Psalms 37:4
Hello FP'ers!
MoBeatz "Brother"
First, thank you to those who have submitted their music for review. I am honored to assist my piers in their creative trek to international stardom.
My first review is a creative one. Submitted by MoBeatz, I was shocked by how 'unfamiliar', in sound, this beat was. Initially, I could not connect the sound gushing from my speakers to that of something familiar. In my confusion, I was inspired to listen further.
After two clicks of the repeat icon, I stumbled upon a reference point. Something I could compare this beat to, sonically at least.
The awkward, almost incorrect timing of the sample, hugged by the 808 like drum pattern with, what I assumed to be a sampled organ, was an objective modern recreation of something Mobb Deep would have lyrically murdered in their prime.
The dark and almost ominous rift played in the lo-fi sampled organ, carried by the, almost unrecognizable bell instrument, and strung together by a heavily reverbed guitar, reminded me of the In-A-Gada-Na-Vida sample Nas destroyed a few years prior.
At this point I was intrigued by the sound and in love with the sample.
Unfortunately the execution left more to be desired.
The beat, overall, was not bad, but I, myself, could not imagine a rapper of substance utilizing this beat to deliver a memorable song. I could, however, in an oxymoron fashion, picture this beat draped in the background of American Gangster: The Series, or, not to partake in comedic relief, the DVD menu of a spy themed ebony porn.
There isn't much I can say, negative or positively, about this beat. The delivery sparked a sense of average during my listening periods. Other than the mixing and overall creepiness of this beat, this would, in my opinion, be a great addition to some sort of film or television show with a theme that treads in the realm of reality or seriousness.
A solid 2 out of 5.
