Whattup.
It’s been two weeks so it’s once again time for me to bring out the demo reviews. These are demos sent in by readers for me to put under a microscope and judge. That’s how this works. I’m am not currently accepting submissions so please don’t send me any. a few of you have been over the last few weeks and I didn’t even open the emails. When it’s time for more submissions, you will be notified. Until then, I got enough to last me another month or so.
Anyway, the review work like so: I do a brief write up on my thoughts on the song then rate the song in these categories from 1-10

This weeks batch is actually pretty decent. In particular, the rap songs. I’m as shocked as you are. Let’s get into it…

artist:Rodrigo Sena
Song:Pocket Summer

You know those cd’s they sometimes give have in boutique hotel rooms full of electronic music? This sounds like it should be on one of those. It’s well done and put together nicely but it still sounds like music I’d hear while eating sushi. Which is not exactly a diss cause my music sure as hell gets played in sushi restaurants.
This isn’t really my bag but I’m not mad at it. In particular , I thought the drum sounds were better than song slike this typically have, so that’s a plus.

Before even listening to the music…the name. There’s a rapper named “Young Thug”. This name rivals that for least creative moniker ever. But that’s neither here nor there…let’s listen to the music.
Good drums sounds and the synth sound is tight too. But this just sounds like a one note beat that goes into a break that doesn’t exactly match up that great with the initial part then goes into a third part that also doesn’t match up that well. Basically , it’s three separate beats played off as “changes” in the song. I’m not mad at any part but, as a whole, I dunno if it makes sense.

This is one of those demos that is almost dope. The rapper is decent (definitely showing signs of someone who could be very good) but the beat is so lo-fi and cheap sounding it kinda sets everything back. I even like the samples but the mixing and drums just suck. If this was refined, it would be pretty dope.

This is a known loop, right? I know I’ve heard it before. so, with that, I’d like to stress to all people who submit, I don’t want your mixtape joints over other peoples beats. I want all original shit.
As for the song, the beat is already suspect (though the loops are surely dope). The first rapper is cool. Lighthearted shit. The rapper seems comfortable and confident. Kinda reminds me of Ugly Duckling. Which is not what your average white rapper wants to hear but, hey , it is what it is.

The second rapper is kinda like the jokey white Casual. I like his voice.
Overall, this song is , against all odds, pretty enjoyable.

Shout out to this dude for not allowing people to embed his song. Get it together, bro.
This beat is dope. Straight up. It’s solid all around.It’s got a 90′s vibe to it but without sounding like it’s pandering to that era. Cool, subtle layers and changes. Definitely one of the best rap beats I’ve ever gotten.
The rapping is okay. He’s 100% capable and has a nice presence. While he doesn’t exactly set himself apart from most other decent rappers, if all his beats are like this, it won’t matter.

Song: Sleepwalking

This beat is some Enya trap shit. It’s interesting. Definitely would probably sound good if I were on heroin. The drums are a little quiet but, otherwise, no complaints.
The rapper is almost dope. He’s still a little uncomfortable on the mike but has moments of fluidity that show he’s almost there. It’s definitely one of those stream of consciousness type flows…Almost Das Racist-esque.

This half works and half is a complete disaster. But, more than anything, WHY? Why take one of the most famous loops of all time and add live instruments to it? That song exists already and it’s by Isaac Hayes. This just seems like it didn’t need to be made. If you have the musical skill and the instruments, don’t waste your time with shit like this. It’s not moving anybody forward.

This is fine. Nothing special, not terrible. The beat is kinda boring but well made. The rapping is okay. I don’t love the voice and flow but the lyrics are solid. It reads to me as a dude who’s been doing it for a while and found his lane. Not a naturally skilled rapper but hard work has got him to this point.

That feedback-y sound in the beginning sounds like a bird being slowly murdered. Depending on what you’re into, that could make or break this song for you. I’m not much into bird murder sounds so I dunno if this is really my cup of tea. This is slow and abrasive. It does change quite a bit and some of the changes are better than others. I feel as if some of you will like this more than I do cause it is well executed. Which is good. But, personally, I’ll pass.

