Hello mate.

Really well-done mate.

this one took me back in time bro great work

I've used Pac in many remixes, he always makes u shine. This one sounds great man! Glad I checked it out

Hey BM4real, you can never go wrong with 2Pac.
I know you had your hands full making this track
work so well. 2Pac has a tendency to rush his rhythm
while the Bass and Drums are rock steady. You made it
work.

Great track. Faved..

PEACE...

Fire bro!

I didn't wait for the track without vocals and sang the second vocal and it seemed interesting to me

nice really enjoying the groove and dark yet narrative feel of the track..

You know I had to hit listen after seeing 2pac's name in the title. I have to say I wasn't disappointed. You achieve that 90's west-side hip hop vibe all the way. His vocals fit great with it. I would have liked to hear a little more variation in the instrumental, but that's just personal preference. Great work, mate.

dope BeatMaker, i done similar with Biggie, music and vocals from two different tracks and swapped them over, this is fresh like the whole production and the bounce you got going on, vox are standout but you wouldn't expect anything else from 2pac i suppose he was/is fire. nice job mate

My boy I just did this Drake one if you could check it out I'm kind of Pumped up about it I like it

cool, immediate-sounding, meanly aware and telling it.
really dig the attack on this prod!

I'm such a beginner at this music thing bro I have no idea what you're talking about lol
Nice with the creativeness!
Oh yes that west coast synth acidy sound is my favorite. Damn u got down!
Gangsta af! He making it 4REAL!

This sounds great, very cool vox and backing. Definitely a quality job.

correction (16 beat) not (19 beat)

So, you want the swing value to be the same for every instrument, and you want it to be for the 8th notes. It would be easy to attach a swing value and never hear it, because the tempo is doubled and the swing value is attached to the 16th note instead (relative to the song, not the DAW settings).

If you have no syncopated 16th notes, you won't hear any swing (though it that case, technically it would be a shuffle, which is a swing value applied to the 16th notes.)
Almost all DAWs tend to double the BPM. For instance, FLStudios default is 140 BPM, but most trap is really 70 BPM (when you consider the actual phrasing), folks just don't like thinking about 32nd notes (the hats) because it blows their mind, so doubling the tempo and making less time increments is simpler, even though it leads to expression issues later, for instance when attaching a swing value in the wrong increment, as well as shorter phrases and smaller more repetitive loops.

To experiment, start with only drums and vox, line it up via swing percentage, then apply the lined up value (8th note swing%) to the remaining instruments. I've experimented with multiple swing values per instrument, but it was pretty much a mess. A single value for everything works better. I also tend to perform the parts and leave them unquantized, giving them both a natural swing value and some tasteful "inaccuracy."

It took me a long time to realize what swing even was. I had always though of it as a triplet feel, but it's really the potential space between a triplet feel (33%) and "straight 8" (0%), or the shuffle (19 beat) equivalent. Swing values are what makes boombap and reggae so good, especially when you remove the first beat from the phrase on occasion.

Hope that wasn't too much info, just some food for thought.

Wow, that sounds so great, can I try my own version of the vocals for this track?

90% of the time i feel like that haha
quality man just quality :)

Hi brother ! even if it's not my style super music and a "phrasing" that goes well! What happiness!

Nice little project. Most won't know the difference unless they know the song. You might consider adding a swing value to the beat. I noticed if you match the swing value to the rappers flow it can make a big difference in the feel of the mix (in this case somewhere between 22 and 27% should work).

Not a complaint, just a thought, keep it up.

gritty, sticky groove. lonely but optimistic. wise.

fire bro, great snare and kick the melody in the keys is lovely that bass is sic too, dope bro

Grrrreat! You just can't sit still. A drum sound like that in this intro is really awesome, it nails the track to the ground. You know very well what you are doing and you absolutely know your stuff. Hats off!

I'm liking that unorthodox snare, in the beginning. Nice hint of spice in the chords. Also, nice counterpoint between the bass and piano.

Nice work, keep it up.
