Gasmasq's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Franswa - The Formula]

Can I record on this?

Damn bro this is phat as fuck. We should definitely work together.

EternalXIII responds:

feel free !

[Fossil Fuel (with Bill Hicks)]

Sweet

I'm diggin the subject matter, but as these other cats have already said, it doesn't seem like you have much presence. This is something that comes with time, but when an artist is monotone for a whole track, it just sounds like they're bored.

You've got some similarities in your voice (the way you've got that reverb, and some effect I would assume) with South Park Mexicans. That kinda throws me off, but your wit definitely shows that you are your own artist.

This track is much better than Party Hardy in my opinion.

MaoDaMighty responds:

Thanks for the words man. The reveb is probally me singing in the background, I felt like experiementing with the sound. Now that I listen to it, it does kinda sound like South Park Mexicans, hahah! Good ear!

[5SCC Five seckonds..biatch]

Hell yeah

Scratch that shit DJ!

A 9 for the slight pause at the end, but that could be the player, so I 5'd you.

Black-Cloak-of-Night responds:

Yeah, you can't loop on NG properly. You have to listen to it a couple times.
Thanks tho.

[Carf - Shizzle (Hiphop)]

Yup, you're still Carf

While I do agree that with the commenter below, that most hip hop instrumentals don't contain enough diversity, I think this one has <em>too</em> much. A normal hip hop instrumental is in the format of:
1. Intro (4-8 bars, no drums)
2. Verse loop (16 bars)*
3. Hook loop (8 bars)
4. Verse loop (16 bars)
5. Hook loop (8 bars)
6. Verse loop (16 bars)
7. Hook loop (16 bars, fades out)

While I respect your creativity, you might want to minimize your imagination when making hip hop instrumentals. They're not fun like techno in that respect.
Still... props.

*:Some artists prefer to bring their songs in on the hook first, typically if the beat is cut off after the 3rd verse.

[Carf - Dark (NonVocalHiphop)]

Definitely a Carf piece.

It's a good piece, but I wouldn't necessarily consider it to be hip hop. The bass is too techno-ey, and it's not in any sort of discernible bars-per-verse format. I'm not really into techno, so I'm probably wrong, but isn't this Trance?

Good job regardless.

[Life's Choices]

Melodic, smooth

Quite interesting. Not my particular style (most of the time) but quite well done. Like I said, not something I would write lyrics to, just because it's slow, but yeah, well... I'm repeating myself aren't I?

Keep up the good work.

C-Enterprise responds:

I got it i got it eheh
everyone has it's own flavor about beats, personally I love beats that get around 80bpm with hihats running around 160bpm, but I just can't rhyme on them, so I get your opinion about this beat.
Thanks
