retarded hip hop

I am trying to make hip hop, here is a beat

Please let me know how I can make it more hip hop

Here is the xrns if you wanna mess about with it http://www.filedropper.com/gremlins

Using linux dsp plugs

Please repost here if you work on it, audio or xrns

Good job man! Interesting way to sample.

But I think that your beat (kick and snare) sounds a little bit too robotic, not so natural and groovy. I would hear a nice breakbeat :slight_smile:

If I have time, i will try to work on your xrns!

Thanks for your input, yeah its a kick from an old disco track or something, I will keep that in mind

the kick rythm and the reverse drum sample sound nice but definitely take away from the hip hop vibe. Something a bit simpler but with more groove would work better for that. At the moment sounds a bit idm-ish which is cool but not what you’re going for according to your post

I heard some reverse drum sounds in some xhibit intstrumentals but I guess thats more hip pop than hip hop. I get what your saying, I am sampling pop cd’s not just jazz and soul. Thanks
