Aight, as advised, this time ´round we´ll try somethin a lil different... 80s pop ballads, yup yup!!!

I can think of at least one frequent poster, thatd introduce us to hatred in its purest form if we aint get this right...

Haha... For real tho, I heard your shhh, it was dope! Ima be back with
the details...

BTW I took your challenge seriously - this time around I quit the soulstuff for a min. and switched up to raw, EVIL even!

man, i just got off work Last night&wanted2see if i couLd do something with it.

you're one of the iLLest dudes who came thru these boards since i been on here so i'm Looking forward to seeing what ur funking with on this one.

got some jack (gentLeman & honey haLf pints)& i'm gonna see if i can freak something eLse on here tonight

checked out your track judo, who's rappin on the beat? it just kinda sounds like the vocals are lower than the track. but the track is nice tho. I like how you slowed it down and have the vocal samples interspersed thru out the beat.

and thanks for the feedback on my track. i rhyme too so i might rap on it myself.

ALL good mane! That was me on the beats&rhymes

Like the dynamic build-ups via the hi-hats graduating from
16th notes to 32nd notes. Nice.

I can dig it.

i wasnt feeLin this one, but there it is w/ the audio preview.i think my$ht f/ Last night was nicer. bout2start on a new one in a sec..

http://soundcloud.com/triple-o/hello-otis-freestyle

Lol..from one rhymer to another rhymer tho, there aint no way this is 100% off the top of the dome .

- - - - - - - - -i'm not even givN a ______ right now&this jack honey bLend has me __________

Damn man, just... damn. Aint enuff for you to be first, now youve gotta do three!
Figured I was on par with your output when I got around to 2, and now you leavin me in the dirt like this?

Thats foul hahahahahahahaha!!!

BTW, thanks for the love, i´d like to think I´m contributin, motivatin my peers to do better, so that means a lot man!!!

Quick rundown:

1# Lovin the Bone whinin haha! What strikes me here is the solid underlyin melody buried under the bitcrush!!!

Def. dope line this time ´round! This still sounds like you, without bein´ too chaotic... And you added a verse, + 1.

3# Be on some dreamy shhh, I dig that. Somethin that makes you wanna kick back and just float away...

Again, melody flows in and out of tune, but thats part of the charm here... Dope for an ambience track!

---

Reason I aint finna judge your 2nd, ´cause of your own description!

Remember, quality over quantity - if you feel like the shhh MEHHH! Dont post up ´til you´ve got THE ONE man!!!

Keep it 100%

Be back in a lil bit.

hey what's up fam?

nice to see OKProducers back at it.

Here's a quick beat:

http://soundcloud.com/deksbeats/hello

thanks for listening!

peas

Deks

Two mainchords melody is really all it takes at times! Dope laid back vibe...

Chorus synths and piano blend perfectly, really takes it higher - a great example of layerin!

I dig how you´ve kept i clean, crisp. Theres always the fear of bein´ let down soon as the drums drop, but I wasnt...
- ´specially like the toms that brings the beat back in!!!

A few basshits leadin of to the reloop is a bit outa tune, but thats just minor...

that LittLe synth soLo that comes in around 3:35 - 3:55 was dope... and how you screwed the beat way down on the outro was a nice touch

what's up deks,

ill chop, and i really like the drum programming, the other sounds that you brought it was a nice touch as well.

Good shit Dukez.

Yo,

Thanks for the feedback! lot's of talent on this tread!

peace

Deks

http://soundcloud.com/admbmb/heh-whoa

Enjoy!

Peace,
AdamBomb

Whoa, you REALLY went lo pitch haha!

I was waitin for it to jump the octave all the time, but in the end, I appreciated the way you handled it...

That glitch thing you got goin DOPE, without sacrificin the hip hop vibe!!!

Also, props for the layerin´ - the organ, the synth, good at spicing your tracks up, camouflage the source - thats skills!

Massive subbass way upfront, but im guessin that was intentionally.

