Empty and unimpressive. The drums are mixed too far in the back, in my opinion. The tune could've been really interesting, actually, but as a funk song (or "rapefunk") it doesn't do its job. Has nothing to really do with RnB to my ears, as well. Try again and come back with something greater than this. Good luck!

Great story! It actually was cinematic, but on a Cartoon Network movie level. Ha ha. I think this should be created into a flash to get the best out of it, but this is still good. The music itself was fun, sometimes a little repetitive, but there was still so much more variation than your past attempts. Really, this is a major improvement over the last song I reviewed. I really like this a lot! You obviously worked on melodies, and even the drums were great. I can't complain too much about the song this time, except that it still isn't memorable. So, keep working at it, because you're getting better! Excellent job!

Hey, not bad! This piece is actually a lot better than I had anticipated in the beginning. It sounded alright in the start, but got a lot better later on. After the 1:00 mark, it spoke to me the most, with the nice melody and subtlety. Then the drums came in (which were cleverly made.) I really like what you have here. The only thing that you could change is that the song didn't get intense and effective enough as it moved on. Then, in the end of the song, the tone modulation or pitch shifting was grating to the sound you were dishing out overall. This could be so much better, but it's already a great little 'CASIO' 80's piece. Good job, man! Keep up the great work!

Thanks man! I really appreciate your reviews :D

Don't let my mid-low rating scare you, man. It sounds great, it really does... but for a song this long, there wasn't much significant change. The drums were obviously the most important message delivered here, but that's pretty much the only thing I heard. It's just background music, and I wish it weren't. You could make this piece sound very ominous, but for now it just drags on longer than it needs to.
If you want it to be just drums, then I'd stick with a shorter time frame. But, if you're intending on putting in some other melodic instruments, then increase the time of the piece. Know what I mean? =]
You didn't do a bad job, but it's time for some improvement. You may be on the way to becoming the next Frank Klepacki! It's a great beat, really! So, take care, and happy listening! =D

Hahaha!! Thanks for the Response...
I know what cha mean, But I didn't even know It would go on this long....
I didn't wanna get rid of the ending, but, Yeah, the LOOOONG ass song just won't fit well with drums...Repetitive shit......
Anywho, thanks again for the Response

I can see what you mean by DBZ-ish. However, with a DBZ-ish type of song, I don't think you're going to get a good rating. It was composed pretty well, but it's lacking. I'm sure it's just lacking a good melody. It's more ambient than trance to me, but I can be picky.
Sure enough, I'm still listening to it to figure it out. I especially like after the one-minute mark. Good synth stuff. =P Keep it up!
Take care,
Ka'eo C.

I think this is hotter than not. That was actually REALLY nice to listen to. The title of the song made me lol, but it also caught my attention pretty quickly. If that was your plan, then you're pretty smart, but if you are aggravated with yourself, then you shouldn't be. This piece could be so much more. Please, I ask of you, make this into a full song with a melody and all. Everyone else requested it! Pretty please! =P
Anyways, it's pretty sick. I would listen to it more than once, and I already am. Thanks for the great listen! Keep up the good work! =D
Take care,

Not the top-of-the-line, but it was good. It's sort of boring sometimes, or rather becomes hard to listen to because of the monotony of the instruments. You should modulate the sound a little or maybe provide a little more pitch bend for the lead. So, the tune wasn't so bad, especially in the beginning.
I like the beat, but just like everything else, it got old. The kick was probably just a little too loud for this song. Remember, you want to make the main point of this song the loudest, because that's what people will be listening to.
You did a good job overall, but there is lots of room for improvement. Keep going with your stuff, because I really do like it! =]
Take care,
Ka'eo C.
Thanks for the advice! Will try it out :>

Practice? This a beautiful Hip-Hop song! This is real old-skool stuff right here! I really like it a lot. I have nothing against it, except that it just doesn't change enough. My music is the same way when it comes to Hip-Hop, but I guess that's just how it is. I'd be more generous, but I already rated it. Still, I loved it! I could hear Immortal Technique spitting on this track. You did a sick job, my friend! Keep it up! =]

Excellent job arranging it, and meshing DnB with the original tune. There is a problem, though. Not that it is short, but that there is a lack of other DnB instruments. There's lack of bass, other than the kick. It sounds very full in the beginning, but when the chorus is over, the song sounds rather empty. If you're thinking about making a fuller version, I'd love to hear more instruments, glitching, or something that'll spice it up. Like... Paprika! =P
Anyways, you did an awesome job, none the less. I hope this is helpful to you. Good job, friendo! Keep up the tremendously great work! =]

Beautiful job! I really like this! However, my only gripe with it is the sound used from the beginning throughout. I can't explain it, only that I've heard it before using FL Studio. It's one of the preset sounds, I believe. It is heard the first time at 0:07. I think that it should be removed completely, and a new effect put in. That's just my opinion, though. It don't matter much. Thanks for the listen, though! Awesome beat! Just start tying your music together in a theory, and you'll be getting somewhere! Anyhow, take care of yourself, friendo!
