Libby-Shimmz's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Concept Kindled]

As Kwing said, I get a very Nujabes feel from this, albeit without the Low Pass Filter Jun usually used.

That sample sounds like it's a low quality MP3.

Is that due to the filter that's being applied?

With the drums, it fits, but it would have been better if you'd have continued with the b section in the second half.

Perhaps some scratches on some vocals for a hook, then go back with a bit of differentiation in the beat during the second verse.

As it stands, this isn't horrible; It just needs to be fleshed out some more. :)

4/5 8/10

DJDureagon responds:

There are several filters being applied but the sample is definitely muddy and lacking in detail. as much as i would love to mess with something higher quality I am not apposed to this sounding one dimensional as long as i can add enough to it to make it sound.. fun? i guess.

All good and true points. I really enjoy this kind of feedback. It's the reason i post up my tunes in this site really.

[-GM- Spring]

Loving the breaks G! The upright bass, piano and sax are uber dope as well. This'd be a good track to freestyle over.

Keep it up mate!

5/5 10/10

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Preciate it brothaman!

[-GM-Anjo- Without W.A.R.]

Dope instrumental G.

Those rhodes are smooth as silk.

Where can I find more of Anjovi's rhymes?

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thanks dog. You can go on soundcloud and search anjovi, he seems to post there more.

[Standing By]

This is nice.

Loved the dialogue sample.

I think this would benefit from some scratching.

What do you use to make beats?

Waidmann responds:

Fl studio.

[Ten Feet]

Come up in yo house; Rub my feet on yo couch!

Seriously though, kind of wack bruh.

Half-asleep, eh?

Ha!

Get back in the groove mang.

Teqneek responds:

I'm an odd fellow and I like making weird stuff sometimes. This spur of the moment recording is me trying to get on back in the thang namsayin? Plus I kinda like it. I'll ride with it. But thanks for leaving your thoughts, it all helps me develop myself as a rap dude

[-GM- Nuance]

Fuck B,

I think I just got kidney stoned.

That piano is dope as hell bruh.

Can't wait to hear the finished project.

Eagerly awaiting,

Liberal Shimmering

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thanks! Sun Ra btw!

[HDC: Kwing v Phr0zen]

Apart from Kwing's mic, I have only one other qualm. His flow could use more work. His first verse wasn't as off-point as his second and overall he wasn't horrible, just complicated to listen to.

When it comes to deciding a winner, I'll tip my hat towards Phr0zen. His 'attacks' hit harder than Kwing's and I especially liked the 'plane hittin' cardboard' line as well as the lines Glitch mentioned.

Shout-out to Rampant for the beat. Where is the Acoustic Guitar sourced from?

HDC responds:

Kwing second verse was not placed correctly when it was mixed, so that's why it wasnt on beat.

*Edit: Kwing's second verse has been adjusted.

[When All Else Fails]

I really love the synth sounds on this track, but that bass is a little over-compressed.

The piano sounds like basic FL Keys, so for the future I'd reccomend you use a Soundfont.

Your vox are alright, but I'm not really digging the subject matter on the EP so far. I can appreciate it, but it grates on me after a few tracks.

Your enunciation could use a little polishing as well.

I will get around to some more reviews after I go out for some Thai food. :D

RezzyTip responds:

Lyricwise it changes as you progress through it.. based on the samples you use i think youll like the second half of my outro. I do have songs on it that are a tad bit more poetic and less violent. I also have punchline heavy songs coming up if you continue to progress through the tape. There are tracks lyric wish I think youd enjoy. I didnt produce this beat, ChainFree did, but im glad you enjoyed it. Like I said, I think its a combination of speed&aggression that is killing my clarity, &its something im working on. Thanks for giving it a listen bud, & I hope you finish it!

[Fiend For A Night]

'Swallow a bottle full?' What's that all about?

Fuckin' crazy flow here Rezzy. I've got to be honest and say that I don't really dig TylerG.

Is it in-house produced? I really dig the xylophone. :)

RezzyTip responds:

'Tomorrows so sorrowful, swallow a bottle full, everythings dark & not colorful, noddin off GONE!' that sir, is a recipe for an overdose. What was it you didnt like about tylers verse? Thank you on the flow compliment, this was one of those beats (yes, in-house) that everything just came fluently when I sat down to write.
