i don't know what happened to you honestly. for like 10 years straight you made 0 progression. i'd feed your beats and tracks and it'd be like speaking to an abyss. you'd take the criticism usually, and id be like ok maybe this time it stuck. then you'd post another beat or track and there was no progression at all. don't get me wrong i wasn't expecting you to follow my every critique, because at the end of the day all the critiquing is, is input of how someone else views it could be better. but alot of the time it was cuz you were using generic sounds, playing in generic patterns, and it was all just mediocre. it worked but inspired no feeling. with writing and rapping you were the same way, it was just simple and cookie cutter. but lately i've noticed at least you stepping up the rhyming and being better, your flow is still straight forward and simple for lack of a better term tho, and these types of beats kind of accentuate the simplicity.

so thats my only real critique for you moving forward, when you're doing these slower trap style(ish) beats, you don't want just the average finny flow, you can utilize it but mix it up. i'd study royce if i were you. his flows are his strongest point. people love his pen game, and he is an upper echelon writer, but his flows are ridiculous. compare his shits on any track where he's collabing with someone. he tends to ride the hihats to the snares. which in trap beats if you're going for dope bars and shit is a must, otherwise you might as well dumb it way down with some lean drinking and moan and other gay shit lol. but i mean yea you can get sporadic and shit

like that last beat is more boom bap than trap though, im digging the drums, i would just layer in a fatter snare and kick. you kind of have a clean kick layered in and the snare is thin. but when using break drums like that, all you need from them is the "air" around em. the enviornment that lends the sound to them. but word if you just put a fat snare over top, and a beefier dirty kick as well, it'd get it to really slap and stand out.

but what i meant to say about that third beat, the same way you drop the sample as a beatmaker, you can drop your flows when rapping on beats. if your on a trap beat you can let it breathe and come in sporadic on it in a similair way the beats drop out. if that makes any sense

i dunno, but yea i thought all these were cool and as good as your recent ones, where i've noticed the elevation.

keep banging out findawg. some time these past couple years you finally got out of your usual and stepped up big time
