jivin--This is tight. Everything sounds really "bright" to me. the mix is super clean. i like it, though it's not one of my favorite beats i've heard from you. solid beat though man.

this is nice and funky. the drum patterns are very good! the hats fall off a little on the verse. everyone, even the non-producers listeners will notice it i think.

Jivin - The intro sounds kinda like a beat my constantly high roommate tried to make with a james taylor sample. Only yours is more coherent. The chops are strange though. Those horns are unreal but sound a little distant at first. When the singing comes in the track feels more like a remix than an instrumental - in the sense that it goes on for quite a while. Maybe cut the second section of the vocals and drop them in later on. breakdowns are vintage and the drums are solid. This is, of course, better than anything I will probably ever do.
