[QUOTE="WorstGameEver"]I remember when I first started making beats I'd try to emulate my favorite artists heavily, and I'd definitely recommend doing that especially to start out so you get the fundamentals down and than you cant start to develop your own style, thats why I tend to blend sampling and synths together now a days and not just use samples primarily.illmatic87

Good stuff indeed. Keep it up man.GTALoco

I started direct-sampling songs just to practice on my work. After a long time with practicing, I start doing it "DJ Premier" style, as in I flip my samples and clear it so people won't recgonize what sample I use. And thanks for the comments, I'll keep working on new beats :)

I used to follow that rule... I find it often clips my wings abit and losing focus on the vision I have for a beat--I usually flip it if it needs it, I normally alter and manipulate samples mostly and even combining different samples on seperate layers and also add synthesis (usually organic textures which works well most of the time).

 solid beat though... much better than when I started out mang. 

Best way to practice is to just listen to your favourite beatsmiths and listen to the sample they used for a said beat--then throw it into practice. 

Wow, I really liked that alot.Pariahdox

That style is mad played out.HerbertdaPerv

 Cheers! Thanks a lot for the comments! And yeah, I concur that I usually pick a sample from let's say Pete Rock's and try to do something new with it or tweaks a little just to practice. Nowadays I flip it as much as I can to make it unrecgonizable and make my own sounds from original samples. :) Thanks and oh, i've added a new beat. Check it out. Peace & one love

i like them. good jobRyder004

 Great comments! Thanks a lot yo, Kanye West is wack in my opinion. Keep real hip hop alive I say!

Those sound pretty good. Better than majority of the mainstream crap. It has that old school beat to it and I like it.coolkid93

I'll echo what everyone else is saying. Very nice. I wish I knew how to use fruity loops...I've tried a few times but it's just so overwhelming to me.JML897

City Lights sounds quality mate. Really enjoying that track. Would benefit from a little more polishing mixing/mastering wise, maybe add some subtle compression to the bass to give it a fatter and rounder sound, but sounding awesome so far. Keep up the good work :)

City Lights is insane, dude. I flowed to it for a little, and it was fantastic. I'd edit it and put in a little more diversity, but other than that it's sick. Keep up your work - you could be the next 9th Wonder. Jaks_Publicity

Wouldn't bump that in my truck, but keep practicing you'll get better.

Man those beats are really sick. I especially liked the fruitloops beat cuz it has that raw nas feel, like another user said.