Tight mix BTW.

this is a raw ass mfkr right here!

daaaaaaaam. favorite shit i've heard in any of the 3 $e$$ion$ so far.

thats fire my dude

props

Cold blaze a J and sip some gin&cran to dat.

Hotness Dukez!

this is a raw mfKr! this is that new shit i'm taLkn about right here. i know i aLready said it, but i'm going to say it again. this shit is supersuperfunky to me.

check out my track,

http://soundcloud.com/venom362000/hello

-Monev360

Lil intro serves as a great appetizer.

Didnt really do non to hide the source, which is cool, hell, original is dope...

I really dig the main chops - well chosen, I was like "oh word?, thats that stomp" - with the right emcee this is a banger!!!

Lil breaks here and here adds to the wholeness.

If I am to point at somethin it´d be the lo end in relation to the tempo! I think the joint lacks a bit more bass/lomid to really shine at the lo tempo
- would complete the heavy creepin vibe!!!

Dope simple flip.

there reaLLy shouLd be more heads coming thru. i'd Like to hear somebody rhyming on this. pretty straight forward but dope. the bassLine and what u did with the keys aLong with the sampLe is fresh. nice joint

jmizzle like the rhymes but i didn't make this beat, I think this is mictao. sounds hot tho.

shit dude. my bad for reaL. apologies to MicTao that i put this in the wrong spot.

Instant headnod-factor.

Nice.

1 hr. 3 entries - I think thats a first for me.

http://soundcloud.com/torchbaras/88-streetwise-torchbaras

sounds Like some shit Xzibit might've ripped between his 2nd & 3rd aLbums. def. a different sound then the cLassic east coast fLavr u usuaLLy come with. when i heard the synth part at the very beginning i said, hmmmmm . u stiLL have your signature tuff drums sLappin, but came w/ the west coast-ish.

What sounds like a synthline is actually the fadeout outro from the original, reversed and run thru a scream filter haha!

like the different sound from you man

The beat is dark and vicious. I'm hearing The Lox on this one.

Keep bangin those beats out, Torch.

Lookin forward to hear what you´ve got in store!!!

this definitely has a different feel than your other tracks, torch.
it reminds me of a dre beat but a little more uptempo. when you go back to that part without the drums its like the mc could take a break and talk before they go back in. nice flip!

you´re right - the dark pianochords are actually somewhat reminiscent of Dre...

Difference is, mines aint multisamples lifted from Storch´s leftover keys hah... He does them nicely tho!

Far as emceein goes, yup, it could work as a rebreather OR one could just continue spittin´, I think thatd be dope too...

kilt!

you got the pianos sounding real different

extremely dope

Yours too.

...and that snare make a ninja wanna smoov break a heineken bottle
over somebody domepiece.

Anotha joint with immediate neck-snap factor.

Hot shit Dukez!

it does doesnt it?

Sure to AMP the spot somethin fierce!!!

Preciate the feedback man...

went a little different with this one (as I've been experimenting lately). may come back with a more traditional approach.


http://soundcloud.com/mictao/goodbye

I see you on creatin´ somethin´ a bit diff. but this aint THAT far from what i´ve previously heard from you man
- still hip hop! Was afraid you´d went dubstep on us...

I gotta say, well played, this shhh has some SERIOUS soul. I could def. hear someone spit some pain on this!!!

Dopeness...

And thanks.

never that....never that

Nice.

dude, i apoLogize-- i originaLLy posted this under venom's post by mistake. but here is your track:

Nice man!! Good lookin out

I gave naan fuckz about the EQ so a warning, the
mix is rough as shit(Brothaz was tired).

...the silent/hush vibe to this, beat almost comes across anonymous and I mean that in a good way...
Sometimes a POWERbeat can make an otherwise nice emcee sound just "ok" - wont happen here! Plenty of space.

The midbassbend leadin up to the re:loop was a nice touch, and them airy vox with the echo def. suits the vibe, dope!

Most of the time, when people say UNmix, its usually muddy, no hi´s - this came across just aaaight!!!

Drums needs it tho!

'preciate the feedback nahmeanz.

