put the music where your mouth is... first BEAT THREAD of 2011

Upskiboo. I like it/ Has a mood to it. I'd like a little more funky beat patterns or something to keep me engaged though. Is it done? What's it for?





Stonehands. Not bad, pretty mellow. Are you getting rappers?





behemoth- I like that. it knocks but the guitar seems a little loud. the mix needs a little work to make it glue togather.





John Doe - Sick!





bobtheorange - I love it





blocko and the DL. Did you guys have to post so many? jeez i can't check all that, sorry.





CherChezLaPLAN - wow, awesome. I really dig this





tablesaw. Interesting and distorted. I could see it used for a soundtrack or something. a little too repetitious





damms, good sounds, mix, also a little repetitive for my taste (even though my beat was repetitive lol)








Ultimately it's hard to judge because are these finnished? Will there be a rapper, etc. Often times the best rap songs have the least exiting beats but the rapper brings it to life.





anyway, keep at it.
 
great to see and hear the board alive and kickin with creativity!!!!!!!!!!!


many thanks for the feedback too, really cool, im gonna go through these beats and try to come up with some constructive feedback in return!


whats that song, from here to infinity, that sorta vibe. regarding the drums haha.. absolutely no fancy shit, at least not until the break comes in, just some straight ahead, wet carboard box mid 90s sounding boom bap beat, to hold the bassline and groove together, guess thats the best way i can explain what i tried to do, haha.. so yeah, its supposed to sound like that, maybe i could throw in an extra 8 bars at the drumbreak and rip the beat even more appart, maybe.. anyway, again thanks for the words on this, really means a lot.


nothing planned, although id love a dope song vocal on it..

behemoth- cute vocal sample... besides the slickness of the schooly d cadence, don't know if the world needs a pager reference in 2011... the track itself needs EQing and mixing... at least on mac speakers the samples don't blend together well... i have terrible moniters so the same thing happens to me...





/




it was made for this mid 30s dude who used to be big in the drug game so the reference goes perfectly. no lyrics yet. and it wasn't mixed at all. came straight off the MPC. and you're right on Mac speakers you can't even hear the bass.





i didn't need an opinion on it, but i guess you are welcome to one hehe
 
yo, like i said, heres some hitting dudes back with feedback, had to get off the laptop speakers though.


ok, streetmuzik, dope beat, cool synth chops groove, def has potential, but id say the track screams for a killer bassline to take it to that next level..


theDL, i like your tracks, the first one very soulful, deep, maybe a bit too much on the overlaying instrumentation for my taste, but dope.. the 2nd track, again really mellow, reminds me a bit of some sorta wise guys vibe or something along those lines or timeframe, maybe a little bit too over produced for my taste, but really cool man!


p-gunn, your blog looks amazing, out there beats, synthy space cadet style joints, i quite like a few of these, a couple i wasnt able to really get into, but there were some which were pretty fucking wild, nice!!!!


keep up the good work homies!

is this a joke?


i thought you were a hip hop producer ftw


this sounds like some preset wank on a KORG or a roland groovebox or a fl beat made by swiss cheese's houseboy while he getting ass raped by dizzy bull

arent you sick of being miserable? you'd think eventually you'd just live and let live, but you just keep hating.
