Same here. I've made 100s of sketches but hardly ever make a full track. Sketches is fun but making interesting full tracks is hard work.

Idk man i think that beat is more than enough for a song.
Just need a rapper to hit it right.
I find my fav songs are my simplest with my own lyrics making the most of the beat. My fav songs are simple loops with elite rappers. I try not to get carried away and go with the vibe.
If ya not takint them far, focus on what in the beat IS working. This beat above i can hear many songs on it. Lil 12 bar verses. Catchy hook. Itd be a fine song.
But im a older head. I know you kids like to have these epic songs but imo less is more. The rza’s work is a prime example of what i mean put into action.

It reminds me of some 3 6, Brotha Lynch Hung type stuff. Pretty good, my critique is that its pretty busy from start to finish, but I guess thats what you're saying. Just flesh it out a bit and cut some of the sounds out or use them more sparingly.
I agree its way more fun to keep exploring new ideas than finish anything. I haven't done anything for a few months now, but you've gotta get it together every now and then.

Sometimes I be too excited and just want to share the beat...

It took me a while to actually focus on finishing traccs. Making new shyt is always so distracting

I think alot of producers, myself included, are guilty of this. Thats why for me I gotta give myself a time limit to try get a track done. If its not done in an hour then scrap it all together and go onto the next. Its like a fun little challenge and keeps you from over thinking stuff alot and just go with it.
Oh damn ..Alot of the times I'll take a break for a few days then come back fresh to a beat then finish it within like an hour.
I usually do this with sampled songs because I have trouble at times finding the right balance of adding more layers to the beat but no oversaturating with sounds.
Or I'll come back and find I need to EQ the sample better.

I need 3 days to finish a beat. Sometimes i put in 12 hours total for 1 beat.
