5IVE GOD, nice job! Alltho I think the low end of the beat is too big. And Im not feeling that c-part. But that vocal sample is genius, and the drums and everything! I would just look into those low frequencies and that c-part. Good job, dude!

OOoook. Here we go. Lots of beats to give feedback to haha. Im going to type feedback as i listen to each of your beats.
@namesi first off...you gotta Clams Casino little brother right? haha. This is dope man. Drums pop nicely in this one. Love the sample work. Love the bassline. I didnt like the synths you added. It just changed the feel of the beat too much. I think less is more on a beat like this.
@Chad the sample as soon as the beat drops is dope. This drums need more "beef" though. That sample is begging for some dope grimy drums. Im not really a fan of the samples that cut in and out through out. They are kind of abrupt. They can be worked in smoother. The electric guitar is way too loud too. There is potential here. Just needs cleaning up.
@Marc Duncan not bad. i like some of the melodies. Needs EQ tho. Sounds like everything is coming in unbalanced. There is too many sounds taking up similar frequencies. Work on balancing the levels of all your sounds. Like for example your hi hats should not be hitting harder than your snare.
@Slag prod. sample got my attention immediately. Unfortunately the drums did not carry it. The guitar/bass thats playing should be lower and less "plucky" in my opinion. I like the usage of reverb on certain elements. But main thing is the drums need work. Has potential with the sample and the synths you added to it.
@tomkillsjerry like the dark vibe. that low pitched vocal is dope. Kick is hitting nice. Like the snare. Hits nice and snappy. Hats are a bit too loud for my taste. I like the pads you used. Nice work overall. Nice progression throughout. Kept me interested for the full beat.
@Zuance that beat sounds exactly like a beat Blu would rap over. Off beat sounding. Not my cup of tea but it works for that style of rap. Like the reverse sounding part of the sample. You always have unique productions. Keep it up.
@TheUnexpected i like the pianos. nice vibe. Drums sounds pretty good as well. Pretty well mix. I Like the sub as well. Not much criticism for this one. Good work.
@PhDBeats dope from the get go. Dope sample. Drums go perfect with it. This is some 9th wonder type shit. I could here Mos Def rapping on this. Good work. I like the shaker you got in there. Nice timbre.
@Jay Jackson I like the sample you used. The strings are great. The drum is a bit odd in my opinion. It doesn't sound bad but its a bit too much in the background/muffled. I like the vibe of the beat tho.
@5IVE GOD i like the sample clip for the intro. Drop was nice. The women moaning is kinda weird haha. I like its used to much. Hats sounds nice. Pads are nice. I think this beat is trying to go to many different directions tho. There just a bit too much different styles happening at once.
I think I got everyone. Ill drop my beat in a separate comment. Let me know what you guys think.

Nice job with the feedback! It was really helpful.
I love how you used that vocal sample! Actually everything in this beat is dope! That bass is amazing, so smooth! Guys like me can really learn from beats like this! Those rimshots are also nice in the background, when those breaks come in. Cant really come up with anything to improve.

Wow! I'm definitely vibing with this awesome sample! Nice sound selection and everything molded together very nicely. Nice beat man! (feels weird giving feedback when I'm fairly new to this stuff myself)

that melody is too generic. so is the synth. it doesnt really flow with the drums very well. the drum pattern is pretty good. kind of fast. Not sure what genre you are going for? this beat is very repetitive. does not keep my interest. keep working to improve.

@namesi dope beat! I really like the intro too. Overall real mellow track and the vocal is fire, was just expecting some jazzy type instrument to come in
@Chad a little muddy IMO but overall cool track, I like the bassline but I thought the intro could use a lil finesse'n
@Marc Duncan Yoooo I can tell you;ve upgraded your sounds dude good job. And I can def tell youre getting better youve been working lol. keep at it! that brass at 2 mins is nice
@Slag prod. I like the direction and the Idea but I think your drums need some smoothing out in the sequencer
@TheUnexpected dope beat man, quality mixing, really nice choice of instruments. Only thing id say is maybe just a tad of variation to that main melody
@PhDBeats This one is real smooth, crisp drums, and dope sample, always a fan of your work
@5IVE GOD this ones nice reminds me of something post malone would rap on
@tomkillsjerry dude for all I know is a hit! high quality track so much character kept me interested at every turn
@TheRealAGE Bro im a fan, Your shit is dope my guy. Really mellow, tight mixing, drums on point and that sample is fire!!!
I havent been around lately but heres a new one of my track all feedback is appreciated happy holidays illmuzik fam!

That melody isnt working! It is too repetitive to be playing all the time. And that sound is fairly poor choice too. But your drums hit hard, and sound good! Lets keep working, in no time we will rock these showcases!
King drew! Thanks for the feedback, It really helps me out. You have really nice samples here and there! The whole beat just flows! It is maybe just me, but I think this needs some deep bass, to make this beat full. You have that sub kick going on, but it just dont really cut it. Anyway this was really nice beat! Good job!

@TheRealAGE DOPE beat. I like the sample man.. As you know, I am big on sampling as well. I also like the trap style drums - the snare you chose is perfect for this drum kit. The kick is also extremely clear. The baseline is nice and dark too, it adds a nice element to this track. Keep up the good work - I always look forward to hearing your stuff.

@King Drew Xlll Good drum pattern here. I am not a big FX kind of producer, but they do sound nice together on this track. The trap style drum sounds are growing on me, I have to admit too. I could also see a snare role mixed into your patterns here. Have you ever considered that?
