[Hit'em ~!COLLAB!~]

Hot track...

And I'll pitch in my hat for this one. Lemme see what Merc, Billy and P-Balla got, this oughta be killa fun.

Great pacing on the beat, love that southern vibe and synth hit. And the smooth sweeps really transition this one well. Keep it pimpin'.

Peace

[Free From Here]

HAHAHAHA

A 10 just for bein' LP at Sears. And another for the beat, but serious, I was an interim LP at K-Mart for awhile in TX. Which means I was still being paid crap wages while they replaced me with someone who made around 30K+ a year.

Love the pads on this one, very laid back like an interlude track. You just needed some kind of arpeggiated instrument or something in spots, very low-key and quiet, but enough to keep your mind flowing from bar to bar. Something like a low velocity harp or bells arp running scales, especially when you kicked that hihat up a notch. But that's not a major issue, really, it's still a great track. Keep it pimpin'.

Peace

Thank you for the review! I'll put a little more flare to it. Thanks for the heads up!

[Yun+WS - Call of the Siren]

I'm backin' up Phade on this one

Ya need this on something to spite the industry and it's departure from true hip-hop with this bubblegum and hip-pop fad we been in since '00 or so. Ya'll two got a crazy way of bringin' old skool and new together to make true knife-edge hip-hop, your own style(s) but harking back to those Pete Rock days, the instrumental hip-hop of the past with the intelligent cats bustin' freestyles about chucks on the telephone wire and poppin' hydrants in the summer, yaknow? But this is what I'd expect from both of you, great drums, great instrumentation, perfect mastering, a superb piece.

Peace

I popped a hydrant once. Then the cops came :(

Now that's a banger

This one's got power, man. The chorus really adds that extra layer. The only real critique I can add is I kept hoping you'd give it some drum pattern changeup somewhere, like a drum breakdown. A drumroll or flam right after the second chorus section in the leadout, some drumsoloing or something, maybe drum and vox only right before the no-drum outro. That woulda been outstanding. As it is, it isn't a bad track, it's well put together, and it sounds great. Keep it pimpin'.

Peace

flashmac responds:

Thanks man. I understand what you man about the drum change up. That's a pretty good idea. I might re-upload later. Thanks for the review.

[Another Sampla]

Don't let Druid mislead you

He can answer your questions as well as alot of people on here. But you don't need much work on this opne except to tone the bass a bit down. It sounds good on the monitors but on the comp speakers with sub on, it flattens out and distorts a little bit. Maybe tone down around I'm guessin' 85-110 khz or so in the EQ. Not much, mind you. Otherwise, finish this and all the other tracks I heard on your acc't. You got a style all your own with a bit of old skool and new skool thrown together.

Peace

[Another Good Start]

Great layout

Love the main theme and drum layout through the main song. Only problem I had was the transition synth sweep is a little too treble hot, it and the main melody synth could use a little bit of treble eq work to make it a little less punchy. The string synth florishes came off GREAT. Keep workin' on it and keep doin' ya thing.

Peace

[Ethnic Upbringing]

I agree with Two-Shekel

Wow, if you're newest track hadn't been on FP I wouldn't have found this track which needs to be finished! Seriously, do a lil chop work on that guitar sample and lay out a two verse with massive breakline. These are some great samples and a good layout already, it needs to be finished.

Keep it pimpin'.

Peace

[The Butcher Is Back!!!!!]

Oh no, Chipmunked

Hahahaha! That was the best surprise in the whole beat, breaking out that vox piece with that high pitching. HAHAHA, serious that made this killer.

Peace

[One For My Fans!!]

Killer drums and hard mainsynth

This is pure fire. Love the tracking on this one, slow paced main theme, superfast drums, great central breakdown, piano is outstanding. Love that saw follow-me on the piano after the break. Keep this up.

Peace

[Gangsta Music Drunk Draft]

I swear I reviewed this already

But since I don't see it, here it is:

Extremely good quality recording and mixing. Good vocals, great overall sound, lyrics are hard too. This is professional level, get up off NG and stack cash. Serious.

Peace
