I Treat My Girl With Respect - Thethanx

31st Jul 2010 10:29 - 16 years ago
Description : Posted this in the hopes of finding someone who can help me redo this song with a similar organic style.
Wrote this a while back, and I've certainly matured a bit in my style. The beat was produced by friends and on the spot with some friends their guitar and 40's.
the drums are partially me, partially a loop
The harmonica is me as well.
lyrics are mine, and there's a few parts I might want to change.
Looking back on it with a few more years, I'm not terribly impressed with the mix and think the whole thing could be done better. Any takers?

G'day Matey

Mate this is one fun type of track, really liking it, great beat, guitar work, can see what you mean about description, would be good to be able to give a tidy up a little but always so hard when you dont have the origional, I have a few like that myself, but I gave up trying to redo them from scratch, Mate want to wish you and your family a very merry christmas, have a good one matey...Fav'd...Peace n Respect...Estefano...

Thanks! This one is actually getting a redo featuring DJSchmeeJ on Guitar. Thanks for the review even while I've been inactive these past few weeks. I've been in the land of farmhouses and dial up internet (plus I have no computer any more) so digital music has been sadly absent from my life. Reviews remind me how much I love this place though, and in about a week I'll be back and mixing again! Off to give some of yours a listen!

Dude I dig it! It reminds me of a band from my area.."Cage The Elephant" and they are considered Rock (new school rock along the lines of hip-hop/rock mix....hock? rip-rop...i dunno)! They just BLEW UP the charts with "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked"

I likey alaw! Very cool...any luck with the redo on this?

Thanks for the listen. Dungbeatl says he'd be interested in workin on a redo of this one... but nothing solid in the works yet. I'm still really hoping someone's willing to take it on. I really wanna rewrite the lyrics to "flow a little better.
Great link by the way, good song!

Man my head hurts after hearing this
sounds like someone was pounding it.

The vocal work needs to be polished badly.

the music itself needs to be cleaned up and balanced out.

Work to be done here.

Thanks for the review... but I don't have the original anything, as it was recorded by a friend years ago. As I say in the description I'm looking to do a total overhaul of everything.
*edit I read some more of your reviews, and listened to some of your tracks which makes me feel better about this one...
As you say there's nothing wrong with being honest I think it's your lact of tact that upsets everyone.
Honestly, you p1ss people off cuz you come across as an arrogant pr1ck rather than someone offering helpful advice (which I now realize is what you were trying to do)
Learn some humility, show respect and half you're track reviews won't be people just responding to the fairly rude things you say. No hard feelings felt, or meant by this by the way, peace and love brother, you've given me a positive review before, just trying to help with all the hostility you seem to receive.

This is really cool mate. Wicked riff, funky beat, nothing wrong at all. The vocals have a great tone and i like the lyrics. I love old school type hip hop, all that gangsta bullsh*t does my head in, so i appreciate this message!

I just think those vocals need to be higher in the mix so you can hear them better.

I can do the beat if you want?

Doesn't sound too daunting, if just not sound designing it to be just like the original?

It's very cool man.
I love the style.. southern drawl... Kinda G Love.... Funk yes my man.
Awesome.
I saw them cats at a festival one time, and he was just chillin on a lawn chair on a stage drinking caronas lol... it was awesome, Cold Beverages.

Ht me back if you need the beat.

Hell yea! I'm not gonna lie, I totally gave up on someone redoing this, but I guess it was just waiting for someone worthy of the task. I would be honored to have you redo it. No need for it to sound like the original... Maybe a close BPM would be nice, Other than that have at it! If you need it I'd be more than happy to lay down some harmonica on it (assuming it needs it) Hit me up when you got something going.

Sorry for the long time on the reply. When it comes to hip hop my inspiration is all old school. It's too bad more artists are in the words of JB "Talkin loud, and saying nothing."

Thanks for the review, it's an old track and at this point I'm not terribly happy with the vocals or the mix, but I hope it's more of preview of my style and what else is to come. Thanks again!

Do you still have all the individual elements of the instrumental? Or are you looking for someone to remake it from scratch?
Thethanx
Thethanx replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
I guess I should have been more clear in my description. I'm not looking for someone to recreate this same beat, I'm only looking for something in a similar style. I can imagine trying actually recreate a beat would be very very difficult. I mean I like this beat a lot, but I certainly don't want the exact same thing...

haha I dig this a lt, its a little sloppy, but I think thats why I dig it. its like tripping along, reminds of Red Hot Chili Peppers lol, but with a country type twist.
slick track man.
Thethanx
Thethanx replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks, a "country twist" is kinda what I go for when I look for beats or musicians to back me live, What can I say, I'm a country kid and I wanna stay true to my roots. It's most definitely a little sloppy too... which I personally wanna change which is why I'm looking to redo it.
Thanks again for the review!

i was digging the track it sounds good and those really cool lyrics. to me it sounds a little incomplete, i think it needs another sound element maybe some keys or stand up bass. and maybe go all out maybe some back ground singers to sing a hook.. but cool song has groovy sound to it i like !!
Thethanx
Thethanx replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks for the review! I agree that it's a little incomplete unfortunately I don't have access to the original beat, so I'm looking to rerecord pretty much the whole thing. I LOVE the idea of a groove with stand up bass. I something like Buckshot Lefonque's music evolution (if you don't know the song youtube it, buckshot is ridiculous). I would love to add a hook too, but honestly I'm terrible at writing them. If you know anyone who could produce a beat like this, please put em in contact with me!

Song is Actually Not Bad at all,Plus A good Positive Message,You got A lil Flow going on a few timez there,lol..Just re-record a little more laid back,and keep it flowing,it sounds better when you do, try not to hesitate so much,be more proud when you spit and have fun Cause People who know music can hear it like myself,But I think You tighten that up and you got a Great Track,Maybe even a little Hit if not more,Woman will Love the Hell Out of it,lol...Anyway Thats all I have for u,I hope U can wrk wit it,Stay up and b E.z! 1! ~T.R.I~

Thanks for the review, I agree its a little stuttery and not quite as "flowy as I'd like... It's an old track and as i said in my description I feel like I'm matured a lot with my style and want to rework some parts to def give this a smoother flow... My main problem is I don't have the original beat so I can't go back and just rerecord that part of the track.
