpe Diem: Niiiice! I can definitely imagine a street-style MC on this track. The sample sounds really gritty and grimy, I like that. The snare sounds a bit too clean in that regard though; I'd dirty it up a bit.
Ruimixx: Awesome, I like the layers and the panned vocals. Atmospheric. I don't really like the vocals you added that weren't from the original sample though; don't seem to really fit. But this was really cool, and really creative.
Sanova: This is awesome! Real mellow, but simultaneously bright and uplifting. I like the vocal stabs, they're subtle but effective. The transition between the hook and main loop seems a little abrupt because of the high pitch of the vocals vs the mid/low sounds in the main loop. I'm really liking this, man. Definitely would vibe to it.
DMX: I think you have snippets of some real nice arrangements in there, but for me personally it's a little too chopped. Drums are well done. I like what you do for the hook in terms of arrangements go. Decent flip!
MS: The drums are a bit too wild for my personal tastes. The kick is definitely distorted. The chops are interesting; I like the main loop you've got going, but the 0:17 and onwards portions seem rather incoherent. Keep workin at it homie, you've got something.
