Black Space-hmmm interesting,enjoying the 808 rockbox steez,maybe turn the hats down a touch,mix seems a little sloppy but the beat itself is perfect alchemist type steez,could see any one of his fare of rappers on top of this,nice
Coke-ooooh shit@this sample,can always count on your for some illtype samples,drums are GRIMEY yo,a lil jealous how you got those to rock that way,snare seems a little blunt though,maybe put the highs up a little,but I'm still GREATLY impressed by how you got those drums to knock like that
where is carmen-uh oh,those pianos sound dangerous,dope boombap,a bass note somewher ein the middle of that sounds a little too high.dope change ups
I'm geekin off these beats yo,if I was an mc you'd be my bestfriend

black space...haha nice sample choice...this sounds pretty proper. mix could be tweeked some....besides that i'm digging. nice flippage.
coke...this is interesting. digging the drums, especially the pattern, but think the hi hats could come down a little in the mix. (i know i'm a picky bitch). for some reason i hear nas rapping over this in my mind...not that its a typical type nas beat, but i just think he'd sound good over it on some serious story-telling type steez.
where is carmen...not that i ever let it stop me, but i know that piano has been used before. change up is a little choppy, but works. the picky bitch in me says the hi hats arent working, little too generic sounding and could use some variation in volume to give it a more human feel. just my 3 cents.

black space--this is cool man. a good mc would rip this. my only aesthetic critique would be to turn those snares up so they hit a bit more.
coke--yeah i could also picture someone like nas telling how he grew up in QB. the vocal sample is great. mix is nice and punchy. my only complaint is that there is no change up. maybe even dropping the main piano line would be nice. great beat though.
where is carmen--not really feeling the piano sample/pitch changes on this one. the snare is kinda weird sounding as well. the change up needs some bass behind it to work, I think.
black space and coke were dope.

actually reminds me more ofa Mega joint,like 'Therapy' almost,which happened to be like my favorite beat off True Meaning
blackspace - lol white room.. thats cool don't like the snare.. cool beat
coke - too repetitive... maybe rock the drums more if theres no changeup... kinda tired of the pitched vox sound... flip it more maybe
carmen - nice groove, bit too choppy... sampled drums would make it more grimy i think...
peac

re:
white room flip is real dope.
coke is a little too synthy for me.
carmen... i dig the main loop a lot. sounds familar. change feels a little choppy. i don't love the drums. but i don't think they take away from it.

haha, blacksburg stand up! i hate this place. i'm here for the moment too.
ooh weeh, black space is beast. on some just blaze shit right there. easily rippable. get someone on this stat.
coke is real smooth and dirty at the same time. i dig this. nice drumwork man.
i don't know about the others, i dig the choppiness of the samples, atleast on the main loop. not feelin the change up at all though. the breakdown sounds TOO choppy. definitely my least fave out of the bunch.

black space--hah this is nice...mix could use a bit of work but I dig this.
coke--this is dope man, f'real. The melody is great...for some reason I also picture Nas rapping over this. seems a bit repetitive though
carmen--i don't really like the sound of the hihat and the snare in this. the changeup also doesn't flow very well in my opinion. i do like the melody of the piano though...reminds me of spy movies.
good job on these man, i think i like coke the best.

coke - vibin, chillin-get-your-head-straight steez. i dig, with the right mc this could be crazy. prolly my favourite of the 3. does need a little changeup to give it space for a hook or sometihn
cream rmx. this is decent, nice piano riff, sounds a little too nice and clean for wu tang or something, but it's a nice beat regardless. also. acca falls off a bit by the very end.
black space. this isn't bad, very recognizable sample n' all, but coolin. needs to be tightened up a bit i think though, need to seperate your highs and lows to unmuddify the mix a bit. arrangement i'm diggin though.
cool

cream rmx - snare's a little whitesnake, as opposed to crawler, if you dig. but, the main piano line is derivative, of the original but on some Lebron to MJ sort of shit. the slide into the hook and back out again is well smooth, and not at all superfluous. makes good, logical sense, algebraic bass. props, good money.
black space - oh, this is a cocktease of the highest caliber. keep waiting for a swollen sub bassline to drop in and a big, gutterfucked snare to batter my collarbone to shreds on the 2 and the 4. seriously, as a foundation, this is more solid than ruben studdard's fucking ankles. a lot of weight could sit on this base, and sound like an angel with a cigarillo addiction. coolie high chops on the bridge.
coke - whoo. brilliant, homie. now, THAT's a motherfucking loop. shit, i need to start respecting '83 a bit more, this line is lovely. aptly named, the hihats stutterstep along like a razor hitting a mirror. taptap taptap. great shit, immensely rhymeable.