Which demo do you like the most?

Not gonna lie to you. This week of submissions was preeeeeetty rough. Lots of stinkers up in here. I hope that doesn’t dissuade you from peeping them though. Actually, who knows? For ever person who reads this earnestly with hopes of hearing some cool unknown artist, I’d imagine there’s a few people who simply check it out just to laugh at the musical attempts of others. While you second group are kinda assholes , I understand.
Anyway, in case you’re new to this column, this is where I have readers send me in their music and I review it. so, you know, they asked for it.
If you’re one of those people who , for some reason, wants this to happen to you, I’m afraid the submissions are closed. I’ve got a full queue of songs I still haven’t reviewed so it’ll be a while until I accept new ones. In fact, I’ve been getting submissions from people this past week and I want them to know: I didn’t listen to them. Gotta follow those rules, guys!
So, the reviews are pretty much a brief write up and then I rate the songs on a scale of 1-10 in these categories:

Artist: Mr Boinkin Vs Kritpamystik
Song: Remind the blinded

I will say this. There are a group of people who will LOVE this song. I am not one of them but there is a market for this. Mostly people who are wearing wool hats with political messages on them. The beat is pretty good (though a bit sappy for my taste).
The vocals are also not bad but a little corny. I’d say my biggest issue with the song is that it’s all over the place. Like, what’s going on here? some short vocals, then another instrumental break then that clip of the dude shouting out people? It needs some editing and organization.

song: Are you kidding me

This beat reminds me of some very basic mid 90′s album cut shit. Like half of Big L’s first album had beats similar to this. Now, if you’re into that, then this is great but I always thought those kinda tracks were pretty boring. That said, they execute it well so I’m not mad at it. The rapping just isn’t there yet. Not terrible but lacking any sort of personality that might set it apart from other rappers.

Song: The Magicians

At first I thought this beat was kinda cheap sounding. The drum sounds were fairly amateur but, listening deeper, I seems like that’s what they were going for. There’s some interesting musical things going on but it’s not a pleasurable listen and kinda sloppy (in the sense that it doesn’t really go anywhere). The rapping? It sounds like the MC is actively working to stay on beat. In other words, it’s lacks a natural flow to it. It’s not off beat at all though, it’s just like the dude is not there yet in his comfort level behind the mic.

Song: Un Holy Shit

Well, that was kind of annoying. I get where the artist is trying to go with this. He wants some heavy, epic shit. Problem is every sound he uses isn’t epic. It’s like if you switched out every sound on this song with a better , heavier sound, it would probably achieve what the artist had intended. Also, I fucking hate this kinda music in general so I’m the wrong guy to be reviewing it. The “hail satan” vocal drop did crack me up a little though…

First off, that name…you GOTTA change it. Throwing a parenthetical “g” in the middle of your name is just obnoxious.
So, as for the music, the beat is something I’d hear in my nightmares. Loud, abrasive and just not at all something I’d wanna listen to. The rapping is…well…foreign. This is well worn territory here but I have trouble taking stuff like this very seriously. If it was in a different language, i’d be clueless and give it a pass but hearing english rapped in a thick accent is just strange to me.

Seriously, after all these extra rough demos I’ve heard this week, this one is like a breath a fresh air. From the well crafted , sampled track to the capable rapping. I see the clouds are opening up. So, I feel like I’m reviewing this by comparison.
But, if I may step back from it, the beat is dope as fuck. It definitely is one of those rap songs that’s tipping it’s hat to some 90′s hip hop. No new ground being broke here but it’s nothing if not solid.

In the beginning, this has a nostalgic feel to it. Like it’s christmas morning in boringtown. Sorry, I had to. It’s not that bad. It takes a strange turn halfway that I’m not really sure matches up well with the first part. They seem like two different moods being kinda forced into each other. Also, for a song that, when you break it down, is really not that eventful, it’s WAY too long. This could have been edited down to 2.50 minutes and it wouldn’t have lost anything.

