@2GooD Productions congrats.. def deserving. This was one of the cases where the beat was dope enough on its own compared to the other track that i pretty sure I voted for yours. In the next rounds though, for some reason i feel like one of them i didn't because it was close. Either way, accolades, I'm sure you'll get your props. So, i aint saying anymore. LOL
@Armani Yours was prolly my other favorite. Already got your props too, so yeah.. I need say no more. oh wait.. let me ask, did you use any sample for the pianos and strings? Or is that all composed.... I feel like you were the one on that "orchestrate everything" tip awhile back, so I want to say it's prolly the latter, but hope you say it's the former, because then I'll be jealous, but then I'll also be up your ass trying to learn from you. lol
@Vossi Beats i like the vocals.. for some reason once the main verse came in,, it just didn't quite lock in for me. I think the beat is dope. Yeah, I think the vocal just wasn't jiving in the end for me.. It was still good enough that it was a tough decision.. but you faced what might have been the best beat in the battle. Actually, i think you'd maybe have been better off in that face off without the vocals.. Then it would have been you vs Armani and i think the beat would have been better without teh vocal. Nice job though.
@Mefisto Beats i felt this one relied too much on the vocal. IDK, there's a lot of sounds going on underneath and I'm not sure how much was the vocal adlibs or stuff you added. Maybe there is too much going on the vocal to be able to focus on the beat (FUCK, realization is that maybe that's my problem half the time.....) But, yeah, Doesn't seem like a lot was done on the beat side outside a piano sample?? I could be wrong, Just hard to tell It was good and I actually might have voted for it, soem of the rounds with vocals vs non vocals were close for me.
@InsideOutBeats Really simple type beat, but with the Doom verse it fit so well. I gave the benefit of the doubt taht you were producing for him. In which case, it hit perfectly. It legit could have been a track he'd spit over and you'd never know the diff. Good job. I voted for you all the way until the last one, because, well, beat by 2good was just... too good. I think you might have benefitted in my voting by who you faced, but I still really liked it.
@InnerThug i'll be sure not to talk too much shit since you beat me.. LOL. jk, kinda. I didn't like that vox effect for the melodies. I really didn't like them at all. I also didn't like the vocals. I mean, the beat and vocals went together perfectly. It sounded like a legit song. So, props there, whether that was an acapella or not,,, i'm not sure. Did you record that shit? I guess the piano was nice. The overall composition with the piano and drums is pretty. That vox shit just ruins it for me big time. It does give it some pop vibe, so maybe people connected it to being something they'd hear on the radio or something. I think with just the piano and drums... and i suppose the vocal (even if not MY cup of tea) it would be much more fire. Replace that vox melody sound with some sort of insturmetn or synth ,, something different and I think then it'd be pretty tight. Was still good. I knew it'd be tough to advance, because I feel like it's the type of thing this site would pick. Kinda surprised to lose, but I can see how others might have more preference for those sounds than i do. So, I'll accept the subjective nature and say, well done.
That's all I got time for right now. I'd sure appreciate any of y'all to give me some feedback as well (I thought I'd place after hearing them all). Even if I didn't get a chance right now to comment on yours. I'm always a give as good as you get. So, drop some feedback and you'll get it back equally. Peace.
I like how you showcased your beat first before the vocals.
