Snippet of Beat

[Tash8]

Hello,

This is just the snippet of the beat "Lovely Gangster"

I didn't post the whole thing up, because there's no point, this is just the loop basically

Listen

I never added a main melody to it because I couldn't find one to fit it, and because I was working on my drum pattern mostly...

feed please,

wut i said on msn...it would get pretty repetive after a while...if u use it
but whatever...maybe addin another loop or somthin lol
but its sounds good tho....

[Tash8]

yea i know it was repetitive, the reason is because i was focusing on the drum pattern a lot so i kept it short.

well the drum pattern is kinda off... I mean, technically it's not off, but it's a 3/4 beat... while 95% of hip hop beats are 4/4... I don't know if you know what I'm talking about, but I don'T know how to explain it in english lol... I'm not good with the technical words in english, but 4/4 means there is 4 beats/hits in every bar... like, kick clap kick clap, 1 - 2 - 3 - 4, that's a bar... but yours is 3/4, so it's like 1 - 2 -3, 1 - 2 - 3 etc... it changes the flow a lot... if you can rap on this, it might not be a problem, but it might also end up sounding messy a bit

yea i understand what you mean, and that makes since to why i can't rap to it haha

didn't know that it was 4

so is it possibe to do

kick hi kick clap?

would that be a bar that flowed nice?

well maybe but it depends on their timing on the beat... listen to a song like "straight to the bank" by 50 cent (that's the first one that came to my mind for what I wanna explain lol) the drum pattern is pretty much just "kick clap kick clap" (there are more subtle details, but the main thing is just kick clap kick clap)... in that case, "kick clap kick clap" is a bar, and it's in 4/4... but sometimes you can have like 8 kicks in a bar, it all depends... try to listen to songs you like, and try to snap your finger to the beat, and be able to count the 4 beats in every bar... you'll get better with timing and tempo but for your beat, yeah, your pattern could work
