somehow this is close to perfect. it has everything the average hiphop-lover wants to hear, for example, parts of it remind me on wutang clan. all the variations (and there are a lot) really work.

the only thing i don`t really like, but that`s just my personal taste, is the endpart of the first sample, you can hear around 0:12(?) when you let it loop full length, i just don`t like the mood when the melody goes down the scale in the sample`s end, i`d prefer a more dramatic touch, instead of that kind of sweetness (like the thrill it gets around 1:30).

I agree with you, I also don’t like much that sweet ending..
pleased with comparison with wutang, they’re surely my favourites )

this is cool. you’ve got some great elements in there. i am absolutely loving the loops/samples from about 50 secs in to about 1:20. super tight.

the orchestral stuff is interesting but found some of it a hair overwhelming and overpowering the lyrics and my ear. nonetheless, props for undertaking a different approach….

nice work!

Love the many changes, cool Sounds/ Loops.
My only Nic Pick….. Very Slight..Sync Problems here and there, and sometimes the music over powers the vocals a bit. Nothing to go crazy about.
Still a 5 from me.

yeah, this definitely has the killa beez flavor. I agree with others here, the string sample with he portamento or whatever dosen’t seem to fit the rest of the track.

You mixed up the vocals masterfully. And I like the electric piano at the end. I bet if you effected the strings a little, it might give it an edgier sound. But damn … yeah, this is 5 star, dude. Excellent
