We don’t need anymore people calling themselves rappers that do that Whiny sing stuff with auto tune . I swear every single person sounds like this . Every one. It’s amazing that auto tune is worst now than when t pain was popping. Also why does everyone think they can sing? Is this Drakes fault? Ja rule had his career ended over this by 50 but now it’s cool?
Boom - 5ive Points EP
1.Control
2. Yea
3.Hot
4. Juice
5. Hustle All Day
Nice ideasell them as songs to the managers/A&R's of todays pop/trap stars.
as they sound like great demo's/guides for other artists.
Track one needs a baseline to drop near the front
Track three has me cringe with every nigga and bitch reference (old ears)
Track four could be a nice celebratory song. It needs a little rework.
I will give it another listen
Nice work.
Just being honest or should I say in my own personal opinion all the songs sound alike.
All of the vocals are autotuned, echoed and reverbed as well as other overdubbed electronic filterings music wise.
I'm heavily into Rap music but when it comes to "Trap music" I can only bear to listen to it for about 5 to 10 seconds before changing stations.
The songs are trite, redundant and trendy. There is no originality in this genre of music like the artist and or music groups of the 60's, 70's, 80's and some of the 90's.
Those are the decades that in order to get a record deal the artist lyrical material and arrangements had to be catchy, different and original.
Never the less, I will say that out of the 5 songs number 3 sounded the best in my opinion.
3 & 5 weren't too bad, but please, lose the autotune! Lyrically on those 2 songs, dude's not too bad. It's not my thing, but I can hear the potential. The first rack sounds like something you'd hear in a Russian strip club.
Like I said before, you can clearly hear the talent.I’m say this about the selections
This my lil brother music, he’s super talented....
These tracks are a small sample of his skill set but you know some folks are smart but too smart.
I thing the folks he’s deals with thinks this the route to go....
I got about 300 old songs on my computer that’s on a different level than this. I let a dude at work listen to a Cutris Blow remake, dude said man dude sounds like he got Kendrick Lamar/ J. Cole talent. I said yea he’s talented.
Hard pass.
Not my type of music, but I listened to the 1st track and it very well composed and mixed. I’m not sure people even do mixing anymore as it a lost art. Some of the greatest records in The world are trash because of poor mixing.

Quoting u again just to say your post about the current soundvs the yester years is spot on.
I’ll say this tho, these tracks are a small sample of the range this dude can cover.
My message as was why go up the mountain on that side(trying to clean out a route, when every one else is doing the same), when u can go up the other side where there’s way less traffic and still reach the same spot.
Meaning Ur not feeling them?
I hear ya on that man.
Also,
I'd like to make an apology of sort for making an assessment or criticism without listening to each song in it's entirety if not that then at least for a minute..
I was offset by the autotune and only listened to 5 to 10 seconds of each song and presumed that all the songs where the same. But they are not the same and as I've stated I like song #3 "Hot" and now that I've took time to listen longer, I like #5 "Hustle All Day", It is without a doubt that your brother is talented.
There's definitely a lot of talent there.
I suggest whoever wrote the the songs needs to incorporate a 'Bridge" in the them
It's missing from all of the songs and a vital, classic part of song writing that completes it.
Lastly, they shouldn't be afraid to step OUTSIDE the box. No need to follow what's popular
make your own lane, & own sound....experiment not assimilate

At all. Sounds like every other computer-generated "music." Yuck.
Listen, I'm not telling anybody what to like or listen to. An opinion was asked and I gave mine.
Yuck lmao, I hear ya, it’s always great we all are able to have our choices....
but yea I asked members to give insight
I think you'll find my opinion in the minority. And that's because I grew up playing an instrument and listening to live instruments and records of live instruments and NO autotune.
It's my opinion that people these days have been listening to that electronic junk for so long they no longer possess the ability to differentiate between real instruments and vocals.
But. it ain't my money so they can spend it on whatever they want.
As soon as I heard the autotune, I knew what I was going to be in for. I'll pass on this one.
