Go back and listen to your old shit - like your first couple of songs/beats. I found a couple of old beat tapes that I had from like 99 and earlier and the shit I had on there had me rollin. Something to do if you like to laugh at yourself. You might find some gems too. :lick:

i do that time and time again... MY songs (from 99-2000) were weak as shit with a few exceptions... for the most part, the raps were tight but the overall songs sound shitty and were terribly produced... i feel like getting rid of every copy of that i have and never acknowledge them ever again... but i listen to my cousins shit from 95-2000 and those are still tight as hell

If you really think about it, a lot of the beats we're hearing nowadays in the mainstream from the newer "producers" are basically the best of their first batch of beats ever.

When I was listening to some of my older shit, it was making me feel like I was ahead of my time or something because some of my older tracks from 5+ years ago sound like they would work in the mainstream RIGHT NOW.

The quality of a lot of the mainstream hip hop music has taken a step backwards because you got these new cats who get on early in their producing career without having the proper time to learn how to put a track together - but it's acceptable now.

well peete

the thing about new producers and engineers, is they don't know the rules, so they can make new ones...
i remember back in 99 me doin my backup vocals in a higher pitched voice(not killa tay style), and i still do it to this day, and back then cats was like, that sounds funny, now everyone is like, wow that sounds hot...

and my beats back then, shit i hate my beats, but i play them for cats and get offers all day long
one of my least favorite beats i've made from way back, got picked to be on my group album, cus everyone wantd to hear it, now with the snippets, cats go nuts over that beat, and i meet cats i don't know who got the bootleg and say it's one of their favorite songs

lol i'm a try and get some of my 2 track demo shit on here
