PHillip PHillip Phillip, i see that midi u got keepin u busy...downloaded the beat and since u highlighted that perhaps commentry should be made on the basis of what pple know u for this is what i have to say....
i got allota of Nelly Furtado Timbalandish sound from this, although not the totally organised chaotic drum patterns that Timbo uses but a melody tht Nelly Furtado could freak very well...
i didnt fully like the beat thou, i think its cos i found it a tad bit too repetative, the sound is clean, clear and the drums presice its jus that i feel the underlying guitar makes it sound monotonous, proberbly if u change that loop u got on it with the coming in of the crecendos or the is it the Organ, dunno..
overall since i dont think its a HipHop beat, u have done very well to step outside the box, cant really say i didnt expect tht from you but yeah, its fresh. its not sampled so again i have to commend you on the liveness o the instruments, but then again i have to say if u gon play an instrument, u gon have to PLAY IT (especially since u have a keyboard)...f***s a bit more with that guitar dun...
after a bunch more o these id say u on yo way to tossin out those samplin packs...to me i hope...hehehe...i joke i joke i kid i kid...