It’s been a rough week of demo’s with similar flaws. Annoying beats (though, this beat is way less annoying than some of the others I’ve listened to this week) and rappers who are not bad but just don’t seem like it’s in the nature to be rapping. The second guy on this hits some flows that are decent but then he also gets sloppy at other parts. I relate to that cause that was kinda how I rapped when I used to rap. My favorite part of the whole song is the musical/singing break between the verses and the hook. More of that.

I could see him getting much better with time if he gets a little focus.

Which demo is your favorite?

Hi everyone. Back again for another round of Demo Reviews. The gift that keeps on giving…and taking.
If you’re new to this part of my blog, this is where readers send in their music for me to review. The point is not for me to shit on their dreams (though that often does happen) but for me to be 100% honest with budding musicians. Like I said, I don’t wanna be an asshole here, just truthful. After all, if you sent me a demo, you’re asking for my opinion. well, you got it!
To those asking about sending demos in, I’m afraid the doors are closed for the time being. I have a lot of submissions left to review so I won’t be taking new ones until this batch is all gone. I’ll definitely alert you when that time comes but , until then, don’t send me anything. If you do, I won’t even open the email.
Anyway, these song are judged as follows: I write a brief review of my thoughts as I listen to the song then grade them on a scale of 1 to 10 in these categories:

Just a heads up, if you get a 5 out of 10, that’s actually decent (comparatively). So don’t be too sad. Okay? great. Let’s do this.

Artist:Adam Selene
Song:History of silence

I honestly have no clue what this dude is saying but judging from the delivery, it’s pretty fucking important. It sounds like he has an accent but, more than that, he’s using that “warlock in a rush” rapping style. I dunno. I’ve reached a point where I can’t really tolerate rapping voices that are too affected. Maybe it’s just me. But stuff like this is hard to sit through.
The beat is as basic as it gets. Classical music sample over non-discript drums. Not offensively bad or anything but very run of the mill. It sounds dated too.

Artist:Groove Cereal
Song: We could drive all night

This is some stoner shit. By that, I mean it was very likely made by a stoner. I can tell cause the main groove that makes up half the track isn’t even really a groove. It’s a weird sound that, if I was high and heard while making beats, I’d be like “That’s crazy”. Then realize the next day it was just kind of a sound effect that doesn’t work as a center piece of a track. When it eventually does switch up, it’s actually pretty cool. Very mellow. I’d just say to either get to that first switch up earlier or make the first half more interesting. Also, the drum break, while chopped, it’s the substitution break. One of the most used breaks in the history of sampled music.

I think we can stop using that break now.

Off the bat, this one is all sorts of pitchy. None of the sounds sound like the should be be playing together. sounds/samples being out of key is probably my biggest peeve ever. That’s a bad look as this is music and things being harmonious tends to be the starting point for most good music (I’m assuming this isn’t a free jazz song). So, yeah…that’s the beginning and end right there.

Definitely a sample I always wanted to fuck with. I kinda wish they had taken it a little farther than just adding a bass line and some tinny drums. The rapping is fine. It’s not particularly interesting but not bad either. Kinda reminds me of a second rate Living legends song. Fun song though just more of a lost opportunity for something beyond that.

That is a bugged out beat. Very interesting. Big points for that cause it’s rare i hear a track that doesn’t really sound like anything I’ve heard. The rapper is confident but a little to spoken word-ish for my taste. He’s decent though and I appreciate him trying something different.

This beat is kind of a mess. Pick a key and stick with it. It’s not out of tune with itself as much as just meandering aimlessly. Also, the drums are pretty bad as well. The dubstep breakdown isn’t helping anything either. Then again, that’s more of a taste thing with me.
The rapping…it’s white. Very white. I’d go into more detail but “white voice” is easily the most covered topic in “demo reviews”.

Anyway, PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME ANY MORE DEMOS. I got enough to last me for a while and I won’t be accepting submissions.
Oh, and to the dude I met in Switzerland who handed me a demo to review, I’m afraid the cd got cracked in my bag. If you got a link, send it over. Sorry about that.

