Nothing to Lose was good, I like it

Enemiez Wit Me sounds really awesome now, propz!
If you decide to adjust the mix, some inputs:

> I think Pac's vocals are slightly offbeat. On the shitty OG he's got a natural, relaxed flow and here it sounds like he's snatching for air.
> The beat is to loud. The vocals are drowning.
> Can you make that cymbal less sharp? It hurts a bit in my ears lol
> How did you figure out the speed? I think the sample should be more pitched down, but then again that's a shitty cassette rip.
> On the og around 2:22 you can hear the drums very low. I think they either layered the drum sample twice (sort of like in Just Like Daddy) or they mixed it together with another sample (sounds like the famous Sly Stone drumline)

Thanks!

As for the vocals, drums & hats, ive mixed it as it is to give a simular feel to the gritty Thug Life era sound on tracks like Pain & Hurts The Most, with loud coarse percussion/drums over the vocals, just personal preferences really. The sample is also left pitched slightly higher, but again this is just personal preference.

& as for the vocal bar thanks I see it, hit the snare abit too clean, edged it off in the present file ^

For the Speed i reference the OG but ultimately go by ear/how its sounds. By cymbal do you mean the open hat?

& Do you mean in this break at 2:20, as i cant hear the low snare you mention? - http://www5.zippyshare.com/v/MqNXnuUA/file.html

I do have a version with the sample pitch same as the OG, but that aside im pretty happy with the mix above.

the only possible area he could be talking about pacs vocals are the ad-libs that occur before the first verse...his verses are on pint

lol wut
it was offbeat

[realest2947]

lol wut
it was offbeat

the pac "verse" is on point (not off beat) from my hearing..dont here off beat...but the ad-libs ahead of his verse (before pac starts his actual verse), however, i can see where those could be better placed (on bar).

^ He's refering to a version that was up only breifly after this thread opened, vocals met the beat abit too tight, you probs wouldn't of caught it
