44muzik: I'm not really into this type of beats, but here's what I think. The beat would be more complete (as a whole) with a synth bass. It's something you easily miss when producing, especially with sample flipping, because the bass sample probably was the fundamental of your track.
as for the structure: have you ever heard a track with an intro as long as this? not that you have to copy other peoples song structures, but if you have a (professional) reference track you like, your beat can be more acceptible(?).
Sounds Challenging , I like the music but i never composed anything for this type of genre before. @44MuZiK the beat is dope i like the violins and the drums.
I seen a old movie called the zodiac and found a track called Easy to be hard bu Three Dog night so i flipped it out a bit short track 2 minutes and change.