Song: New mind

There’s something very “Group Home” about this. Not in the production but in the rhyming. It’s just very…simplistic.

is this off the dome of something? It’s possible the most rudimentary rapper I’ve ever gotten to review. That’s not a good thing. It’s too bad cause his voice is actually decent. He just sounds like someone who JUST started rapping. The beat is very middle of the road. A good rapper would make it passable but not this dude.

This is the alternate side of “White voice”. He’s got one but not a bad one. It’s not whiney or nasal. It’s the type of voice that , if he learned how to use it right , it could be pretty good. The thing is, the guy can flow decently but , for some reason, it just kinda sounds like a spoken work poetry. Also, the singing…nah bro. Chill with that.
The beat is kinda just there. Seems like an afterthought.

People need to embrace that rapping in affected voices (in this case like they’re in Funkdoobiest) will never have staying power.

These guys can kinda flow. I feel like a lot of the flow has to do with how they’re using their voices. I even think there are some good lyrics in here but the flow is so cartoonish they get lost. So, my advice? Rap in whatever voice you talk in. Even if you got a serious case of White Voice, at least you don’t sound like a mediocre rapper from 97. Don’t hide behind an “accent”.
The beat is lame except for that vocal sample. I like that part.

If you’re gonna make a song based entirely off drums (at least until the 1:30 mark) I would hope the drums sounds would be a little better. These are stock sounds mixed weirdly. The the drops finally happens, it’s pretty underwhelming. This simply isn’t very interesting.

Yo yo! A new edition of Demo Reviews! I’m up in europe writing these reviews so perhaps, this week comes to you with a subtle touch of class that the column normally might be missing.
In case you’re unaware of what this is, I have people who read this blog send me their demos and I give them honest reviews. Keep in kind, no ones arm was twisted, They wanted my feedback.
So, because of that, no butthurtedness allowed. By now people should know that , in general, i’m not easily impressed/have very particular taste so, if I give you a five out of 10, That’s actually not that bad.
I do brief write ups of the tracks and then rate them on a scale of 1-10 in these categories:

And for those curious, I’m not accepting demo submissions at the moment. I have enough to last me well into the summer so please don’t send me any. When i need them, I’ll let you know.

Anyway, let’s check out this weeks batch of tracks, shall we?
Artist:MEDL4
song:Zodiac

This sounds like a good album intro track. Like this would set it off nicely. The sample layering well done. My only issue is that the drums don’t match the intensity of the rest of the beat. It would be way more effective with some booming break or heavy low end behind it.

Song: Damn

This would have been really dope in like 98. The beat is a nice chopped jazzy loop and the rapping is solid for sure but it’s something that’s been done many times. The rapper actually reminds me of a more skilled version of someone who would be in “The arsonists”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsEcac4jsQY
That said, it’s certainly very listenable and it’s got a nice mood to it. It’s nothing if not inoffensive.

Song:Epicenter

Trying to figure out this dudes accent. i don’t think he’s european and he’s definitely speaking english but i barely understand most of the words he’s saying. His voice is actually decent. Just needs to maybe tone the vocal inflection down a little so some clarity can be attained. The beat is fine. Not great but also not bad. Also, I’d change the rap name if I were him cause no one takes european cheese sounding names seriously. It sounds more like a name that a trance dj would have.

The devil’s lettuce is weed, right? Totally brooooooooo. This is is actually pretty cool and interesting. It’s got a zaniness to it that i can definitely appreciate. It’s like a deranged circus. In fact, I kinda like this one. It’s rare i get something that I’d consider “original” but this is certainly that (at least to me)

song:Scenery Minipulation

From the jump, I can tell by the drums that there is a certain level of amateurishness to this. They just sound like stock sounds and my advice to budding producers would be to figure out your drums first. They’re the backbone of everything. i sure as hell wish I had done that cause then i wouldn’t cringe at some of the shitty snares i used in my older music. Aside from the drums, this is pretty run of the mill atmospheric background music. Not terrible but i don’t really understand the purpose of stuff like this sometimes.

