Aight, here I go...
first off the sound quality was nice and the track lengths were perfect. Sample choices were cool on some and great on others but for a track by track....here's my ear...
1.Steeze: Powerfull opening and good sounds but very lack luster besides the sampled voice that came in. The change was very FL chopish... Definently shouldn't be your opening joint. 5
2.MOB: Mixed very good, drums and all were nice. felt complete even though it didn't have alot in it...that's hard to do and you did it there nicely. 7
3.Blow'n Dro: OMG...what a great sample choice. you road that out like it told you too... 10+
4.You Already Know: The sample joice was very good on this one. That added hiss is annoying but probably will work nice if you turn it down and let the natural record noise shine more. It's a sample, it should sound sampled. This one also felt complete and would be great for a story joint. 7
5.Murder On My Mind: Great track to talk over as a album opener or interlude rant. Sounded like a track on the credits to a DVD/Independant film as well. Strong and smart sounding.8
6.Black Ivory: I couldn't get off it at first... got 3 replays cause I'm in a mellow mood and it fit my mind stae nicely. The change came in weird but the sample of the song/vocal section fixed all that. that would be one of the joints to get you the repsect your looking for as a producer. 9+
7.Fo Real: I happen to love the song you sampled for this one so I was very sceptical at first. It also has that FL chopish thing go'n on but again...the quality of the production you put on it overwhelms that small but noticable flaw. 8
8.Class President: This joint is rapper ready... Package it up and ship it out yesterday man... straight 10 with grown man swagger intact. 10+
9.Since You Been Gone: Again great sample choice and the drums hit on this one. The crackle here sounds like what number 4 should have.
I can hear multiple cats on this. You don't use alot of bass on the others but this one desrved that thump. Real smart track 9.
10.Crazy: Back to that FLish chop stuff. Not worth the company of the others on this CD. I give it a 3 cause your obviously so much better. Godd sample choice though.
11. So Tired: I'm a major Portishead freak so I enjoyed this quite abit. Great dramatic fills and cool as sound choices. This is where creativity and skills start to make-out and turns into a full blown orgy. Another 10 man. Your impressing me dude and thats kinda hard to do.(Even though I'm just another FP cat)
(Bonus Track): I was shocked to hear you come in on the mic. The flow was nice. Again the sample joice was perfect. Double threat... Crazy. FP take notice. Do a demo man, Your ready.
I hope you apprecitae my ear cause I enjoyed taking a chance and rock'n your CD. I was pleasently surprised all the way thru.
Peace and good luck even though you might not need it once the right artist knows you exsist.
All an All your first beat CD gets a 8+
