Feel the Need-- hmmm im honestly not a big fan of beats made from sped up samples. this is nice, but not really my style. I think it needs more low end and a heavier bass to help fill the track out. also im not really feelin the kick and i think the snare could hit a little louder. this is good though, i think it just needs more work.

Cruisin Through-- I like this one a lot more. the samples you use are dope. vocal sample is cool...this track is very 1980's, but in a good way. I think the kick could be a little louder, and also i think think the track would benefit if you use a more traditional drum pattern, at least during some parts. maybe a deep, pulsating bassline would sound nice too. good job though, im feeling this.

Feel The Need - peace to the modernity. wish i could keep it this contemporary. that said, it's a little too glossy, like, the his on the hats overpower the hats themselves, y'know? it's all wire brushes and compressed airguns. the main idea is fucking fresh as hell though, sounds like something ant would do for someone he really got along with. nice money.

Cruisin Thru - whoof, this doesn't sound quite done. at the same time, it sounds dangerous as fuck. this is like a hitman's kid walking away from his first nearly lost scrap, after he left the other dude blind on the playground with two index fingers to the pupils. seriously, give me some BIG subs underneath it all, and you got a gotdamn classic piece of material. dangerous work dude, great job.

As A Kite - argh, ordinarily, i lean towards minor keys in my hip-hop, but this just doesn't make melodic sense to me. the main note that drives the piece just feels flat, in my head anyway. that said, when the fucking chorus hits, i can't BELIEVE you had the balls to sample this and pull it to shreds like that. fuck. wow, props on the um, lack of limitations. can't really talk more, bugging on your ear right now. good money.

Jesus Christ.

First of all I ain't feeling the happy beats. I mean the Chipmunk pitch shit is beyond fucking goofy.

It needs to be stated that I consider your tracks to be, sort-of sound collages. Fuck that, this is lazy sampling..

feel the need - good beat. not sure who i could hear over it though.
crusin through - i usually try not to hate on anyone's shit, but i can't listen to that.
as a kite - i like the "sound" of the vocal sample, but the pianos sound fake. like an imatation piano. not a bad beat though. i could hear someone on it. keep it movin.

weird. the pianos are sampled and not filtered really. how come you couldn't listen to cruisin through? i mean, yeah it's a straight jack, but is that the reason or is it because it sucks?