Song: Bics for swords

This falls into a category that a lot of the rap I get does. It’s not bad but nothing at all special. Dude is a decent rapper but nothing separates him from 90% of dudes at open mikes or kicking shit in cyphers. I don’t really have an opinion on the beat.It’s one of those tracks that is as good as the rapper on it. So, in a sense, that’s not a bad thing I suppose.

Song: ToynBee

This is one of those “everything but the kitchen sink” kinda tracks. It’s got beats, singing, rhyming, scratching and live violin (it could be a sample too. I’m not sure)! It’s totally fine. The rapper/singer doesn’t really excel at either but he’s capable enough to not sounds like a novice. It’s a song that you can tell had a lot of thought and idea put into it but it’s just trying to cover too many bases.

Song:Skipper Limo Man

At first i thought this was possibly the worst mixed song I’ve ever received but I think that was on purpose, judging from how the song progresses. This is pretty cool. Definitely hear a strong Prefuse 73 influence. It’s a song that evolves nicely but also doesn’t go anywhere at the same time. Well made, interesting work with chopped sounds. Definitely shows some potential.

Song: Fire alarm

This is kind of a mess. okay, maybe not a mess but it sounds like it was made by someone with the attention span a gnat. This can sometimes work but, in this case, it just seems like it’s jumping from part to part with no rhyme or reason behind it. i’d say it was showboating but that would make it sound like I was insinuating that something impressive was happening. And that, i am not doing.

You know, I’m a man who made comedy rap at some point. It’s not easy to pull it off. In fact, it remains to be seen if I did or not. Anyway, this is kinda comedy rap and it’s pretty bad. On all levels. Bad rapping, bad beat. Not particularly funny. Thing is, i know what’s going on here. These are just some dudes having fun so I can’t really knock them for it. Clearly they’re not taking themselves or process seriously at all. That’s kinda the most fun thing about making music. But still, no one who’s not involved in making this kinda thing ever needs to hear it.

Which demo is you favorite?!??!?

First things first, Stop sending me demos. The doors are closed for now and I will not be accepting new submissions any time soon. The outpour of submissions I got over the last two weeks will keep me busy for months. I REPEAT: I’M NO LONGER ACCEPTING DEMO SUBMISSIONS.
Secondly, Hi! Welcome to another edition of “Demo reviews”. That thing where I give you my opinion of the music of total strangers. Music, i might add, that they sent me willingly to review. So, no hard feelings. This weeks batch is interesting. While it’s mostly instrumental stuff (which is a bummer for me cause i way prefer reviewing rap songs) it’s actually a pretty solid selection. A few of these would rank pretty high amongst past submissions. So, that’s good. I’m just kinda hoping I’ll be getting more rap joints to review in the future cause, you know, they’re easier for me to make fun of and that’s kinda my wheelhouse.
Anyway, the reviews are like so: A brief write up telling you what i think than i rate the songs on a scale of 1-10 in these categories:

I’m pretty stingy with the rating so , truth be told, if you get a 5/10, you should be pretty happy with yourself.
Well, enough blabbering…Let’s listen to some fuckin’ demos.

Artist: Something Fiction
Song: The Sky

This song seems confused. From the beat being all over the place to the singer not quite being there yet, it’s just a tad messy. The breakdown in particular had me scratching my head. It just sounds like an uncomfortable wall of sound that’s trying to be something prettier. The singer isn’t terrible in the sense that she can sing in key but she’s got one of those voices , much like J-lo, that ,even when singing in key, it just doesn’t sound right. That could be cause of the production though as the beat barely has a key to sing to in the first place.

Artist: Wax Triptych
Song: Moonlight Vibe

Well, this is pretty good. Great layering. It moves along well and keep evolving as it goes. Definitely hear the RJd2 influence in here for sure. I gotta say , it’s just nice to hear someone in this demo review section make a beat with multiple sample sources (I’m assuming it’s from multiple sources) and actually have everything blend perfectly. My only knock on this is that the main drum break used is extremely played out but, even that get chopped up a bit to nice effect. Well done.

