GunstarGreene's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[HW - Hitchikers Guide]

Great

So good I almost panicked and forgot my towel.

This beat is so simple and great. Never would have thought to hear this sampled; especially to such great effect. Props Haywyre.

[Big Red - I am a Poet]

5&10's all day

Great delivery, very honest.

About every 9 out of 10 songs that I hear with vocals on newgrounds just don't get to me - they may be good; but I'm not listening to them on my own time. And here we have this no-bullshit acapella. I've been waiting to hear more MC's with skill and confidence like this on newgrounds; you nailed it.

[FF | Pharaoh's Brew]

5/10

Dude, I really dig this. Nuff said.

freddyfinger responds:

thanks a lot, looking forward to another beat of yours

[HW - Practice]

I really dig it.

I like this a lot, my only gripe is that it's a bit short. I know you said you didn't know where to go with it (and believe me, I have a million of those too) but you have a lot going on in this song, you could double up some verses or throw a break or bridge in towards the end - just some quick-spur suggestions.

Not that anything is bad how this is - I don't think the sound is cluttered or anything. Just the song is over too soon for my tastes.

haywirehaywire responds:

i feel you on that thanks a lot gunstar.

[FF | Serenity]

I've had this on repeat for too long now.

I like that this just goes, and has elements switching up all along the song.

I especially like the beginning - sounds like something reversed with a delay - that keeps up with the entire track. I don't dislike the snare, but I wouldn't be against swapping it.

If you're trying to get a midi keyboard, I recommend getting a M-Audio Axiom 25. A bit confusing at first, but has everything you need and nothing you don't. I got mine for around $160 and couldn't imagine going back without it.

freddyfinger responds:

yeah i'm probably gonna see if i can find a better snare. that does look like a pretty sweet keyboard, looks like it has everything you need. thanks a lot

[sr Ft Omega Phantom(frstyle)]

Great

Not gonna lie, I've been rockin this for a week or two in the car, I've had people ask me who this is.

I know it's only a freestyle, but it's refreshing to hear a polished MC on newgrounds who has found his own voice. Great job on the beat battlecat, props to Omega, respect you both.

I'm sick of seeing this track get bombed.

battlecat responds:

hehehe thnks for this review i (or we ) preciate it much
and yeah no offence to the other rappers on this site but i regonized also that the skill of many people here (on vocals) isnt that high at all
also promise you there wil be more rappers on my beats soon

normally i only work national but with revs like this i can make a switch to english peepz :)

[HW - Silent Hill (VG)]

Nice

Although I stll like Skullbeatz version better, specifically the drums, This version is still pretty raw. I like the changeup at 58 seconds in and the synth that comes in at 1:58.

Good job dude.

haywirehaywire responds:

thanks man

[EX!!!- W.T.F. (Curtains Close)]

-I normally do pretty laid back shit-

Dude this is epic, I really like the drums.

You've always had great mellow beats, but I'd like to hear some more tracks in this vein from you.

5/5 10/10

EternalXIII responds:

Thanks for the review!

I'll definitely do some more beats like this! Glad you liked it.

[.Split Grim Ft MPZ]

Almost

I like your flow, but the auto-tune has to go - I feel like that shit is everywhere and it's becoming a stereotype of the genre. It didn't sound good when Cher did it, let alone every rapper who has one on their track.

But I do really like your flow a lot, none of your lines feel squeezed or rushed, you killed it, I will definitely check out your other tracks.

Murdaa responds:

i know what u mean with da autotune.. I rather have had my brother on the hook then me.. cause i knew he'd do his thing... i mean.. he really didnt need to use the autotune... but it was a good addition in the end.. thanks for da feedback man, i really appreciate it.

[Monk - Poetry In Neutral]

So chill, so good.

I love it, the song flows and I can dig it (I like the repetitiveness on a track like this). I can just put this on a chill playlist and zone.

5/5 10/10

MC-Q responds:

Thank you mucho. :)
