This is my favorite minus the lil plug he threw in the beginning. He followed the script, took what 50
had, added the tracks to that, and kept the flow of the song going. The piano was a lil dry, maybe some
layering to make the piano "fuller". I liked the snare he chose, it fit good with the existing kick drum.
One last thing the loop got repetitive after awhile, try using multiple patterns or incorporate something
similar to a bridge or a breakdown. Lastly the mixdown was good, no added sounds were over bearing the
existing music. Like the use of sound effects too, they were slight, but added to the story that 50 was
telling. Overall this was the winner IMO.
mufasa672:
the drums were nice but the sample fought with the song, it interfered with the lyrics, the sample was
used too much throughout the song. It became annoying around 45 sec into the song. He did add the
instruments to the existing song. Mixdown was so-so, also the drum loop became monotonous midway thru the
song. Overall decent job, overkill on sample tho.
Alaskanredman:
Assuming were not judging sound quality, he slowed down 50's part to get his music to match the bpm or
quantize loop. the intro was good but really didn't fit with the song topic. Having 50's voice altered
killed the song imo, the mixdown was a flop, some instruments are much louder than others, the news
soundclips came in very loud or distorted. Didn't like this due to the fact that he changed the song rather than add to it.
Lord Vicious:
I like the drum pattern, but again he changed the song….seems like he sampled the original song, rather
than finish the beat, like 50 stated in the intro. I really like the beat by itself just not with 50 verse on it. sounds more like 4bar loop, no drops, no bridge, no flare. Simple beat lacked fullness.
Gekko:
No mixdown instruments all over the place, the strings were outta place, sounded better without the string
(chorus). Drum Pattern was cool, Song had energy…don't think energy was needed in this song. Producer needs practice, mixdown lessons, and the end…..was horrible…like someone one on American Idol who bombed out but kept singing.
largebillsonlyplease:
Worst of all the entries….sound like he recorded 50's part on a mic from a laptop speaker, instruments are
too stock sounding, the beat is boring, too many atari sounding instruments. He also changed the song,
more for the worst. Sounds like an old casio keyboard. Not knowing to play a piano, is not a problem, SOUNDING you don't know how to play….IS!!!!!!
Skinne Talls:
first off I like the track, its a little noisy, but has a moob deep feel to it. But you changed the song....you sampled the song & made a whole new beat instead of adding to what you had. The feel was grimy but, It was a no go for me
