Well, I find it boring but you got dope beats so it works for you. Maybe it's your voicing

*gives pass*

I don't know the theory too well, but my go to scale is the C Meldoic Minor (Descending) and I just use all the possible chords I can make from that scale...

I also use the C Blues scale a lot...

you could either modulate into a different key/mode or just pick a chord in the o.g. key that isn't the tonic.

I started out with a lot of melodies around A minor. My newest beats Im staying on Major as much a possible. I do a little piano work here and there but mainly, just enough to get by with a hip hop beat. Im tryna get on that pro level little by little to be able to make my own classical sounding tracks and throw some heavy drum patterns over them. Dope thread.
