DJDureagon's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[SH - My Money]

I like the wobbly bass

shaky shaky. Very jazz club my friend. A nice flow would work great on this. I would give a 10 but Some of you works are 10s some are 9s rarely below. Keep firing.

shaggyhaired responds:

Thanks bro, keep it up yourself.

[Kami | Beautiful Wasteland]

Real good

This has a pretty distinct sound. I like the backrgound noise and horns. They are really apropriate. It could use a punchier kick but that may just be a personal preference. I like it.

Kamikazi1 responds:

Thanks man

[SH - Baby Got Bacteria]

The master of funk

The pipes are on point for this. I even like the scratches and you know how I feel about scratches (i dont like them) The vocal samples are use cleverly. Mastering is real good. If i had anything to say it would be that one of the vocal samples has a snare in it that is kinda off beat. No big deal. I like it.

shaggyhaired responds:

Thanks dude, I noticed that snare too but was too lazy to try to figure out how to fix it :/

[HomeGrownDusted: The Beattapeh]

Yep its super dope.

Sample away my friend. The true foundations of hip hop lie within.

DJEPITOME responds:

Thanks Bro. Im A Big Fan Or You Work. I Love Your Album By The Way.

Its Cool To Hear Other Samplers Dig Our Music.

[Merry Go Up]

Pretty good sample work

The melody is catchy too. Overall pretty cool. I think a rapper should spit over this and it would give the song some nice depth cuz it does seem to drone on after a bit. The drums are fine. The mastering is not bad either. Solid.

ShaolinFury responds:

thank you. the song was intended for whoever they please to get on the beat.

[Kami | Golden Sunsets]

Yeah I dig.

I really like what you did with this sample. It's really somehting special taking somehting familiar and shaping it to be new and fresh again. Nice work.

Kamikazi1 responds:

Thanks man!

[SH - Ancient]

spooky

Its like... im in the van with shaggy and scooby. Im in the FUCKING VAN!

Anyways i really like the vocals they are really juicy. The piano when its by itself just kinda feels ominous and like all buisness. Its like seeing a badass salesman. Wtf am I talking about here? TBH this is not my kind of track to listen to regularly. Its the kind of track i would only listen to when i am comming up with some sort of plan. A diabolical plan.... wtf again.

Ok The song is unreviewable. Its good i like it man. :P

shaggyhaired responds:

Thanks dude, always appreciate your reviews

It had me chuckling

What a gay word - chuckling

[To USB Failures]

A mess.

The piano sample could almost be good if you chopped it and ... well .. did something else with it lol. The beat is simple but not the most horrible thing ive ever heard in my life. it could almost be a quirky beat if it didnt just seem thrown together. The no bassline is... you don't have one. And the no variation at all also hurts the track. uhhhhhhh.... keep trying :)

spartacusxerox responds:

Thx 4 ur criticsm, DJ, and I respect ur view. It's not very varied, and it probly does need a bassline. I'll try to keep this in view in future tracks.

[Kami | Summer time]

Kami my nucca.

Repetition is a part of hip hop. That is one thing that makes this genre of music different from a lot of others. In the words of MF Doom "The beat is sicker than the blood in your stool the way it repeats could trick ya like a stuttering fool." A beat that repeats in a way that makes it addictive is a magical thing. Keep making music the way you do and don't let anyone tell you that its repetative.

With all of that being said. I feel that this beat isnt as good as a lot of your other works, but its still a dope beat. Jazzy is all up in this beat and its very lounge worthy. I like the sax its very soothing and the bass is also on point. I just felt that its a little flat. The beat is supposed to be mellow but it never draws you in as much as it should. I had to listen to it multiple times to hear the whole thing cuz i would drift off somewhere before the song ended. I'm not sure what you could add to make the song have more pull, but i dont think more samples would be the real answer. It COULD be an answer but i think you have enough as it is.

Anyways homie. Do your thing. 8 is only 2 less than perfect.

Kamikazi1 responds:

I feel ya homie. This track was basically just for rapping, just a simple lounge track to cool out to and spit some flow.

[FF | What I Mean]

I know what you mean

at 2:27. yeah... at 2:27 its like really great. Give it a listen everyone. One thing i disagree about. This ain't just a beat its like a mini vacation.

freddyfinger responds:

thanks :)
