AxTekk's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[LS-Apocalypse-AWOLF]

OK, bro you know you're in my toptier of producers, so I'ma skip all the "OMGDISOSM" shit (although it definitely is), and hit you with creative crit: the hat seemed a little too upfront and dry, maybe if you stuck a high intensity low rate chorus on it that'd smooth out. Also it sounded a tad over compressed, and the lower end frequencies all interfered a lil, maybe some EQing? o.O

OH and also OMGDISOSM.

I might not have mentioned that bit...

Libby-Shimmz responds:

Danke fur die crit. I'll edit the kinks out when me and my MCing buddies finish it.

"Also it sounded a tad over compressed" - This beat is actually uncompressed. I didn't know about compression until a few months ago. This track was finished back sometime between January and June of last year.

"OH and also OMGDISOSM. I might not have mentioned that bit..." Ha Ha! Thanks for the nice words.

[MC Tournament Diss/Hype]

Bro, your delivery and schemes are maxing! Keep on it.

JakobePaulobe responds:

Thanks man, your instrumentals are sick

[Upon Arrival]

Thing that struck me most as a hole in your production arsonal- that kick. It'd be great as with the bass taken down as a high kick in a series of layers, but on it's own it's really weak. Try layering it over more kicks, the standard mix being one of them, a more accoustic kick for the punch and then a bassy kick with more tail.

BARZ BARZ BARZ DISS TRACK WHOOP

MaoDaMighty responds:

BrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrAo!

[Fighter]

SHIT bro DEM SCHEMES.

[(7) MC-OG vs (2) Braidz]

MC OG is pretty great, don't get me wrong, but Braidz took this for me. He just felt more dominant, more confident, better flow better lyrics generally.

[(7) Butsaay vs (2) JS]

Lol Justin Simon's second verse went pretty much full retard. Butsaay won hard.

[(4) Wyze vs (5) Bliss]

Wyze went HARD.

[(1) WS vs (8) Paradox]

I really like Spawn, but I give this to Paradox. Just made me laugh, came more personal.

[(7) Fat Beats vs (2) RJA]

Given Beats is my homie, but Rich was massively lazy, over-defensive and filler filled. Real talk, I dig Rich in most of his battles, but in this his trademark drawling arrogant swag came across completely unjustified and hollow. Birth certificate was a sick punch though, piercing kinda hit. The funny part is that most of Rich's shit was aimed at FB never getting listened and a FB track is one of the four featured, erm, most listened tracks on the website which is pretty shitty research.

Now to ragging on Beats- the vocal was rendered way worse than it should have been due to bad EQing, just some soft bass reduction could've gone a long way, especially against someone with a voice and a mic like Rich's. I felt like although Beats had hella sick punches, he emphasised the wrong ones, ending the first verse on filler and all that. A few too many single syllable rhymes for my tastes, although to be fair he had a few hella fly schemes, soo it doesn't come off too bad.

Give it to Beats, he ragged on Rich harder, more accurately and without coming across a knob cheese and without having so many cringe moments as Rich (when he rhymed gimmick, aka the most rhymable word ever created with idiot, I died a little inside. Tied with "is she a disease or an STD" cringe predominated through Rich's verses).

Highlights:
- "I listened to your first EP it was terrible/ after that it all kinda went downhill"
- "Leave you with carpol tunnel syndrome if you make it the whole beat"
- "Yeah I'm the muscle stretcher and I'm mad flexing on you"
