Description : Hey guys, Ive been gone for a long time. Ive been busy with school, cheering, and other stuff. Ive finally been able to semi-master the basics of a hip hop beat. I don't know how people will respond to this, but I try my best to appeal to all listeners. This may be a bit basic, but this is way out of my comfort zone. need some tips on how to improve in the hip hop type of songs, but I'm pleased with the end result :-p

I know I'm behind when it comes to reviewing this track. 1st I can't say it's not intriguing because it's very intriguing. Hip hop is freedom of expression so be creative. But if you want it to feel more like a hip hop track (rule: boom tap)follow that rule but "vary" as much as possible. What I mean is use as many different sounds (drum) as you would like that kind of sound like boom tap. Sorry but hip hop has that simple format no matter what anyone say. For the best example listen to dr dre music and listen to the drums it's your basic boom tap. But to understand the different possibilities of the boom tap listen to Timbaland. He is always very creative. Oh listen to other genres of music like latin, african, and indian etc. It all has it's own rhythm but you can apply the basic boom tap to it. Check out my drum loops to get a general idea.

Interesting melody driving the track, I really like the mix of beats & patterns. Don't let people's jaded opinions stifle you creativity.However, the track could use some change ups (cadence, bridges, blah, blah).Overall a sweet track, nice job, keep it up. Josh

Hi 3lem3ntzork
Im not the best to review a hip hop track cause i basically had never really listened to any of it until I joined this site.
I would like to try one myself but like you it would be way out my comfort zone. But you have tried and thats what it is all about you have got to experiment and try new things so hats off to you 3LEM3NTZORK and well done.
Regards

I like where you're going with this. On the subject of it maybe being overly cluttered, I think it's just the business of the drums. Let the track breathe a little here and there, maybe pan some of the stuff and you'll find it more open without losing the elements you had in mind.

In the end though, hip-hop has always been an amalgamation of different genres and sounds so don't worry about appealing to others or making what someone else feels is "real hip-hop". I've heard your other tracks and I'm a big fan. Just keep experimenting and you'll come upon your own version of what hip-hop is and it'll be as real as anyone else's.

Thanks for sharing this. Peace.

cluttered, everythings so loud, tone it down a little bit. like the clap with the roto effect deff has potential, work on the mixing and you can go places.
Much Respect

ToxicVoltage replied Unknown
Yeah
During certain parts it did seem a bit loud, but to me it didn't seem cluttered.

I think that it may have seemed cluttered due to my terribad mixing skills

I need to work on that alot

lol
Thanks for the review

TRY WORKING ON MIXING THE LEVELS BETTER TO AVOID THE FEELING THAT YOUR OVER PRODUCING. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
ToxicVoltage
ToxicVoltage replied Unknown
Alrighty then
I agree, the levels are a bit askew
I will work on that

thanks for the positive criticism
:-p

Really interesting, at around 0:45 sounds too cluttered really. That claps are pretty cool. Maybe at one part you could get rid of those keys and get a wobble lead.

Great job!

Hi 3LEM3NTZ0RK...

I think it is a nice idea behind this track. So it has a good timing and there is still HipHop feeling in it. But I am not the right one to talk about HipHop. There are other guys here who knows this genre much better. For me I missing something. Maybe i am missing something like synth layers and of cause if there will be some lyrics it would be much better. But anyway it is another great work. Greetings from Berlin.

ToxicVoltage replied Unknown
Firstly I thank you for the review

And yeah, i agree, the idea behind the track is good. And yeah i was thinking the same thing when i uploaded the track
I attempted to put a synth somewhere in this track, but i couldnt think of anything worth puting on there lol. But i appreciate the sound advice and i will take them in consideration

Description : Something i did when i was about 15, and when i still made beats. This particular track is actually the reason i decided to get into composing at all. I had a good run with the beats and hip-hop scene, but i always had a leaning more towards composing and this, i think, is the catalyst for that revelation. This beat is 9 years old, and gives you a sense of what it was like to be a young, passionate, musically driven teen. Thank you.
