5'd, DL'd.
I know this review isn't terribly constructive, but it's a top notch piece :D

I was expecting a good funktastic beat to come in about halfway, or atleast some kind of change - but alas, the same kick and snare over and over again. Good concept, but needs work.

I'm digging the percussion and melodic riffs here.
Only complaint would be the mastering (especially of the lower end) - the bass 'falls out' and could use a firmer kick as well as some better stereo panning on some of the instruments.
Other than that, this is a pretty sweet track!
Author's Response:
i tried editing in the bass a bit more but it might have been overkill [i dont have good speakers or headfones to mix with haha] tell me if thats good. ill see what i can do with the kick, too, since a guy before me also complained about it haha. thanks for the constructive crit!

I'm not sure how you keep getting BOTW with sub-par submissions like this.
At any rate -
I guess you're making these in an effort to be funny, and while the portal was never made to showcase pointless humor (rather, music for flash games) I find it irrelevant as this doesn't even successfully have any good humor.
The technical quality is pretty bad - you clearly have no idea how to use Autotune, and probably less of an idea of FL.
You obviously took your idea from the show "Fone Jacker."
I'm pretty much done with this review. You're at rock bottom.
If you'd like to improve, you can always try reading up on basic music theory and production. There's your constructive criticism.

As i've said before about Sorohanro being my favorite for jazz on Newgrounds, you're definitely my favorite for piano pieces!
Keep it up!
5'd!

Quite the potty mouth for someone who is believed to be ten years old.
Aside from the unnecessary cursing, your rapping is offbeat, there is an absence of melody, and all of the samples here sound straight from the FL packs.
A word of advice: try and make something as good as you can. Then, set it aside for a couple of days and listen to it again and try to improve on it.
Also, reading up on some music theory wouldn't hurt. A good place to start would be with "Scales," "keys," and "chords."
Hopefully you'll be on the road to improving in no time.

"Smooth and relaxing, but not as melodic enough"
Everything here is absolutely perfect except for an absence of a strong melody (atleast imo.)
I do like the kick you mentioned in the description, nicely done!
Anyway, this was a great track. 5'd, downloaded.

This is a nice, happy song!
I could easily see this as BG music in a game or something.
One thing that bugged me though was that the more mono-center instruments were too loud. (Personal preference, though.)
Other than that, nice work!
Author's Response:
Thanks for the advice, i'll take a look at the volume levels.
And thanks for the review!

A nice, dark piece you've got here.
I like the gritty feel with the noise in the background and the synths.
Nice job!
I agree with Codomis, keep it as is.

Very relaxing tune you've got here!
Only complaint was that perhaps the hats were a decibel or two too loud. But of course, that's a personal preference.
At any rate, keep it up!
Author's Response:
Thanks. :)
Well, I could turn the hats down a bit but I think the song would loose some of its drive.
I'll check some of your tunes out, too if you don't mind. You have an awful lot by the way! :D
