<p>I applaud your effort on the Mya Remix. I like the beat. It's fly and all and matches the theme of the song but something is kind of off in terms of just matching the flow with the beat.</p>
<p>I don't know, I always wanted to play key exactly to her every word and then just add the elements around that.</p>
<p>But it does start to take shape with the second verse. Plus the adlibs on the end: great idea! I like the soft touch on the acoustic keys, sounds dense and crisp. The synth in the background was a bit too much for my taste but since it fit the mood of the song - it was tolerable.</p>
<p><br />I'm not going to top this so maybe I should just STFU LOL</p>
<p>I'll take a listen to the Com joint shortly.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Common joint was chill. That beat sounds just like a beat Common would rock. Soulful. It was kind of a tease holding off on the drums for that long though LOL, I was starting to wonder if there were any drums at all.</p>
<p>Overall, really nice.</p>
<p>Beatfellaz +1.</p>

<p>HAHA... thx for the feedback!&nbsp; I like the Mya joint tho... on some other stuff!&nbsp; Not sayin' wha u said is invalid (entitlement), but iono... I'm just feelin' it.&nbsp; The vox was a bit difficult tho... n I ain't feel like doin' any thea-tricks - lmao!&nbsp; N u kno I can't rock a Common joint without DRUMZ - LMAO!</p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;">Goddamn!</span></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">That Mya joint is hot!</span></em></strong>&nbsp; Keep grindin' on it.&nbsp; Listen to it over and over again and pick out the little things that need to be brought out.&nbsp; ...Damn!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Common</span>:&nbsp; </em></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; First off, I have listen to possibly every damn remix that people have put up on the "netz", and you are the first (besides myself) to have put BREAKS inside of the track.&nbsp; Have most producers lost their minds?!&nbsp; Is the break that hard of a concept? o_O</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; You don't even want to know how many times I yelled at my monitor about that...</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Second.&nbsp; I like your track.&nbsp; It doesn't fit his verse, but I still like the track.&nbsp; It reminds me of some old Transworld Skateboarding, Sight Unseen type of stuff.&nbsp; It's a hot track without Common.&nbsp; I'd bump it.&nbsp; Work on it a little more.&nbsp; Minor adjustments like earlier.&nbsp; Find A BUNCH of underground lyricist to spit on it. (or leave it with Common if you have no other option.)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>*Minor adjustments:&nbsp; Your hi-hat groove.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It seems that you worked on your kick.&nbsp; The snare you have finally tackled, but the hi-hat is stagnant.&nbsp; It needs love too!</p>

Great effort man. The Mya rmx is pretty good, and since i hadn't heard anyone's remix of it before then, i didn't really know what to expect. good shit.

For the Common rmx, the smooth approach was a good concept considering he steered away from it on his last album, so it fits well.

<p>im about to listen to the mya track, i took a shot at the common mix first, casue i submitted for that also so i wanted to compare it to mine. i didnt sample for mine, though, but it still fire. i like yours, only i gotta agree wit my nigga cheese on that statement about yourdrums comin in late, i was expectin a blow up soon as common started the hook, just like in the original song, but it just kept on goin, but the sample was hot, i got to admit. what did u sample by the way??</p>

<p>the mya track was deffinetly a lot better.. sounds real profesisonal.. i can tell u make r n b beats better. from all the shit i heard from u your rnb tracks sound the best to me.</p>
<p>anyways, here's my shit for the common, and to everyone givin feedback, dont go easy or soft, just be honest.. buti think ya'll gonna like this 1.</p>

<p>Issac Hayes - The Mistletoe &amp; Me.</p>

<p>To be honest, I never intended for that track to be Common's remix.&nbsp; I had originally started that track for an artist I work wit.&nbsp; I thought that would be a fly girl joint for him (somn' almost like how Drake has Best I Ever Had).&nbsp; I was foolin' around wit the sample tho n sped it up to see if it would match up wit the vox in Com's acc "There's nothin' u could do."&nbsp; It did, so I said f*ck it - lmao!&nbsp; He was on some real battle rap ish, n it kinda brought me back to the days when dudes just use to play hot beats n MCs would just go in.&nbsp; So, I treated the track like that.</p>
<p>Mya's track on the other hand... I studied that.&nbsp; I'm thinkin' bout shoppin' that to Amerie tho, cause I can kinda hear her on that.&nbsp; No sense in wastin' a hot beat - lol!&nbsp; But, that track is really ruff, so I take the "prefessional" comment wit a big kool-aid grin - lmao!&nbsp; They're both 2tks.&nbsp; Mya's vox n my inst. straight off Reason.&nbsp; I will say this tho, I started out makin' rap joints... n I kno how to make them.&nbsp; The thing is, I do more than just the regular rap trax, n it seems like those types of trax ain't gettin' any more recognition like some of these new ones are.&nbsp; It was almost like there was no effort to it (i.e. A Milli).&nbsp; But, when I go do somn' like that, the track game ends up right back where I was.&nbsp; So, instead of chasin', I go harder wit the R&amp;B cause I kno its gonna stay there regardless.&nbsp; Either way, I gotta make it do wha it do.&nbsp; I like when my partner makes rap joints tho, cause he comes up wit retarded ideas n they all crazy!&nbsp; It just sux that we really went in wit those n don't really have time to go back over them like we should cause of so much poppin' up.</p>
<p>Anywayz... Drape, I like the joint.&nbsp; I think that it could use a lil' polishin'.&nbsp; I also think that there could be somn' else in the intro parts.&nbsp; Other than that tho... I'm feelin' it, especially at his post hook lyrics.</p>

<p>thanks for the feedback, b. and i was feelin u on what u said bout how rap beats are being recognized lately, you keep doin ya thing tho wit the r n b, casue u deffinetly can go places wit that, i like your rap beats as well, though. i checked them out on that flash link u posted a while back.. your shit DOES have that east coast screamin out "NEW YORK, NEW YORK!!!" so keep up the good work , and good looks again for the feedback, all thats left is to wait and see where i can reach in the contest.</p>
