I'll take a stab at it if you want me to.

MicShazam - The Hunt [EP]

The Hunt: The MIDI is going to make this one hard tbh. I'd love to hear this in the context of a live band or some more focus on how your keyboard/launchpad/computer program/whatever you use sounds so that there's more dynamic and it sounds realistic. Definitely dug the keyboard lead at the end.

Connect the Dots: My same advice from earlier still applies, but it's certainly an improvement on the opener. You do have some cool melodic ideas in the middle of the song and I dig your structure, especially in the beginning of the track.

Tarot Card: The intro is kind of unnecessary imo, but once it takes off it goes to high places for sure. The first two tracks had me worried that this whole album would be formatted off of a base of very straightforward beats but this subverted that so good work. Definitely the highlight of the album so far.

Tigris & Euphrates - Ja this builds on the other track in that it's the best track on the album, but the drums to bring he plasticity back into the picture.

Final thoughts: At first I was pretty skeptical but it turned out quite well and if you formed a band to play this with you it would be pretty incredible, especially if you could expand on them. Great work for sure. 7/10

Absolutely not like what I heard before. The hook is great at points but goes a little heavy on the autotune, it could have used a little subtlety. Try out that glissando/legato a bit. Your verses are ass though. I will say that you have a kind of inflection to your rapping combined with the effects-riddled element of it that reminds me of Shabazz Palaces in a way. You might just be accidentally avant-garde genius my man. I'll give it a 5/10.

I like the twangy instrument but damn bro. ****ing cringe. The dollar store beats could work in some cases but who told you that was a good idea? You don't have to have a hook, you know. Better verses on this one though, flow is smoother and not annoying, certainly the saving grace of the track. I'll give it a 4/10.

I'm rapping over other people's beats it's for that project. First one is Crawl by Gambino and the dollar store beat was Travi$ Scott's Goosebumps.

Well, this is a good song though right.

I don't want to listen to a full 20 minutes of a bad acid trip at a dentist appointment.




And MicShazam's album sounded like a dope ass Snes game.

[Lucem Ferre]

What about this one? The verses are smoother and less choppy/trappy in style. And original beat.

Here

I can't even post it because it censors swearing.

Well you should review the first five minutes and the last five minutes or something because this is a quid pro quo thread and I just listened to two of your damned tracks. That's a small exchange for ten minutes of one of my many masterpiecios.

First 5 minutes sounded like a painful tooth drilling on acid. With high pitched drill screams and the rumbling buzz of it drilling into the teeth and it ended with this weird sound of the dentist shaking his lips back and forth while using his voice.

Last 5 minutes started with angry walrus lecturing people on the intercom. Reminds me of when adults talk on Charley Brown. But on acid. Now it sounds like an artsy whale is trying to sing. I think you put a kid on a keyboard and let him run his fingers up and down it while you recorded it then distorted it. It ended with the sound of the drill back to normal because the acid had worn off. Suddenly too, which typically doesn't happen.
