Hi phantomhim, I listened to this a few days back; It seems this is a pretty popular genre here, every other track is Trap, Hip Hop or some variety of the same--was it like that back in 09 too? Really nice drums, cool synth line and the vocals fit really good. Only thing is that the track gets monotonous pretty soon, the vocals carry the track along, however. Nothing particularly special, but a nice driver. You should upload the vocal :) Good job
Looking at your account I find it interesting that you've never liked (favourited) anyone else's track on here (not once) in the 3 years you've been here. I think you're a little competitive (if not: selfish). Maybe that's why you leave passive aggressive comments on other people's tracks?
"Nothing particularly special"
It's a bedroom demo. Will be changing in the future. You're actually right though, the instrumental is too repetitive but you should choose your words more carefully when you're giving feedback.
Before I got to that part my eyebrow raised right at the start with your comments about hiphop and trap being some prevalent here. That also came across as passive aggressive to me, although I could be wrong about that part.
Just keep it positive b. I do it for everyone else when I comment and I also take the time to favorite OTHER people's tracks to support their stuff too.
09 was a little before my time, but niceta meet you. this kicks hard, and if you dont normally sing, yikes! i hear a def marc bolan resemblance that is enchanted.
Holy shit I loved this. Your vocal is on fire, love the lyrics and the beat is mean. And that synth twines itself around your head and doesn't go away. Very awesome work to me. Regards.
Bonito pista amigo Phantomhim, ritmo muy potente con una voz muy acorde al tema. Me gusta como te a quedado. Que tengas un buen da compaero. Salud y paz.
Hey mate - great work. A real song, nice riff and a story which is actually *about* something.
Perhaps ease up on the compressor to give it room to breathe and punchier dynamics (?), although the Rough Draft sound actually suits the song and feels very real.
Lot's of work here - interesting thoughts and rhymes about science and religion (I think there might be a 'third way' personally!) - but you brought it all together really well - musical, intelligent stuff. Upload more!
Hey mate, appreciated the comment. You're right about the compression, I never learn with that stuff. I agree about the 3rd way but sometimes you play devil's advocate lyrically to get various points across as you know. : )
With regards to uploading more:I actually have a lot of stuff on here from 5 years back but I've hidden it all. At one point had about 8 of the top 20 tracks on the whole site but just gave up and went away. No one knows me on here now though. I recognise about 2 people from those days on the forum and that's it. Can always un-hide some if you're interested.
youve got the way better monitoring im sure, bu tthru my setup the low end is a bit thick n muddy...maybe raise the scratching in pitch..not that i know wtf im talking bout, just what i hear...good you are getting back in the music, great piece, as was said, one of the best up here..dbl
This track is dope. It's intense, end of the world type of st! I could use your vocals on some of my tracks...only got 5 for now but I like your style dog. Well done.
Such epic quality sound. I wish it hadn't of cut off before it seemed finished. I don't even know if this can be classified as Hip Hop, because it is so much better then anything that goes by that genre in the mainstream these days. It is a travesty that it isn't the other way around. This is what those radio radio stations should sound like, imo. Please keep up the great work.
Definitely diggin' the finger snapping during the intro. The noise that sounds like a garbage can tipping over adds some personality to the already grungy, yet bangin' beat. Keep up the good work!
