You can find legit goldmines in Fayetteville, those country pawn shops and thrift store records just sit for years. Charles would love it, his social security check would go twice as far...

Tao- that last meme really takes me back to those retro photos and the dahmer glasses to boot. Lol

Thumbs up ^5

We all know 55 is the new 25... I mean if tyson can get back in the ring, theres no reason charles cant make a banger...

serious though, just about done with my weekly paperwork, then I can finally dig into this for the next two days. It's been fun the time i have been working on it, some challenges and definitely learning some crucial things. last weekend, the issues seemed to be my choice to change the tempo away from the original to be giving me hiccups. I really need to break out of my comfort zone of 150-160 bpm, (75-80 double timed), I tried 180 which seemed closer to original tempo double timed but had a hard time. I couldn't get the breaks I wanted to use to flesh out right neither.

just making a status report of sorts of where i am at. happy with the main body of my track but some elements really need to fine tuned.
cheers to everyone participating

maybe I should have looked it up lol, now I see where i messed up. not sure where I got 87-90 from, I think I got mixed up with the breaks I was trying to use.... either way i had to scrap them. 124 would be a big change up for me too. wish I tried that from the jump.



was trying use this break, I wanted a old school hip hop feel, but couldn't make it work...