Artist:Tybox Feat. Stanley Ipkuss
Song: DiY

The first thing that jumps out to me is the beat. I love the loop and the layering is cool. The snare is a little loud but, hey, it happens.
The rapping to me is secondary. Both the rapper are perfectly capable but they also fall into the that category of mc’s who don’t really separate themselves from the millions of other rappers out there doing underground type shit. Not bad though…

Artist: AK 75
Song: Soft sounds Hard drugs

At first, this falls somewhere between uninteresting and very subtle. It takes a little too long to build but i suppose that can blamed on the person making it being on drugs. Once it gets going, it’s actually quite decent. Much like the “Wax Triptych” demo, this one also suffers from unimaginative break beat usage. I dunno if the new generation are not aware of what drums have and haven’t been used a billion times. Let’s dig a little more here people. Drums are the backbone.

Oh, hey…yet another good rap beat with no rapper on it. As I’ve said before, if this is your idea of a “song”, you need to listen to more songs. To be clear, this is a perfectly fine rap beat. The drums are hard, the samples are nice. It’s just not even remotely near to a song. It’s literally two parts. I’mma need more than that.

This falls into that “Not really my area of expertise”. It’s cool, i guess? It definitely jumps all over genre wise and and it got some interesting directional choices. It’s not bad at all. Definitely well crafted. There is certainly an audience for this out there. Just not me personally.

Ol’ ghetto chariots of fire ass sounding intro. This one was a slow builder that doesn’t really go anywhere. The drums left a little to be desired and the mixing was a bit harsh. Some filter on that synth would do wonders. Strangely enough, while i found it hard to sit through the whole thing, I could see this in a commercial for something. Not sure what…maybe a really uncomfortable running shoe?

so so so so white. This voice is so white, it’s almost racist. I’m not trying to be a dick, just pointing out…you gotta a white ass voice, bro.
Aside from that, this is pretty amateur. The beat is tinny and the classical music angle just isn’t that interesting. The rapping (outside the painfully white voice) is some deep thoughts type shit that sound straight out of a dream journal. I’d chalk it up to this being someone whose mind might be ahead of his musical talent…he’s also a little pretentious. But, hey, in a week of demo reviews with very few rap songs, I was just glad to hear a voice at all. Even one as lilly white as this one.

I don’t smoke enough weed or frolic in fields nearly enough for this kinda jam to be interesting to me. That said, it’s great background music. I could see two very boring people fucking to it in a grass field as dusk. That said, it’s very mellow and I’m sure it would make for a good listen in very particular situations. I also like how it ends. A music critic would call it “ethereal”.

File this under: Perfectly fine electronic instrumental tracks. This is pretty and very inoffensive. I’m sure if i were on heroin, this would hit the spot. But, i dunno…it just doesn’t go anywhere. It’s got changes and it’s evolving the whole time but it never ends up anywhere. I think this is a common gripe i have with lost of instrumental tracks that I receive. They seem a little aimless. Still, this wasn’t bad.

So, which demo do YOU like the most? Get your vote on, brah.

Fresh out the box, some new demo reviews. This is that thing where I asked my readers to send in demos for me me to review. I warned them that I would be brutally honest but they sent them anyway.
Normally I shut down the submissions but I figured I’d try something new and keep them open. If you have a demo you’d like me to maybe berate and possibly hurt your feelings over, send it to my email: Phatfriendblog@gmail.com but before you do that…
YOU MUST FOLLOW THE RULES THOUGH…They are:
1)The header on the email must say “Demo review”
2)If you’ve already submitted, DO NOT submit again. You had your fun now it’s other people’s turn.
3)Send me ONE SONG. Pick your song that is your favorite or the one that best exemplifies your music and shoot it over here. I’m not going to listen to your whole ep.
4)This time around, I’ll only be accepting songs that can be heard via a link. So, no loose mp3′s or myspace pages. I want soundcloud, bandcamp or you can even upload it to an upload site (like divshare.com, hulkshare ect…) that allows the songs to stream. Basically, the streaming part is crucial. If this is something you cannot do, you probably shouldn’t be sending me music in the first place.
5)Demo MUST contain original production. I don’t want mixtapes of you rapping over other peoples tracks. I want actual songs. I also would ask that you budding producers don’t just send me some random beat you made. I want a finished product. If your shit is called “Untitled beat” I won’t even listen to it.
You fuck up on any of those rules and I’m throwing your submission right into the trash.
This weeks submissions are a little of this and little of that. More than anything, it’s a bunch of artists who picked their names and their song names terribly. I’m not even one to talk but, jesus, get it together. Misspelling words with an S to now have a Z is beyond played out. But that’s just the tip of the IZBERG. Peep it…

