Papa Was A Rolling Stone - DarrenHirst

Description : I made this beat nineteen seventies style. Its a slow beat at 88bpm.
I made it for you rappers becuase a lot don't have money to spend. If its a hobby you don't need to be spending money on a beat.
Add your vocal to this beat and upload to YouTube or SoundCloud or whatever you guys use these days.
You don't have to be a rapper to use this beat anyone is free to use it.

If you have time take a listen and give DarrenHirst some feedback.

Great funky track, Darren. It has the perfect vibe for a 60s-70s style movie and will definitely blend well with rap

It is definitely groovy, funky, soulish. I liked the bass and of course the guitar parts. It would be nice to listen to versions with vocals added, as you have thought of it, I mean to listen to some good rapping.
My best regards, Anthony.

greetings, although this is a solid beat. For me it sounded a bit to long and to repetitive. Besides that it was ok. Have a good one, Verdi

I like repetitive that's a fault of mine but I'm going to change that. Thanks for the reply.

nice beat bro just a couple different instruments to fill would be good, that stab about 1.50 type but earlier, female vox chop is cool, you got some good stuff bro, rappeers do like simple beats but melodies add character and a rapper then can add more charachter to their voice ,tone changes etc, keep pushing the boundaries, you been i little quiet recently, so its good to see you back with fresh, well done bro

I really do appreciate your input Paul.
I'm normally a loop guy I just create loops I leave the pros to sort out the mixing and mastering.
When I do make a full tune I like people to comment and tell mee what it needs that's how I improve.
But I do leave it basic so people can add to it if they like. Only trouble is I have that much software and samples its hard to pick.
Always I appreciate you commenting Paul so thanks. I will try and ad some more instruments.

It celebrates God's goodness, the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and the freedom and new identity we receive through Him. With every blessing counted and every heart bowed in worship, we offer our sacrifice of praise and give all glory to the Lord.
