Old Kanye Style Beat - LSP

I'm a minimalist when I make beats but sometimes being too bare bones isn't a good thing. If you're gonna do that style, you might want to think about including more than the same bar over and over on the verse. I don't know what song you sampled, but I bet that part/melody happens without the female vocals at least once.
I can't even hear the actual melody though. The high vocals are too loud.

With the soul sample thing, it's cool if you can spot one that has that immediate hook that you know is going to work but you don't want that to be all the thought you have in the track.

There's an artist I like who in 08 did that style twice on his one of his cds

Now both of those tracks, you have the sped up chipmunk high pitched vocal but you all have the bass line, you also on the first one in particular have variations every now and again to keep it from becoming monotonous.

I think you have the right sample, you just need to put a little more time into it. Add some things.