Artist:Ronnie Raygun Ft Wurmz!
Song:Thereputic

I have no idea what’s going on here. To start , this sample sounds very familiar. Did Doom use it? It’s on the tip of my tongue but I can’t place it. Regardless, whoever did use it before, used it better. And then we have the rapping…I think this is where I get confused. The way it was mixed i thought it was a sample of the ramblings of a crazy person that would eventually lead into rapping. I was incorrect. The second guy might be a little better (still, far from good) but the way it’s recorded is so muddy it’s hard to even tell.

song:Little funny jew jew

Not gonna lie, based on the title , I thought we were about to behold the newest anti-semetic street anthem. Thankfully, It’s not that. However, this just kinda “is”. By that, I mean, it’s not terrible but it’s not very interesting. The guy can rap to an extent and the beat is almost dope. It more just seems like the work of a novice. It also feels a little dated. Like the type of song that would have been made in the late 90′s. Not the worst thing I’ve gotten though.

Song:To take something beautiful and re-imagine it

That piano loop is one of those things that should be left alone. Once a song has been used in commercials endlessly, it should be off limits to sampling simply based on that it’s too familiar. But , then again, looking at the title, maybe that’s the point.
This one starts off weirdly cause the non-piano instruments don’t 100% sounds in key with the piano. But it picks up around 1:17 and takes a decent turn. Still, this song is WAY too long and the sample layering is somewhat problematic from a pitch standpoint. This could have been three minutes long and it wouldn’t have made a difference.

I like the musical aspects of this song. It’s pretty and very soothing. Kinda just meanders aimlessly but it’s a smooth ride. The subtle nod to trap music drums are not my favorite but I have a feeling that more a preference issue than a mark against the producer. No bad though.

This is another one that sounds like it shoulda have been made a decade ago. This is a purely early 2000′s “jazzy” track that was very popular back then. Thing is, this beat is weirdly atonal and doesn’t work for me. It’s like free jazz over drums. On the bright side, it’s sequenced really interestingly and the rapping is decent. So, that helps the cause a bit.

Haha…Pretty sure I’ve sampled this same thing before. Not a knock cause it has not been released yet. In fact, now that i think about it, I used on a song I did with Mark Spekt on our upcoming project together. So, you know, keep an eye out for that.
As for the song, obviously, I like the loop. The drums are not really doing much though. Especially considering the thuggy vibe of the song, you’d think harder drums would be crucial.
The rapping? It’s that sort of rapping that I recognize is decent but it’s not really shit I fuck with. Angry guy rap has it’s moments but they are few and far between. When angry guy rap is done by white dudes I can’t help imagine that they’re just disgruntled plumbers who hate their lives let loose in a recording booth. Not saying all these dudes are white or anything…more of a side note about the genre. So, this is good for what it is. I’ve actually never been a big Shabaam Sahdeeq fan before but hearing him amidst a bunch of demo’s, he actually stands out and noticeably professional. Still though, he’s pretty whatever.

This is some barebones shit. I like the beat. It’s simple but effective. Has a few little change ups (I can’t stress enough how much this improves your average rap song). Th rapping is solid. Not exactly something I’d listen to on my own but it’s closer than anything I’ve heard thus far. Ironically, this guys voice kinda sounds like Shabaam Sahdeeq.

