| thanks for the love GSG | |
| A Better Yesterday by OctoTrice | 5 years ago |
 ha ha, good critiques only huh...you know i'm gonna tell it how it is. generally it is full of lovely bits, but overall it feels a bit too disjointed. yeah the end is nice, i love the drum roll just before the end too. i think you could really simplify any section of this and make a great beat for an emcee with it. o.k., you kept this as an instrumental, so you had to find ways to make it more interesting...in that way, i think you could have made it a little tighter. hope that's a 'good' (honest) critique. peace. ash |

| TRYING TO FIND powermac by wal4u | 6 years ago |
 first of all: WOW, you have created a piece of Icomp history here. this track will be talked about for years on this site. 230 listens in less than 24 hours. as for finding POWERMAC99, I heard he was just the prototype, POWERMAC100 is being released next week! be afraid, be very afraid! (btw. it's a HUMMER not a beemer) ashwan no profanity here! move along. |

| Erieseries-One by GSG | 6 years ago |
good crystal clear sound. lots of space in it. it lacks that extra element, like a vocal or some nice cuts. you need to hook up with an emcee or find accapellas some place (try ccmixter.org). apart from that...sounds good. peace, ash |
|
| Official Sounds by ashwan | 6 years ago |
| yeah, i agree curious sounds better when he is on a more kicked backed vibe, and i think this track worked really well for him. thanks for the great feedback. GSG, sorry i have not heard any of your stuff yet...i will go check it out now. peace, ash |

| Let's Take It Back by ashwan | 6 years ago |
| for sure Octo, let's take it back but while stepping forward and pushing what we are capable of. the danger i see in a lot of new hip hop is that it lacks the FUNK and SOUL of early stuff. without those elements, we got no hip hop. Thanks for the feedback guys, coming from some of the sites finest it means even more. ash |

| Old Skool Artists by ashwan | 6 years ago |
| funny sh1t how many people here have studied art at some point. i wonder if john lennon would be uploading beats here if he were around these days (he studied art in Liverpool, for those who didn't get that reference). anyways, thanks for the good feedback. |
|
| Listening by jayman | 6 years ago |
thought I'd repay the visit and found this...good stuff. would like to sample this and make some hip hop with it. as for the piano solo, the notes sounded good to me, besides, is it possible to have a wrong note on something you've composed? ashwan |
|
| Multi-Dimensional by ashwan | 6 years ago |
| i dunno, i think the hook is tight on this. i don't think this is a particularly great track though, but it has more to do with my production. it just gets a bit boring. still it was made a long time ago. anyways, thanks fo yo opinion. i am gonna be getting rid of some tracks soon, and putting new ones up. this is one that will be going. ash |

| Slow Down by OctoTrice | 6 years ago |
damn, this nearly blew my head off when it kicked in (i'm in the phones). phat. i love the sound of the snare (and kit as a whole), bass is interesting, but that guitar in my right ear is driving me crazy now, could use a little variation. I liked the out of key piano bit, i would have tried to use that somehow (maybe not that easy, but...) i apologise though, i listen to your music and critique it from the ears of someone who produces...i always relate it to: what can i learn from this? what would i have done with this? that kind of shi(zz). feel free to ignore me coz i aint no Premier! peace, ash |
|
| This is a Man by OctoTrice | 6 years ago |
tight beat, good clean, poppy sound. i would change one thing though...take out the scratch and either put in a real scratch or a drum roll or even just leave the space. this beat needs a dope emcee and a deejay to lace it with cuts. peace, ash |
|
| When The Sound Demands It by ashwan | 6 years ago |
| i realise the 'charleston' is way too hip hop, so listen with caution... ash |
|
| Not A Test by ashwan | 6 years ago |
| yo, sorry, forgot to say...the scratch loop at the intro was done by CURIOUS...damn, everyone is in there on this one. I should have left some space for chattabox and JVB. | |
| RIGHT NOW! by ashwan | 6 years ago |
| Respect Polyglot...thanks for the tight review. ash |
|
| Age Of Curiousity by ashwan | 6 years ago |

