[Dead End feat JP]

YO!!!

I like this alot, great flows here. Who comes in at 2:15? is that JP? i think so (that shit was ON) . Everything was good flowing on this track, I like all the style changes, Neither of you came back in the same way as you did before. Great transition. MASTR, you sounded kid rock at 1:25 haha, pretty cool. Nice work here.

[SH - Grocery Sax]

Killer

Tha sax is hardcore. Feels like a murder mystery amidst a mardi gras celebration. 2:00 minutes on is so fuckin chill that I think I just melted a bit @_@ Fyre track homie, keep em comein!

shaggyhaired responds:

Thanks man, glad you like it.

[Fame (Plan B)]

Pretty nice

Nice flows. theres a crackeling noise in your recording, maybe back ground noise? maybe it's on the beat. Loud vocals, you kno already tho. I love the way your killin this track tho, relentless flow withh sum butta lyrics. Good job

thirdvii responds:

the crackling is actually on the instrumental. I think 50Mercs was goin for the record playing effect.

[Paid My Dues Ft. Moody]

pretty good

YO! I been tryin to catch you on AIM. It's collab time. I like this but sumtimes it seems the lines don't have enough meat for the sandwich. "Tryna make a dolla, tryna do whats right. Threw away my old life cuz I dun paid the price. Now it's back to this, and back to that, Reminisce, I know you say you new at that" I can relate, nice lines. You do sum great mixing. Moody's verse flowed pretty damn well Sum of his word play is pretty good aswell. Get at me

Bleek989 responds:

yeah i was gonna redo my verse cuz after "i done payed the price" i started freestlyin it. thats where "now its back to this, and back to taht, you movin this, you say you movin that" comes in. but yeah tahnks man
hit me up we can collab

[FunkADunk]

I like this

Cheeseadelicaly Funkinated. I enjoy this song, It puts me in a good mood. I could make a good joke track with this.

[SH - Lounge Pound]

pretty good

Bass is a bit loud, the snare is a bit better. Great name for the feel of the beat. Drums still repeating. Decent beat here tho, my fave part is at 2:14-3:00. Bass could be a bit crisper and less boundingly loud.

[HW - Practice]

Has potential

This seems kinda cluttered at times. The epic melody at 1:20 is grand, it blends well with the (flute?) instrument and the voice sample. the lead melody through the begining is not so enjoyable, Kinda sounds like sumone spit in a tuba :/ 1:41-2:04 is the main enjoyment IMO, the flute is awesome and the intro is great. :34 is the addition of the melody that makes me frown. This has good potential. don't chalk it, or at least don't chalk 1:41-2:04, it tells a great story.

haywirehaywire responds:

thanks man i totally agree with you, i wanted to do one of those 'trippy intermissions' as freddy does but im not too good at those..

[HW - Strollin]

I think that this beat recruited NASA

("Strollin" through the chasm of a cluttered atmosphere spalshed, dashed, and blottered with the array of lightyears of gas clouds collideing with losely bound molecules wimsicaly co-ordinateing the unique vision of an expanseive and endless universe in my brain.) A.K.A - Astral voyage through the graffitti of spacee, nuff said....

haywirehaywire responds:

haha thanks mannnn

[SH - Theft]

I think so..

This is grandious! I'm glad you didn't add "swag" as was suggested on another of your beats. As If swag could be added to a beat without diamonds.... This is nice, The drums once again are repetative, and the snare needs much work. The melodies flow well tho, and create this into an instant classic in my book. I enjoy the phase on the intro, Reminds me of a few bangin Olskool artists ;) I think that putting a bit more work into your drums would do your production a world of good. I understand that repetative is great fro rapping, but progression is even better because it is the grounds for skilled rapping. Again, I will probably write to this song, actually, for sure to this one because it is much easier to follow than the track with the harp (Harp kinda threw me off the beat, but was not bad at all, just didn't fit to my style.) You are definetly getting better with samples. Just remember Quality is better than quality, and an extra hour or so perfecting the drums can turn a hip-hop track from soiled to boiled.

shaggyhaired responds:

Thanks man, could you PM me some tips on mastering drums or a site that has tips?

And yeah, I'll spend more time working on a more varied drum part.

Thanks for the review!

[SH - Chill Out, Batman]

Nice work With the chill again

I wish the batman sample would co-ordinate with sumthin that sounded like an ol-skool batman melody for the sake of the name and sample. Duna Duna Duna DUna Dun. lol. Nice chill beat, a bit repetitive , but can be dealt with for the chill factor. Transitions in your drums would be very nice on this track. also the EQ of the snare could use touch-up's(i'm no producer, as i've said plenty, but this is my opinion.) Alos, amp the bass! The melody is pretty fuckin sweet! Keep up these nice sub-mainstream beats, It keeps the heads of the people that live in reality bobbing....
To the review before mine(a.k.a DJ ses) "Swag" in hip-hop is a term coined to represent the ever present materialistic nature of modern hip-hop. This cat has his own style that ascends the modern hip-hop genre, as do many of the artists on NG that post on Olskool(theres a change to the game comeing..but who know's what it is, I hope it's not another "swag" era). Your beats are pretty cool and modern, but I don't think you should dawg this mans beat for being less serving to the mainstream than your own. I know you don't get much love from the NG community as a whole, but it's no reason to tell another that he should conform to the binding nature of modern emphasis in order to stroke a penis and restrict the minds of others. He makes pretty good music. So do you, I think your experience should apt for a more educated and relavent review.
