Oh great, more dope ass beats you'd rather have me NOT spit over.




I can hear the "come on" in the piano.

Oh great, more dope ass beats you'd rather have me NOT spit over.




I can hear the "come on" in the piano.

lmaoooooooo, i want you to spit over all of them when i drop the mp3's around 5 am tonight/tomorrow (hopefully, at this rate it might not be up that quick. each youtube vid is like 120 mb's-ish, and bandcamp makes me upload wav's which will be around that big as well. I'm just posting mp3's to soundcloud and my site tho)

but word anyone can use these. until i license any of them. than you can still use them just pretend i'm not aware of it :). this isn't even me making this post. for legal reasons.

but word to the come on. it was a japanese sample and i don't know what the dude was saying in the chops i took. it almost sounds like "come on home" to me. like in the transition from verse to hook. but in reality he's probably saying death to whitey. it just sounds like kummah ohhhhhhhhh

(Sigh)

I'll never forget the elaborate breakdown of why you hate what I do to hip hop beats

uh-oh
06-19-2015, 08:39 PM
lol, that was a long time ago, i liked what you did to that one beat i looped for you haha. and i have heard a couple other tracks since that i liked BRO

maybe i got used to your voice, or maybe your delivery and presence just got better. i dig chill phil da god tho. i am your champion on HERE.

also tagmaker step forth, and receive this hug i have for you

06-19-2015, 09:51 PM

havent had the chance to listen yet, but that cover looks dope yo

uh-oh
06-19-2015, 11:49 PM
thanks bro

and word thanks muff and destro

all the beats are now in the opening post.

i got them batch uploading to bandcamp now, bout to crash out tho so i'll just "publish" it on bandcamp in the morning, and upload to soundcloud then as well.

then post it around and see what type of views i'm looking at. i feel this is my most complete, mainly because its all new tho. on all my other tapes they were like 5-10 new beats and then old filler, where as all of these with the exception of nothing to hide were made since april, and nothing to hide was from that song cake posted. probably january? WHO KNOWS

but word.

uh-oh
06-20-2015, 01:51 AM
so hey i'm still up

bandcamp links and soundcloud links in the first post.

now i'm gonna eat cold spaghetti drink some warm soda and sleep the sleep of a thousand dead fish

genuinely hoping you get lucky and some artist with ~1 million twitter followers stumbles upon your beats and decides to have you produce their entire next shit

only listened to the intro yesterday but im sure it's all dope.

well done

Geno
06-20-2015, 09:48 AM
downloading as we speak bro.

def gonna drop over a few of these beats. and i think the formula of spitting ive come up with lately is gonna sound dope over uh-oh production.

havnt listened yet.. accept to what singles youve dropped (maybe 2-3 beats) but i will honing in on them shortly


first track is playing..... im excited folks

Sn00p
06-20-2015, 09:49 AM

Geno
06-20-2015, 10:00 AM

your lasy ones were all dope tracks.. but i could be nitpicky and say that there were a bunch i wouldnt spuit over... so far i can fuck with this whole joint and am getting some really creative vibes from it. beautiful bro. another sick tape man

dude -you came back waaaayyyyyyy harder than you went out, and im really impressed with that man. im gonna do my best to promote your shit as well as use your productions.. ive already re-uploaded your bandcamp link to my FB and gave james halton a massive shout out as one of my favorite beat producers. so well see what happens man

EDIT!!!
HOLLYYYY SHEEEEIIITTTTTT... i just want you to know -that im gonna fucking destroy this "this is a mans world" BITTERNESS" track. fucking insane man

dude i love the RZA samples in landscape -AM I RIGHT BRO??? swear i hear some RZA in thiere

Hope u enjoy

uh-oh
06-20-2015, 01:21 PM
you guys are all the real mvp's

or whatever the kids say nowadays.

updated my website as well, basically just put the cover on the homepage and clicking it directs to my bandcamp, and in the video section embedded the youtube playlist of the album

http://jameshalton.com/

but word
Muff, lol, i literally named these as i uploaded them to youtube. i name all my beats as the date i make them. like "the doom" is the second oldest beat on there and it was 4.15.15, then church was the last one i made, which was 6.18.15. so as i uploaded them i basically tried to think of anything it reminded me of or something. i'm wack at naming shit.

but word appreciate the listens, and believe me any feedback is appreciated, i don't need constructive criticism as much as just your thoughts. there is no wrong feedback when it comes to music, just really do you like it or not, and if not why. its not as technical as rap and shit. i mean it is, but i value the opinion of someone who knows nothing almost more than someone who does. because someone who does has preconceived notions based on how difficult something is for them to do, or shit like that. when music is music. is it dope? then i don't care if it took you an hour to do a 5 second segment or 5 seconds lol.

but word good looking out.
Hush WORD THANKS MY DUDE
Genocide, thanks bro. add me on facebook if you want. real name no gimmicks. just dont post all over my timeline lol. i like giving off the illusion that i only use facebook to post projects and shit every 8 months lol.

@snoop thanks dude. out of the 5 beats or so i like most off this madness is up there. everything worked how i wanted when chopping. didnt have to force anything, transitions and everything are dope. and i like the slow awkward movements of the drums and shit. i really like that beat too.
dead man thanks brother. i've had interest in the past but those same type of dudes lose interest. but i mean never really millions of followers, but like in 08 the chinese battle rapper jin was trying to use some shit and never did lol, than i got the lower level industry dudes that showed love. but honestly i get more love from producers than rappers. daneja/fifth seal, domingo (both produced for pun) sa'id who helped my development, minnesota, nottz, and them have given props in one way or another. cus, an engineer who works with mainstream artists and big labels. can't get him to mix my shit tho lol.

but word outside of placements as background music, i don't see much money from beats. which is why i don't really like working with rappers. and it really is no offense to the rappers i do work with. but literally everytime someone i want to work with wants to use something, it never happens, and the dudes who do use my shit don't really do anything with them. it just becomes a random internet track with 100 views, and then they get salty if i give the same beat to someone else or put it on a tape lol

so i just release shit as standalone music, if an artist wants to pay its theirs. if a company wants to license it its theirs.

if they get hit for copyright infringement because i sample and CLEAR NOTHING, then i nuke my computer and all accounts and disappear lol

loved the doom, bitterness, unease, turmoil, dread was dope but could have went a little harder I think.

madness was fire. even the ones I didn't love i listened all the way through and enjoyed, some were more like soundtrack type shiz but still ill. you should hit up gow about using something in his new game. (that gta type shit I started with him, lost interest once GTA did their next gen update with fps mode but he's still at it)

I'm wokring on my own shit too with some childhood friends but it probably won't be in beta til like middle next year but if it's cool I'd like to use madness as like part of the opening scene

mystery and destiny were dope too

props man, you're a really talented dude

uh-oh
06-22-2015, 05:20 PM
thanks bro

and just let me know, i've wanted to do video game type shits for awhile, if you let me know scenes and shit i might be able to do custom backdrops and that type of shit too