This could not be further out of wheelhouse if it was banjo music. I’m not a dub-step, electro kinda guy. honestly, I wouldn’t even know what genre to call this. It sounds like nazi’s marching over a tinny hi-hat while a giant has indigestion in the back ground. Normally, I’d chalk this up to just not being my flavor but i think, even within the realms of whatever genre this is, it’s probably not very good. I could be wrong though so, you know, take that with a grain of salt.
On the bright side, I’ve never heard anything like it.

This guys voice is mad like Jay-z if he mumbled a little. It’s uncanny.
As a rapper, he’s sorta just there. When put back to back with the second guy, he kinda gets overshadowed. The second guy is flawed but he’s got a really good presence. He reminds me of late 90′s underground dudes from NYC I used to listen to.
The beat…I dunno. When I hear a track like this I wonder how it got made. Not cause it’s so bad but cause…well..what is it really? Spare, noisy, stuttering drums. It does capture a mood though so I guess that’s something. When I hear a track like this I assume whoever made it smokes mad weed and was in a dark place.

This is like the opposite of the track by Vincture above. While it is out of my wheelhouse, I can recognize it’s pretty cool. It’s got an original sounding too. At first, i thought it was gonna be some super cheap ass sounding shit shit cause the synth sound seemed kinda flimsy but it built nicely. So, yeah, this is pretty good for a genre of music I would probably not listen to in general.

You’ve heard my opinions..now, tell me!
Which demo did you like the most?

I swear, I wasn’t in a bad mood when I sat down to write this. But this weeks crop? Holy shit. Bummer Central.
In case you don’t know what this is, this is where I have readers send me their demos and I give them honest feedback on what I think about them. I pull no punches and rarely like anything more than “it’s not bad” but you budding musicians seem to like the real talk so I keep doing it.
To all the people reading this thinking “Where can I send you a demo!?!”, not quite yet. I’m not accepting new submissions at the moment. However, I will be very soon. Keep a close eye on my social networks (twitter, facebook and this very blog) as I will be asking for more demos sometime early next week. until then, hold your horses.
Anyway, I review these all the same way. A brief write up where I tell you what I think then a rating of 1-10 in these categories:

Artist:Casey Okane
Song:Get Lifted

This is a very typical demo for me to receive. It’s an adequate white rapper spilling his guts over a somewhat chaotic yet melodic track. It’s not bad. It’s also not good. It just kinda is. I don’t knock this dudes hustle though cause he can rap well enough. The problem is there are literally thousands of rappers just like this.
Production wise, it’s almost dope and the producer does change shit up a decent amount which I appreciate. It’s just kinda sloppy sounding at times but I would say that’s more due to the mix and the main sample having somewhat busy percussion in it.

For all people who plan on sending me songs in the future: Don’t send me shit like this. I want to hear songs. Not the track you made last night while blunted out of your mind.

When this started out I thought it was a remix of that paul McCartney Christmas song

But I’m pretty sure that wasn’t the producers intention.
This feels like some drug music. A drug I don’t do but a drug nonetheless. I don’t doubt there is an audience for this kinda instrumental track. It’s very mellow and sorta grinds it’s way through. All I’m imagining is the “chill room” at some rave in eastern europe.

Is this guy rapping or reading me a lullaby? I like some mellow rapping styles (See Open Mike eagle) but this is a bit tiring. I wouldn’t say he’s bad at rapping but there’s just nothing compelling me to want to hear more. That said, because it’s an unusual style this could appeal to some folks out there.
On the bright side, I like the production. It’s very simple but the changes are both in good taste and subtle.

I have a sneaking suspicion that this isn’t an original beat. Either I’ve heard it before or that loops been used before. So, off the bat, do better.
And the rapping…well…listen. I used to freestyle all the time with my friends and be silly. We recorded it and would play them over and over again. What we wouldn’t do would be send those freestyles as a demo. Little know fact: 99% of the people out there don’t wanna hear you and you boys freestyling. It’s only interesting to you and your boys.

It’s not blowing my wig back but the mere fact it’s well put together, has a structure, has dope drums and it mixed tightly makes it sound like the work of an expert when compared to the majority of this weeks submissions.
Good job.
