very cool. the song itself, it's going really well with my heightened state of mind at the moment hehe. i just smoked a fat J and it's soundin lovely. is it just an instrumental or u gettin vocals for it?

real well-produced. everything sounds clean n cool. gotta say the main reason i never listened that much to Jigga was cos of his beats. but Jigga vocals over other shit always sounds more appealing to me.

get em: i can hear Dilla ripping this track apart in my head.
got soul: i didnt expect the tempo of the beat, i thought it was gonna kick into a fast 120bpm and above beat. i think it could work great both ways, as it does with the way u did it. very bootleg Dweleish.
fading: sounds real loose n jammy. i fucks with that.
funk it up: is as the title suggests, funky. shows a bit of versatility on the beats and with ur musical influences. it helps that im a big fan of four-on-the-floor.
keep it close: 3 outta 3 so far. ur drums are dope, choice of sample is cool and u keep it moving n interesting. doesn't get stuck in too much of a rut or a loop. the right vocalist could make this into a dope bouncey track.
achange: laid back. sounds like it belongs on a Cafe Del Mar compilation or any rspectable lounge music comp (thats a compliment cos im a big fan of that shit).

bad pulse: then again i am listening on a laptop and dont have access to headphones. but still, sounds dope to me.
soul clap: funky shit. the bassline doesn't gel very well with the melody tho (i dunno wat instrument it is, that chimey-sounding stuff). i recommend more use of that synth bit ar 1:52.
break: some mad broken-beat hip-hop. dig the emcee.
coincidence: is this a remix? Build A Better Bomb sounds like a familiar title.
suppositive: kinda epic, slightly haunting. not really my style, but cool nonetheless.
sour condiments: this is my fav outta the bunch. could almost be an early ATCQ song.

Build A Better Bomb is Rabbi Darkside's new album. I did a track for it, and he recorded Coincidence over something else on the beat cd I gave him. Didn't make the record though.
Glad you like Sour Condiments. I was trying to channel Jam from Beats Rhymes and Life. That doesn't really qualify as early Tribe, but thank you nonetheless. That's being used for Missin Link's album. http://www.myspace.com/mlinkhiphop
78. "i like your beats..." In response to Reply # 4
its funky...i would like hear you infuse some jazz fusion...haha im on the last beat...sour condiments man....that would be edope to rap to if i was a rapper...or just smoke to it..

hyde park i miss u: ethereal. i keep forgetting the exact meaning of this word, but i always use it for stuff that sounds very airy and has an atmosphere to it. so yeah...this is etheral. lol.
swamp thing: i never seen swamp thing, but whenever i would see the cover it would remind me of The Toxic Avenger...ok, random fact. the track's again full of atmosphere. i respect anyone who can pack their music full of background sounds. especially in hip-hop, cos it makes the whole thing worth listening to.
rightious space: im gussin from the title ur tryn to channel radiohead? again ethereal.
CHI2LA: this sounds more straigh-forward. drums are bangin.
nebular: i always know when a songtitle features constellations, the sun or the moon or just space shit in general, it's gonna be sumthn ill dig. and i dig it.
joint zonder takkies: what language is this? i like it. the beat more than the vocals, but i still likes it.
hold me down: tis good, but not feelin it as much as i want to.
like none befo: ahh i can tell from the very start, perfect marriage of music style and vocalist. dude fits it like a glove. funky sample n low-key drums go real well with his laidb-back flow.
success is doelwit: hmm not really feelin it.
the magic: nice samplin skills. needs an emcee.
de zoektocht: man ill jus say rite now, i can never ever get used to international rhymin. even here in Australia, while i support the Aussie hip-hop scene (cos we got some ill producers here), i don't think i'll ever get used to the accented rhymes. it only sounds smooth to me with the American accent, or a loose English one. that said, the beat is tight. u got an interesting style overall.
19. "push ahead" In response to Reply # 12 Sun Feb-03-08 12:11 AM by Jive Alive
like that sample a lot. I kept waiting for a verse section to come in - it sounds a little like 2 minutes of hook. dope nonetheless. thanks for your comments on mine.
i gotta new beat called felt so good...i removed williams....but with "DaLove"...that is actually "For The Love of You" sample by the Isley bros...thanks... i'll check yours stuff oout

power: sounds like some oldskool shit. can never go wrong with that break either.
tone tann bigger bro stanze: samplin Black Sabbath? not a big fan of hip-hop rock hybrids, cos not a lot of ppl get it right. this is somewhat in the right direction, but im kinda picky about how it should be done so im never easily impressed.
cant you see the moon: cool sample. i like how uve titled it based on what it sounds like the Indian chick is singin. i did that once with a Minnie Ripperton track. i sampled her in reverse and it sounded like she was sayin "how sweet the day", n the original song was called sumthn else. as for the beat, id use different drums or just EQ the ones uve used a bit.
5 grand cakes for sale: mmmm cakes. ok im talkn bout literal cakes cos im high n the munchies are startin to creep up on me (i been reviewin all these beats in this post so the cravin builds up, den guna go smoke another one and go crazy on some leftover roast lamb n mash potatos). track aint too bad, emcee is pretty good.
56. "mad. ye ive just started putting together the tracklist..." In response to Reply # 54
...and ordering it so it flows right. im still leavin submissions open for another few weeks tho.
man, ive heard so much cool straight-up hip-hop stuff in this post alone i wanna compile another lesson mixtape right after this current one. just make it all hip-hop like it usually is.
55. "hmm sounds like ur still young n learning how to beatsmith" In response to Reply # 33
stick with it tho. once u start adding drums to ur entourage of sounds u can get rid of the kick n clap ur usin here, ull start to flesh out ur sound eventually n take things from there. just my sage-like advice
