Tic Toc - Nice track man...the boom bap feel and the mean chops on point...i think you just need to drop the beat down to a few db's.....jay's vocal is behind the beat....

I chopped alot the week as well.The melody in my remix uses part the intro of the sample. I Imported the sound in my sampler and used it as an instument.

Just posted my final remix of my remix of Kanye's remix of Jay's song (I just got lost). Anyway, I should cite all my samples to give credit where it's due: The Persuaders' "Trying Girls Out" (hopefully I used it) Jay-Z "Girls Girls Girls (Kanye West Remix)" (acapella) Jay-Z "Girls Girls Girls" (acapella) Notorious B.I.G. "Big Poppa" (acapella) Method Man "All I Need" A Tribe Called Quest "Bonita Applebum" Patti LaBelle "Love, Need and Want You" I love how everybody comes with something different, so many styles here. I haven't listened to all the tracks, but let me return some short comments to those I've gotten to hear so far: Bidimridim, the melody you drop in the middle of the first verse is so addictive and creative, unlike anything else. 44th, you mastered those 16th notes and I can really move with that beat Alien, you change the beat and sound up so much, it keeps me guessing in a good way, it's like a live performance - really entertaining Isbjerg, i like the hop to the drums and shakes, and I didn't think I'd like a slowed-down Mos Def but it works well John Byrne, that was an awesome song to sample, it's like Large Professor/Kool Keith stuff, the vocals don't hear my ear as right, but the beat is ingenious Tokyo Cigar, I like the way you chopped the sample, it's not too chopped up, you let it ride, hope you get the vocals synched up. Clear Blue, i really felt the kick and clap with the shaker in between, and you hooked up acapella oh so right Razorsharpe, I had a lot of fun listening to yours, Chris Rock makes for one of the best intros and the beat had a tight march quality to it I know there's more to come, can't wait.

The flying lotus like chopping is crazy! Clear Blue – I Think you just need to adjust the volume on the track a little by like 3-4 db….nice job though DJTommyIIGunz – I like how you flipped the track…plus you added my favorite rapper into the mix…..nice…..drums is on point…the only problem is that the acapella is off DNB – Amazing Intro…and from there you kill it 6 ft. under….just need to add the acapella Psymun – Another banger…wrong acapella though Ion The Prize – Feelin’ the RZA-like Drums…your chops gave the track the R&B vibe it’s supposed to have…great job Isbjerg – Jay, Mos, & DMX??!!??!!...only you can make that happen!