>...the silent/hush vibe to this, beat almost comes across
>anonymous and I mean that in a good way...

>just "ok" - wont happen here! Plenty of space.

^This captures my formula perferctly, I'm an emcee and beatsmith so my beatmaking-formula is that of not over-producing the beat, allowing enough sonic space for both the beats & rhymes to flourish comfortably without "fighting" each other for space. The beats & rhymes gotta be able to breathe, ya dig. You caught my approach dead-on.

Dig dat,
Lookin' forward to peepin' the other selections in here when I get to the crib(at the wi-fi spot right now wit no sound interface, internal soundcard is shot)But I know its some heat in here.
Good post.

preciate.

some smooth shit right here. i Like this one. the synth bass &keys sound dope on this. and how you ended it with the vocaL fade at the end was dope too.

pLayer shit.

you really gave it a real laid back vibe. nice work

Got a good flexible-time aesthetic on it AKA it *swings(drunk-funk).

Notha joint wit the cool-out factor, sip some gin&cran to dis
and cold lounge proper like.

Hotness Dukez.

thanks to all replied

i'm SUPER impressed with all the entries...especially at the diversity in tempo and emotion....

i think we could put together a whole album based off Lionels GENIUS (one damn song)

all those cats talking bout sampling aint an art need to be directed to this post

I hope some of these critics run thru these on the sneaktip, and leave with a refreshed perspective!!!

Really feelin this here, nice vibe, did a great job at takin me back...

I like the switchin filters (!!!), and the synthbass good support without stealin the show!

Drums couldve been phatter but hey, WHO CARES?

Solid. Work.

BTW, still got that next sample layin´ ´round???
Ready for another launch sooner than later.

this is all I can do for now

http://soundcloud.com/deemack1/lion-for-the-rich


Much props to those who participated and to those who took the time to listen

With all the acoustic dynamics ´round here, ´twas ´bout damn time someone did that haha!!!

I really dig the melody, also did a lot with the bass, sounds to me like youve created chords that didnt exist in the sample - that was dope!!!

Somethin funny ´bout the vibe, which is somewhat melancholysoaked, versus the drums, which are upbeat - conflictin to me...

Good job tho!

I changed the drums up at the last minute. The original drums/beat didn't fit the mood I was goin for. I may use it for another challenge.

Have a sample idea for the next one if you're with it.

You either PM me and ill tell you what I think, or just ghead launch it yourself - I trust you to come up with supm dope!!!

i think every Last one of you feLLas dropped nice tracks on this one. its cooL to see a LittLe more interaction in here. yaLL got some dopeshit

Gotta keep these up... Im gonn do 4 next time ´round just to break ya record!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my entry:
http://soundcloud.com/cb010/hello-lionel

i tried..

Peace!

love the drums on it.

keep it comin.

this beat is pretty dope my dude, real laid back, i like the drums on it.

DOPE bassy kick, I oftentimes miss a bit mo punch in these entries so this was def. refreshin´!!!

Dig the sloppyness between the drums and the chops too - makes it bounce...

Good, simple shit!

Oh yeah, and I hope that BLACK ATOMS be gettin´ some spins!!!

>DOPE bassy kick, I oftentimes miss a bit mo punch in these

i tried my best mayne..
>
>Oh yeah, and I hope that BLACK ATOMS be gettin´ some spins!!!

I wanna thank you for your in dept feedback.. appreciate it fam..
the tape is going well! im not complaining! we're getting our little spins.

keep the summerchops going!

1Love

Put something together this week. Think its coming together alright. Needs a hook.

http://snapsandhooks.com/media/lionel1.mp3

Yup, more entries always welcome!

Did a nice job on this - ´specially the bass... Acoustic?

Drums fits the vibe - the rimtype snare makes it more "live", goes great with the dynamic bass!!!

Good one.

the bass is chopped and rearranged from the sample. only the drums are from elsewhere. cut out of the Scott Walker version of Use Me. I think there's a more complex arrangement to be had from those drums, but I haven't figured it out yet.
