drums sound nice sonically, if a bit too robotic for the lazy guitar strumming. the arrangment on the guitar is nice. the vocal sample is tight, it sounds really nice.

the horns that come in sound nice and the reverb on em reminds me of tayo's style of horns. cool.

the clap at the end is a nice change up but it sounds really artificial.

overall, i thought you did a great job arranging this beat. keep it up. i'd like to hear a track with some big drums from you.

thanks a lot man. i think you're right about the clap, I'll find another one with a more 'organic' feel. I also thought the drums might be a little too robotic, though I'm having trouble fixing them. Whenever I try to make drum hits a tad off beat, it just ends up sounding awful.

EDIT: I updated the track a bit, and put the newer version on soundclick (so bizzle's suggestions may or may not still apply)

peepin, i like it... the strings sound a little off pitch,but that may just be me. The drums sound nice to me. The samples are great. Put together really nicely. The claps are out of place. The horns don't really do anything for me, they sound dirtier then the rest of the track. But this is put together really really well man. Great work

yeah this is pretty tight,i actually like the guitar sample,the violin that comes in to accompany it really accentuates it too

the drums sound nice but something about the placement of the kicks bothers me...too stiff i guess..tay put me onto a great thing about offsetting ur drums timing and i think these kicks could definatly benefit from that

and maybe turn the volume up a lil on them,other then that this is golden

play on honeydip

This reminds me of Bloodstain by U.N.K.L.E., which is one of my favorite songs. It has that same vibe. Great job.

I agree with what others have said about the clap in there - I'd definitely replace that with something more organic, like you said. Only other thing I can see that I would change are the horns... not the sound, but just knock the volume down a couple of notches so it gels a little better.

Awesome song, man. Definitely on some last song of the album/outro steez.

thanks for the feedback! I'm gonna tweak the beat a bit but I'm real happy with the way it turned out.

nice composition. I dont like the played notes that you overlapped tho...they sound too synthy. Also, I dont think this thumps like it should. Dont get me wrong tho, its worth going further with

I Miss You - Yep this is certified dope. I actually think it might move along too quickly. If it built a little slower it would have a more epic feeling and the payoff with the vocal sample would be more satisfying. The claps don't work all alone but they layer on top of the snare nicely. Drums are nice, I like the RJD2 open hat. The chop on the vocal sample is a little too rough, i can't really tell what is going on there. The horns could use a little more reverb so the last stab doesn't sound so abrupt. Good shit.
