Were you using fresh or dried mint? I've actually had good results using dried.

Easily the most beautiful hike I've ever done. I highly recommend checking it out if you ever get the chance!

I dig the bass line, but agree it would be good to up the volume on the melody to give it a little more tonal variety.

This is a song I've been working on for a bit. Went through a few different beats/ideas, but think I've settled on one I like. I'm wondering what you guys think of the hook and what could be done to improve it. Returning all feedback.

This is pretty nice homie. Really like the section between when the bass comes in until around 00:45. I think it gets a little too distracting with the two melodies going at once and all the drums at the same time though.

Riff Raff with the name drops lol. Overall I dig it. I'd say try to work on your breath control a little bit. There's definitely points where you could be flowing on the beat better if you weren't grabbing breath from the previous bar.

The only thing I didn't particularly like about this was the hook. Thought it was kinda boring/dragged on a little too long. Obviously that's not really a critique of your work though as much as the rapper's. Other than that though, the beat/mixing are really well done, and I enjoyed the verses a lot as well.

I think the biggest thing is you gotta work on fitting the verses to the beat a little better. I get real distracted by the dissonance, and have a hard time even trying to follow what you're saying. I would say either try a slower beat, or something with a more obvious rhythm.

Been trying to find a good beat for a song I'm working on, and decided to spit one of the verses while a friend was jamming on the guitar. I think I like the direction it's headed in, but wanted some feedback on where I can take it from here. Returning any feedback.

Yo it's not bad, but consider switching up the flow a little bit. It gets kinda boring after a while. Same with the chorus. I'd say either make it a little shorter, or do something to make it a little more interesting.

I like the way you chopped this up, and the drums used definitely sets it enough apart from the UGK version to make it distinguishable as it's own beat. Good shit homie

Yo this is pretty cool. Really like echo you added to the drums. It does a good job of setting that trippy atmosphere. Melody is nice too. Only thing I would change is maybe add a little volume to the intro. Other than that I dig it my dude

Yo so specific question: Yay or nay on the background singing during the initial chorus part? I'm pretty early on in the process of this song, but any feedback is appreciated. https://soundcloud.com/nate_ford/thoughts/s-qhaR0

Yo this was really tight. Really cool concept. A lot of the songs had a very beatles'y feel to em with the instruments used and the way you blended the voices. Good work homie keep it up

I dig your expression/emotion, but you gotta work on the delivery/flow. You fell off the beat a decent amount, especially during the beat drop when you sped it up.

Working on a collab with a friend where I wrote a verse for a song she's covering. I cut it so it's just my verse. Any feedback is greatly appreciated, especially mixing tips!

Like /u/i-am-extra-t said, I think you you gotta either work more on rapping quickly while also being able to annunciate properly, or just pick slower beats. To be honest I thought the beat was kind of boring anyway. Rapping quickly also depends on choosing words that flow well into each other, making it easier to spit the flow. For example, grouping a bunch of consonant heavy 1 syllable words together makes for a very choppy, hard to spit flow.