|
| Hobo's Son by ashwan | 6 years ago |
| ok, this is not hip hop, but I wanted the heads from this categorary to hear this...ashwan production. | |
| Scratch DJ by DJMarvel | 6 years ago |
| i am feeling the beat on this, but i gotta be honest, i am not feelin the fake scratchin at all. i would rather hear this with all of that taken off. get a nice emcee to ride this beat. i haven't rated it, sorry, but i would have to be harsh...didn't want to be because i liked the rest of it so much. | |
| Brooklyn Lights by MatGyver | 6 years ago |
give sade my phone number when you see her! |
|
| The Dons by DJMarvel | 6 years ago |

|
| California Love (rmx) by porkonrye | 6 years ago |
yeah man, nice...too much reverb on the vox though...do you compress your vox? |
|
| Money by Scratch99 | 6 years ago |
wow, you got those christmas puddings out again! brilliant, someone will play this for you at your stag night! you'll get to enjoy it all over again. fantastic. |
|
| Mom by Scratch99 | 6 years ago |
| yeah seriously, reminds me of a john cage piece i heard...3 minutes of something. respect scratch, takes balls the size of christmas puddings do to a tune like this, but once a again, you pulled it off! |
|
| OstroSized by ashwan | 6 years ago |

|
| Smutten by ashwan | 6 years ago |
| Thanks to everyone for the love. Phyllie, just got to point out, ASHWAN IS NOT and NEVER WILL BE an emcee. trust me, when you hear me try to string a sentence together, you'll know. but, the emcees in this tune (in order) are NEPTUNIUS, LYRICIL and CURIOUS. but you're right, there are some tight verses on this. peace. |
|
| I Wanna Be On Fire (vocals) by SlimGirlFat | 6 years ago |
yeah as per everyone, really nice vocals. good shtuff. ashwan |
|
| LOVESONG by curious | 6 years ago |
sorry kidda, had to give you a 4 for production, just coz i'll be out of a job otherwise. but that compression is workin on the vox...soundin cool...did you try running the whole tune through it too??? props also to Metro Williams. yo, if you didn't mail those other vox already, you can just mp3 them. that way i can get the other tune sorted out. peace.a1. |
|
| Coca-cola clock by raggamuffinloved | 6 years ago |
| much love Lex, look forward to hearing the completed version. btw: did you get my email re: radio play??? peace.............ash |
|
| Smutten by ashwan | 6 years ago |
| yeah those cats are tights as a gnats chuff. (hmmm what do you do with a comment like that?) FYI: Neptunius drops first, then Lyricil, with Curious taking this beat to bed. thanks JAZZONE for your positive feedback, you were quick on the draw. peace ashwan |

