Aight here we go....
I think mine turned out pretty decent. wasnt sure what to expect, sick sample graf!! I had to add some of my own strings to it for a chorus, but everything else is just the sample.

aiight heres the reviews..

ooooh shit!! SHIT!! lol man this is off the hook. I think if this was mastered or mixed a bit better this would be perfect. I'm thinkin along the bassline, it gets real loud at that main chorus part. But still, the arrangment on this is sick as hell an that bassline commands respect. Nice work bro

sup man. This is definitely raw as hell. the horns are sick, i like it when they have that lil change up after the vocal part. I think the drums could have been a bit phatter, just to completely fill out the rest of the rawness. Otherthan that though, cool flip man. Like how you fit the beat to the vocals like a glove.

This was a tight flip man. I think this flowed nicely overall. The panning is good with this, gives the guitar and vocal nice placement to do their things. I think this has lots of potential if you chose to sit down and really get into it. Nice flip though man, keep doing it.

!!! daaamn man. This is the best i've heard from you. I love what the strings are doing. Drums are sick too. Might be able to hit a bit harder but they are actually pretty sick. The hihats are doing their thing. I think some faint grimey quarter note hi-hats would add a really nice feel to it along with the ones you have in there. Just me though. This is tight though man. Transitions are cool too, nice all around. props man.

almost missed yours. This is cool, i think the different pitched voices is cool and work for this. The arrangement is nice too, when its all together there with the bass going. Only thing is it's pretty low in the background an cant really hear it!! Ah it picks up a lil in the end. This is tight though man, like what you did with it, i'm feelin it.

sup man, welcome to the sample flippage spot lol. chops were cool, seemed almost a lil rough cuz of the hihat rolls in the background of the sample. It works though. I almost got the impression it was countryish!! lol its all good though, i dig what you did with it. I think the drums could be a lil more defined, the kick drum was buried alive it seems. Some change ups or transitions would be nice in this, maybe experiment an try somethin outside of the box an see what comes up. Cool shit though man, hope to see you in the future sample flips.

Sup man. I like how this broke out. The drums were cool, they sound live even, props on programming that. the chops are clean. My fav. part is those sample pauses/slight drop outs after 50 seconds. Gives more of that hip hop feel to it. Nice job man, keep it up.

graf what up. daaaaaaa aaaa aaamn. I like the intro and transition into the main beat. It's powerful, it sets up for something huge. I'm imaginin some hype MC just busting down the door from the get go. almost on some wutang vibes. Only thing i noticed was the "if i" gets cut off an sounds a lil abrupt. still sick though, feelin what you did with it man.
If i skipped anyone just let me know. i'll post more reviews as they come.
i love the whole idea of flippin a random sample. gets the creative juices flowing. and u guys do some incredible work. glad to be in the company of such talented beatsmiths.
