Thanks. This one and my newer ones are more uptempo. They are coming out pretty good.
What's up homie...you a cool cat so let me critique this for you. Ok the overall beat is cool but the problem I have with your beat at this point is they don't sound like a cohesive body of work. A lot of the sounds come off as like you just randomly threw together different things. Stuff just randomly jumps in and out. Basically I think you are trying to hard. If you would have rode that synth and drum pattern you started with and stop switching up and throwing in random chants, patterns etc...then the beat would have been 
but keep working at it homie cause you are coming along!

Your feedback doesn't make sense to me.
How I tried to make this can't be determined by listening to it and for the record nothing can be further than the truth.
The random chants you refer to were only used for the hook portions of the track. A similar example would be HEY-HO in Naughty By Nature's Hip Hop Hooray. Nothing random about it because they appear at exact timed intervals throughout the track. After each of the three sixteen bar verses you have eight bar hooks where the chant appears for four of those bars. The drum patterns are the same ones used in the song except for sounds of the percussion taken out. That technique has been used in countless songs as well.
There is only one other primary sound besides the synth used for the verses. The song structure for the verses are: four bars with the synth, then four bars with the other sound, four bars with the synth, then four bars with the other sound etc. for a duration of sixteen bars. A very clear and distinct pattern that is easy to pick up on that continues throughout the track. Nothing random that just jumps out as you put it. Anyone should be able to catch it after the first eight bars with or without the intro.
What I am getting from you is the typical "This is how I would have made the beat instead." comments often used for feedback. If you don't feel the beat that's cool. But don't try to project your own production style onto my beat. You telling me it would have been better had I done the beat your way is meaningless. What I want to hear is more technical feedback rather than personal preferences for the simple fact that I can't/won't take everyone's personal preference into consideration for future beats.
What I would like to know is what sounds come off as being thrown together, what are the random patterns you're talking about and what exactly is the "etc" you were referring to, was the over sound loud enough, was the bass to loud.

Easy fam...first thing I got to tell you is that you should FIRST off thank cats for even providing you some feedback cause most as you can tell ARE NOT...then after that I owe you nothing. And I'm sorry dude but that shyt has random shyt starting from about 5 seconds where it sounds like some dude speaking gibberish Spanish...then you got some fool chanting Aye Aye Aye then random crashes etc...then the drum pattern switches about 20 time on a beat that's less than 2 minutes
if you don't hear all this going on AND you got mad cause someone even took the time to give you some feedback then I don't think this beat making shyt is for you. And you are wrong when you say I'm speaking on as if I made the beat cause sorry fam I would never make a beat like that. I got my own styles. Now with all that said let me offer some words of wisdom...I'm not the best beat maker on here by far but I listen to the cats that ARE better than I am and think about how they do what they do then at LEAST reference the techniques when I do my own thing. You REFUSE TO DO THAT 
Anyway keep practicing fam but change your attitude or no one will never even offer you any feedback.

I'm not mad and you still haven't provided any real feedback so why the fukk would I thank you? Dude speaking gibberish Spanish?

You still not making any sense which is why I addressed your post. You telling me I should have used the synth is telling me how you would have made the beat. Yes, I refuse to follow trends I have already said that. I don't need a change in attitude either, everything I said to you was said out of respect and my points had merit. I have taken feedback into consideration in the past, once again you are trying to see something you can't by simply listening to a beat. But whatever.

I'm basically gonna just sum up what the homie bigRod said or was trying to say. Maybe you need to hear it from someone else or just in a different way.
The beat ain't bad, but it's gonna need some work before nikkas can call it hot fire. The reason for that is the way you have it arranged. You got a bunch of random shyt that makes the beat sound like some cluster fukk of different sounds. You didn't really build the beat up or have smooth enough transitions to make it feel like everything really came to together. It sounds like one big loop with just different sounds thrown in. Like make an intro, then let it drop and do the chorus and pick parts where you going to have those different sounds to come in. The overall melody is on point though
I'm not a beat maker,so I can't give you technical feedback on the producer side. I spit, so I can only tell you the perspective from a nikka who emcee.
Hopefully this helps...and you should thank anybody that takes time to listen to what you post up. Now if a nikka said your shyt was wack and didn't give an explanation, I can understand acting salty and telling nikkas they need to fukk off with they hating ass, but none of that happened here.
Coli nikkas should stick together. We all trying to come up breh.

Thank you LB cause this is EXACTLY what I was trying to tell him...I emcee as well and work with a lot of artists and the way he has it arranged NOBODY could spit to it.

Actually it doesn't help at all. You haven't said what is random, you say make an intro which this has and the rest is how you would want the beat to sound if you were going to rhyme to it. Which is cool I guess but I didn't ask for that as I said to bigrodthe1. The only thing I get aside from that, which I disagree with, is the transitions aspect.
If you give feedback or not don't make me or break me I'm not going to thank anyone for it. Especially when someone is confusing the vocal tag as an element of the beat.
