Hey man, it sounds really good! I've been bumping your clip every now and then, glad you shared a longer version now.

I really like the vibe of it. Maybe you could add that funky guitar from Hit Em Up and pause the drums here and there to give it more variation.

[Palmolive Thug]

Digging the overly dramatic strings, not to keen on the key you played the bass in nor the rearrangement and overall the song sounds way too passive for Pacs venomous vocals as it could be taken from one of those "2Pac Elevator Music Remixes" but I do appreciate the effort.

Have you ever considered taking the sparse beat OGs we have and laying extra production elements over the top of them? Take this for example:

Some Spanish guitar overdubs, a sprinkle of ethnic percussion and a mild synth pad building up during the hook and it could become a classic. Loads of songs could benefit from similar finishing if you're up for it.

Thanks appreciate it, and yeah I'm currently looking at adding th3 guitars

[yinyangh22]

Lol yeah the bass is on a diff key and yeah The arrangement nerds to be better and yeah i would love to take a look at those sparse beat OG.. how can I get access to it ?

There's loads floating around, check out the [MENTION=943]MrMind thread with his remasters in as they are often the best sources to work on as he's cleaned them up and set the levels:

I've got a zillion ideas for how to spruce up the sparse OGs with some sprinkles but I ain't got the patience to reinstall my huge soundfont library because then I'll just be in the studio all night looking for the perfect kick *stamps on floor* instead of posting witty comments on here.

I actually played the bassline myself

thank!

Sounds cool but I think the bassline is missing a few notes in the melody. Maybe that was intentional? Still a good start, really digging the spacey synth pad.
