    It's got great melodies. Chill vibe overall, drums seem relaxed. I enjoyed freestyling to this. You also kept things interesting by introducing enough variations over time. Really no complaints here. Great job! (y)

    Right in your face from the beginning. Feels like there are some EDM influences with the steady bouncy bass notes. If it's supposed to be a rap beat, then it's quite fast. If you've got a really experienced rapper, they can probably make something really amazing on this where they continue...

    Really bass-heavy. Nothing fancy on the beat, but I think that's a good thing here. There's lots of space for the rapper to do their thing creativity-wise, and from a frequency perspective the lyrics will also stand out. Good job! (y)

    The EDM influences are definitely there. There's no way to miss them, but those elements actually sound good here. Often when I hear EDM-inspired trap beats, I don't feel like they could be rapped on. With your beat, however, it's possible. I tried and it worked! The only criticism from a...

    Nice! The --batch-file option is also really helpful for downloading a list of songs. EDIT: @Fade broken styles above. --batch-file is what I wanted to say.

    Love the melody. Those "slides" up and down on the keyboard sound great. (Ain't got no better name for that. ^^) The organ at 0:33 is perfect, and I love the chord progression at 1:04. Also really solid drums. No suggestions for improvements from my side. Good job. (y)

    Enjoy! If you know C++, Python will be easy to learn. The other way around is harder. ;)

    Being curious gets one far. Keep it up! As for offline friends, if your goal is finding some, I wish you the best of luck in that endeavor. I've found that if you ask people questions and let them talk about themselves, more often than not, they'll really appreciate it and like you for it.

    I'm writing so much code these days that I barely have time for anything else. :D But I like freestyling because it allows me to create something with imperfections that doesn't trigger any perfectionist instincts. Thanks! For recording I only have my phone right now. I'm quite used to...
