great sample spesh
love that, sincerely beautiful stuff
man
if only your mixes were able to be better with your given equipment, you'd be owning shit on here. your drums are getting better. what i'd suggest with them is some varied velocity hits, they all seem to be at the same level.
like...you often have double kicks lined up there together. i do that too - it's something i totally learned from jel. what i've done with it is figure out which kick is on the downbeat. if it's the 1st, lower the velocity of the 2nd while simultaneously raising the attack a litttle bit. this emphasizes the 1st. if it's the 2nd, do the same. i personally love the sound of the latter. buBOOM, you know?
good shit. love how the sax sample gives a cloudy mood to this beat
when i get back into rapping (soooo soon) i'm gonna ask you for a couple
now for wes. i've heard nothing but good things.
hooooooly shit
wow. this is great. suuch a strong groove. love that piano roll, that's some old wutang shit. GREAT samples, GREAT orchestration, good drums for this thing too. excellent shakers. nothing but props on this one buddy. the snare snaps, and the progression is excellent. i can picture a lot of great emcees on this. i think spesh spent longer on the drums than you did, but your choice in samples/progression was better and this thing has such attitude it cannot be denied.
gotta vote wax. props to both involved, good material from both.
