@Krass1: On Dope Piano Loop @92, I liked how you sampled the piano on your second beat, it sounds like you cut off part of the melodic phrase, which raises the suspense of the track. The chopping of the vocals was also very effective. Like others have said before. Dope.
On Rev Keys panda, that was an interesting choice to sample a song that’s hot right now or at least recently hot. I liked the timbre of the kick the most on the beat
@JCFAX81: I like the eclectic choice of samples but I think it would be even better if all of the samples were tuned to the same key or closely related keys. If you’re going for a more hip hop sound then I would also suggest a drum pattern that fits a more characteristic 4/4 pattern. If not then the drums are fine. All in all, good ideas, I just thought some things could be improved. Keep it up though
@d.fusion: This is really dope. I especially like the guitar sample and the vocal cuts. The section at the end around 1:45 sounds like an Afrika Bambaata reference. Am I right or am I imagining that?
@Klypse: I thought that song was a great choice for the lyrics, especially how you sliced the vocals. Nice bass too
Here is my beat:

@Chad and @Krass1 many thanks for the feedback, its much appreciated. Love your piano and synths chad. You both mention my sample being out of tune, how would i find the key of a sample snippet like i used (the piano line)? For the bass and other sounds i did ensure that they were in the same key and scale
i appreciate the feedback!
@Klypse very nice beat n sample flip. drums are on point. the nix sounds a little too clean for me but that might be just me. the problem though is the acapella is way off. ruins the beat's flow.
@Chad i guess you are imagining things
your low ends seem a bit muddy. not necessarily my type of beats but it a has a nice grimey vibe especially the west coast gfunk strings
and @JCFAX81 sry but youre beat is way too confusing to give proper feedback nice sample but the rest just seems randomly thrown on top.
