Dude, get over yourself. There are a shitload of people here who listen to breaks and rap. Even if there weren't, you won't get far making excuses like that.

The first thing I noticed is that on almost all of these tracks, the sound quality is brutal. And the second thing I noticed is that you bounced/encoded them at 22 kHz. WTF? Better sound quality is effectively free and doesn't even take any extra effort, just changing a setting on your encoder. Why would you want it to sound like a cassette tape that's been sitting on the shelf for one year too many?

Next. I see at least a few tracks in here that you posted on this forum before, and if I'm not mistaken they've been left virtually unchanged despite having received largely negative feedback the first time around. I'm not saying that artists should always do what their listeners tell them to, in fact that's a foolproof formula for failure, but you need to listen to your critics. If people hate something, and you're unwilling to change it due to emotional attachment or whatever, then at least don't include it in your demo. Remember that Einstein-attributed quote about doing the same thing and expecting different results? It applies here.

Finally, it sounds like you're just using loops and acapellas and inserting them wholesale into a sequencer without any major modifications or even much additional original material. That's what my 13-year-old nephew does on his toy Macbook. I'm certainly not opposed to sampling but I think you're missing the point.

Now I understand what you wrote about not being a producer or a beatmaker or an artist and so on... so maybe I'm being unnecessarily harsh, but if that is the case then maybe you need to enlighten us on what it is that you are trying to do, because I don't think I get it. It's like a musical collage - which I guess is fine as a hobby but why post it here?

I almost always try to say something positive or at least constructive about other people's tracks, as I'd expect them to do for mine, but I just don't know how to do that for stuff that seems to be essentially recycled material randomly thrown together and bounced/encoded at a pointlessly low-fi output.

Again, I'm sorry if I'm being a jerkwad and dismissing a lot of hard work and sweat from you, but I honestly think I'd be doing you a disservice if I told you that you were sitting on a Juno here, because I'd only be setting you up for even bigger disappointment down the road.

Thanks for sharing anyway man. And good luck.

some of the tracks are a little too far "out there" but you can definitely see you're doing something original with all the genres you put together, and a lot of them sounded really cool.. but like diginut said, they were saved at really poor audio quality, so kind of hard to tell

Personally I hope no 1 is a fan of my music but a fan of the idea of making something for ppl who live in Canada giving respect to the music that shapes & influences u on the daily every1 is into different kinds of music.

An idea is nothing without proper execution, which is what you lack.
