[Silent Hill Promise]

Simple . Perfect . 10

Love this one, no improvement needed.

[Monk - Victims]

Nice

Man, Omega, I'm diggin your verse - good job. That goes to all of you who put in on this one too. Love both of your flows, love the beat, 10/10.

My only comment of criticism is about the first verse - sound wise. In the start it sounds good, but as it goes on, it starts to overpower the beat (around 1:00 or so). It sounds like a vocal track slapped on top of a beat instead of it merging with the beat.

Maybe it's just my speakers or the effect, but the second verse sounds great to me. Good job on this one, hope the hear the rest of the mixtape.

[E-X!!! - Untitled WIP]

Interlude Material

Sounds great. Like something you'd use as an intermission or interlude between songs.

It'd would be cool to experiment with some of the chorus/strings - like chop them up in a pattern and mix it up every few bars.

Some scratching would sound good as well, as nothing in the beat is dominating or overpowering.

No complaints, the beat is great.

[AliasM- Gimme Your Love]

Great

Very smooth, I agree as it is very downloadable. Good job.

[Franswa - 4:40 AM]

Great.

I really like this one. Not much to say other than I gave it all my 5.

[A Crimeless Classic]

Oldschool Hip-Hop eh?

This is pretty ostentatious. I feel like this song (really? song?) is trying to force 'avant-garde' down my throat.

You put this up under 'Old-School' to get a rise out of us ignorant people that 'don't get it' didn't you? Yeah, I know the type.

I bet you're an art student, smoke clove cigarettes, and have a witty response ready that will destroy my credibility in one quick swipe. LOLZ

No, I'm kidding, I just don't like this - It's not hip-hop and that is the basis for my review. Try again under a different category.

MadCow responds:

No no, you're all wrong. It's definitely HipHop. You just have to listen to the rhymes I DON'T bust to really "get" the genius. It's very subtle, I don't expect the average neanderthal to even begin commencing preparations for starting to comprehend such art.

[[MS] - Packet of Crisps]

Perfect

Great beat, I couldn't recommend any improvements. I couldn't tell if you sampled the scratches or that was what you sampled to scratch, either way sounds good. Good Job.

5/5 & 10/10

Macsalad responds:

thanks a bunch dude!
If I had my own turntables and records I'd definetly do a lot of sampling and scratching from vinyl. the scratch sounds I manage to get out of wavetraveller sound pretty shitty to me though, lacks that vinyl warmth/dust/whatever
I just started working on a new track which i'll upload soon enough! thanks for reviewing :)

[WS - It's Only Fair]

I like it.

My only suggestion for improvement are the samples that come in at 2:20 and go until 2:45.

Not that they sound bad, but they kind of deviate from the rhythm. The song is fine with the way they are - it just felt a bit off when I listened to them over a few times. The transition back into the main sample at 2:45 seems a bit abrupt.

It's not bad at all, just some adjustments I'd try out.

war-spawn responds:

Yeah, I tried fixing that before I posted. Wasn't really anything that I could do because the sample I used had a part that completely went off tone from what I already had, so I had dig for another spot on the sample to at least sit in the same tone range.

[Needle dick. BN Diss.]

My vote goes for this one.

I had no idea there was a battle going on up here until after I had listened to Broken Needle's track.

And now after I've head this, I wonder if it's really even fair to compare the two - honestly, do I need to say anything beyond that? We all have ears.

The only thing I can say that I think needs work on this track is, some of the lines feel like they're being squeezed in fast to fit the bar.

4/5 & 8/10

These reviews aren't personal, it IS a battle.

Madwigged responds:

Word, i didnt expect you to make it personal.
Thanks for the review man. I hear yah about the lines bein rushed. Somthing to keep in mind for future tracks. Theres always room to improve, well for some of us. haha. Thanks again.

[MadWigged diss]

Wack

I'm sorry, but this is bad - just bad. No other way to put it. Go ahead and give me your little response, but you should really consider persuing something else musically or anything altogether, rappin ain't your thing.

But hey, look on the brightside, at least you have someone nice enough to lie through her teeth to about your raps and score 10 on all your tracks.

Broken-Needle responds:

she keeps me happier than you will ever b=D