| iComp (A Love Story) by liquid | 6 years ago |
Liquid coming with the quality product as ever. i guess we all got too much time on our hands huh. peace. ashwan |
|
| Digital Data by ashwan | 6 years ago |
| i consider thatdebate open CURIOUS, and areally big debate it shouldbe. in fact everybody, feel freeto massdebate all over this track...special thanx to CHATTABOX (the ali g soundalike....yeah right) for his dope input into this track. CURIOUS, we spoke earlier about some of the issues with the production....it was a headphone mix and i think your bit of the chorus is a bit quiet in the mix. i can sort that out and send you a cd. CHATTA: if you want a cd, email me your address. Peace. Ash |
|
| Doin It Everyday by ashwan | 6 years ago |
| yohmar, the rap was by CURIOUS, so that is his department. i can give it a go, but trust me, you wouldn't get a very good rating for it! hit me up with any ideas though, I can always ask CURIOUS if he's into doing it. peace and thanks for the comments and superstar rating. ashwan |
|
| Summer in the City (of Wind) by ashwan | 6 years ago |
| i shouldda said, all cuts on this were performed by deejay FORM, of chitownes IL crew...laid down in the very nice EV studio's.there was alot of smoke and Form was definitely on fire. | |
| Wake Up by ashwan | 6 years ago |
| thanks chattabox...nice to see this with 5 stars finally. i just got verses from Curious, so expect something in your email soon. ash |
|
| Wake Up by ashwan | 6 years ago |
| Thanks Yohmar....i got to be honest i think this is one of the hottest things we done, yet people don't seem to be feelin this one so much...who knows. thanks again tho man. peace. ashwan |
|
| DROPPIN' THE FUNK by curious | 6 years ago |
| yo curious, i know how this should sound....rewind on this, and drop the higher bit rate version on us. good to hear it again though. how about this as one of the live tracks? | |
| F#@KYACHORUS by curious | 6 years ago |
| place anything next to anything and you get a juxtaposition... | |
| Wake Up by ashwan | 6 years ago |
| yeah for some fool reason i uploaded this as a low bit rate file first time and hadn't noticed til now...well here she is, hope you enjoy. | |
| F#@KYACHORUS by curious | 6 years ago |
| above, not avove, but it's all love....that's why i produce and not emcee | |
| Doobie Lah by network13 | 6 years ago |
fantastic, this kicks bobby mcferrins ***. would like to see you try this live though! peace, ash |
|
| 5th Street Interlude by AtommikBoy | 6 years ago |
esimmens, i wonder if the effects like compressor have actually been your undoing here. i agree with liquid, this is a dope dope dope beat, but you go listen to something well produced, i don't know, even on this site like dappadons "escape" i was just listening too, check out the space in the production, everything has room to breathe. i would go back into this and play with the panning more and maybe ease off on the compression. this is a mistake i always make too, trying to get as much volume as possible, but it squeezes it together too much. u still get props though. peace. ash |

| Mr. SoundMan Remix by themactech | 6 years ago |
real nice, very warm. |
|
| BANGIN AT YOUR SPOT (OLD SKOOL ROCK RMX) by ashwan | 6 years ago |
| ARN, yeah i got decks, had em for nuff time but i still can't even scratch my *** too well. curious lays down 90% of the cuts on our stuff and 100% of the good stuff...he's got skills, taught him everything i know (then he went an learned a sh*t load more). peace.ashwan | |
| Soundman (Ashwan RMX) by ashwan | 6 years ago |
| Sorry, just wanted to add, you can check her stuff under the name Ragamuffinloved on this site. Alexis, I really want you to put some vocals to a tune I have....if you're into it, hit me up. hope you like the mix. | |
| You Bet Your Brass by macsnob | 6 years ago |
| just gave this a listen cos i read the story of your grandfather and the organtar....great story, thanks for sharing. really wonderful pictures too. remind me of a paul auster book for some reason...not sure why. as for the music, it really feels hemmed in by the loops. my opinion, which aint worth sh*t, is that you should try break from the rigid loop structure...put in half bars, open the space up with extended reverb on various sounds on occasion, then drop back into the beat...that kind of thing. it didn't have a live, energetic feel at all, but i think that was mostly the structure. the tune definitely had it's strengths. i'm not going to rate it though...but i don't mean this in a negative way. ashwan |
|
| BANGIN AT YOUR SPOT (OLD SKOOL ROCK RMX) by ashwan | 6 years ago |
| cuts and vocals by curious...check his other stuff, i agree that the vox on this are not his hottest. thanks for listening and the great score though...i just checked your eastern tune, if anyone else reads this and is feelin bangin hip hop, go check this kid ARN's eastern tune out now. ashwan...tha capslock masta |

| WAKE UP low bit rate by ashwan | 7 years ago |
| thanks for listening ghostman, and thanks for you response. my opinion is that curious is original, witty, sharp and Funkin intelligent with a good delivery. i love Can I Bus too, no question, but curious is curious....check out the old skool artists cut, his lyrics on that are tight as hell and super hi-brow. he's a smart kid. hope you like it. ash |
|
| Hear I Come....... by ATOM1 | 7 years ago |
| Yeah real nice, but it is screaming out for a bit of relief with a vocal or scratch section, or both. definitely feelin it though. look forward to hearing the rest... | |
| WAKE UP low bit rate by ashwan | 7 years ago |
| vvoelz, you haven't got any beats on this site...??? | |
