I can really tell that you're strongly influenced by Dilla, even in your other beats. I loved the way you flipped this sample. The vocal samples were amazing. I could totally chill to this. Awesome beat.

Sirhc7000 responds:

ha yes I am HUGELY influenced by Dilla for sure. And I agree that the sample is equally amazing. Props to the soul brothas of the 70s lol.

Thx for the review!

I love the synths and melodies used here. This should be in a pirate movie or something.

DCMB responds:

Thanks! :D The track was supposed to be somewhat pirate related.
Thanks for the review!

This is good beyond words. Every single sample was made your own, to the point that it's hard to believe it was sampled at all. Awesome work, especially with the bass, in my opinion, simply because what was sampled was originally not a bass to begin with. Awesome work with this beat. I love your style.

GunstarGreene responds:

Thank you dude.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet. I loved the brass in it. And as usual, the bass was completely amazing. Your use of scratches once again was a perfect addition to an already nearly-perfect song. Awesome work.

SHADOWFOX2 responds:

Ah a familiar name, long time no see!
I kept trying to think about where in this track I put brass in; I had forgotten I put a sax in
You liked the scratches too hmm?
I'm still trying to get better with using those
I've got a nightmare about them all sounding the same
Thanks for another review!

Really good lyrics. Nice flow. Everything came together nicely in this track. I agree with this, commercial hip hop has really screwed everybody's impression of the genre. Even mine, for the longest time. I hated hip hop, until I started finding stuff like this, and now I know what I've been missing. Thank you for inspiring me.

NormSaxYT responds:

Thank you very much for your review. Hip hop is a way of life and not just a means to an end. Live it, love it.

Could use some mastering, but it's a good sound overall. I like the snare rolls especially. Not much else to say about it. It could be amazing with some EQing and the like.

Naroghin responds:

Yeah, this cut is directly from the composition software to audio file. Normally the audio files are used more as reference materials for players rather than advertising, but in this venue I agree that it needs mastering. I have the resources and ability to master it, but not the time (as per yet). Maybe I'll master all my stuff later.

Thanks for the pointer, it seems to be a very important one around here. Most people discard the music if it isn't polished.

I like this. Very fast and energetic. The melody was awesome, kinda reminded me of the space courses in Diddy Kong Racing. Awesome job.

Halotopic responds:

Yes it kinda does actually!

Thank you for your review!

Sounds like a Crash Bandicoot or Donkey Kong theme. Maybe ever Runescape. I like it. the synth melody was pretty cool, the percussion was amazing. Sweet track.

SirKoto51 responds:

Thanks Man.

I love this. Very spacy sounding. The background piano was a nice touch. The main synth was beautiful. Very good track. I'm going ot fav this.
