    @Marc Duncan Jack tyler: not a fan of this one, maybe too "joyful" for me, makes me wonder how you'd sound like if it wasn't trap you'd be making. I think I'd prefer. that whole trap thing is getting old for me, it's like dubstep a few years ago. Restart: same here, not a fan and it reminds me...

    @thedreampolice I review your track once more, because I've listened to it much more since that thing is much deeper than I initially heard, loving the small "bridge" around 3 minutes. if I had to pick one thing, maybe, the tremolo in the voice is, a few times, a little bit, just right over the...

    it's fine, I didn't feel "knocked", I appreciate arguments, points of view, of other people. Especially if they're not the same as mine. a new perspective is a way to see things much clearer in life.

    @Hit The Road that sounds like it's straight out of a Tarentino flick, the whiplash dialogue at the end killed it! it sounds very live (and I've been playing live music for over two decades). Very organic, very dynamic. it means alot to me that someone doing music like you do, also appreciates...

    Streaming Industry and Money

    Great read right now, I'm both an entrepreneur and a musician. And through my journey as an entrepreneur, I realized one thing: if your focus is on money, you'll be chasing your tail. Money is a result, not a goal. You don't set money as a goal, an end all be all. You set your goals in other to...

    thanks for all the feedback <3 @Solo Untitled: you already had me on the intro, loving it, pretty perfect, love the lead, the vocal sample, the rhodes-ish pad-ish chords, loving it, thank you for sharing! these days: can't help but love your style man, again, nothing bad to say about this...

    What's with the "selling beats" nowadays?

    I don't actually think less talent is required, I have tried, and failed at making what I call "popular music" I'm not casting any judgement on what you do, we all have our truth and if I want you to respect mine, I must first respect yours. I realize I may have come off judgemental, but this...

    What's with the "selling beats" nowadays?

    I do respect your position, I really do. But this is a position I do not want for myself. As said above, the sole reason why I do music, and always have, is because I have something I want to express. it has nothing to do with money and making a living. But I thought, 20 or so years ago, that I...

    @thedreampolice Very well put together, at first I wasn't a big fan of the beat, but along with the song, it goes nicely. good job, very very good track here. @The Monk great work on the details, I like it. not a fan of the style but it's well put together @Marc Duncan not a big fan of the...

    @Hit The Road Interesting discussion. I'm from France myself, so maybe I know a little about what you talk about, with creativity and expressing oneself, we're on the same (sinking) boat, brother! Let's celebrate with dope music! I don't think it's about instruments vs computers, I used to be...

    I can't help but agree. I have nothing against trap and whatever, it's fine, and some of it is even great. it's just 1. I can't do anything but my own style, I've tried and failed numerous times, now I don't try anymore, I don't see the point of doing someone else's music, as music comes from...

    @Hit The Road thanks. Glad you like the beat. lately, I've been recording my drum parts on my keyboard (as opposed as programmed directly in live), to add that "human" feel. I've struggled to decide how to balance kick and snare, went this way. nothing is set in stone, usually I go back on my...

    @ColeSllaw this beat (layered) reminds me of some old benga, which is good. Some sort of bassline would definitely take this beat to the next level. Maybe not a bassline per se, maybe just the same notes as the lead, even the same sound, but with another oscillator a couple of octaves down...

    What's with the "selling beats" nowadays?

    sounds like a good business idea. Although this seems like a good enough platform, this forum. I remember ten years ago, there was this very dynamic, yet fairly small hip hop forum, a little bit like this one, higher than average skill level, more mature and open minded than average. I know...

    @King Drew Xlll no worries if you didn't like it. even my favorite artists do stuff that I don't like. The criticism is good tho, and much appreciated @Brandon Light How it works here is that in order to recieve feedback, you need to leave feedback at the same time as you post your beat. I'm...

    What's with the "selling beats" nowadays?

    Well, @Spuntastic I don't think people who do that are not artists, but I do believe that they believe it's the best way for them to "get there". Money is a marker, you can quantify money, and if you make money out of something you do, you can then, socialy, "legitimize" it to your peers. like...

    @King Drew Xlll now that's a banger right there! It would be magnificient with a good emcee. But on its own, it can be a tad bit repetitive at times (although I loved that variation at the middle of the beat). Maybe try detailing work here and there, add some breathing into it at some crucial...

    What's with the "selling beats" nowadays?

    I do understand the perspective of "making money for my work". However, in my particular situation, I don't really *need* to make money with my music. I have a small -and growing- retail business, which is not much, but pays the bills, and is relatively satisfying on a more personal level. so...
