Kanye West Summertime Type Beat (are my drums still too weak?)

[pgathriller]

Don't have enough "happy" tracks so I made this sample beat the other day:

MP3 Player SoundClick

Came out sounding like some Kanye West type summer beat. It's meant to be a mixtape track with no hook; just two straight verses. What do you think of it?

Composition: A-
Variety: B+

Overall: 4/5, Nice variety is this. Good sounds used. Good sample usage. Maybe it needs a vocal bit to it? I dunno, that's just mean. You've improved a lot since you first started posting in here. Sounds kinda like something that Jadakiss would spit on if you ask me. Good summertime beat you can use to talk about all those fun times you had during the heaty months while growing up. Good job man, keep the samples (ha) coming!

Re: Kanye West Summertime Type Beat (are my drums still too weak?)

Got to agree with MyKill this is a nice peice man its constructed very nice the vibe is smooth too
I would like to rock an instrumental like this tbh, kinda reminds me of empire state of mind by jay z, only bad thing i can say really is overall i feel like the drums could of been a touch harder, not to say they wernt enough for the beat just personally i like Loud Punchhhyy Drums

Guna say 4.5/5 because it had my head bobbin and dint get boring

Yo im fuckin wit this beat heavy bruh.
The composition is good, and the sample choice is perfect. I love the summertime feel of this.
The drums could be harder, but it works for how it is.
I'll definately rap on some shit like this.
I'd say 4.5/5 ,

I'll check it out after all the good reviews.


I like it, a bit too much of the same shit to me, but it's still cool tho.

Re: Kanye West Summertime Type Beat (are my drums still too weak?)

only thing i dont like about this is the high pitched sample in the beginning of the loop.
nice job tho.

@dpardi - glad you like it man, thanks for checking it out!

@a-bjerg - yeah, gotta work on finding the key of my samples so i can add my own instrumentation and synth work over my samples to break up the monotony; thanks for the feed man!

@WKinhere - Yeah, that high part of the sample is the main thing that was getting to me while making the beat, had to listen to that thing sooo much haha; couldn't get rid of it though haha, thanks for the feed though man
