It's windy, so this is fitting. A hip hop beat I wrote today...

Blown by the wind

Another beat... Maybe good for freestyling...

Rolling Stone

Beat the bitch

Came across this one today... Definitely needs a rap. Needs to be wrapped up. It needs to be wrapped. It needs a rapper. A wrapper.  A fucking marathon rapper, with hard hitting bars....

This was my first attempt at making a beat using Ableton Live. Unfortunately, after I exported a .wav file, somehow the working file became totally blank. I don't know how it happened - The file was still there, but there was nothing in it at all. Luckily the .wav file exported alright, so I have something at least, but no working file, which really sucks because I hadn't mixed it all the way yet, nor had I EQ'ed it completely. 
Ironically, there is a sample in the beat that says "this tape will self-destruct in 5 seconds," and that's exactly what it did. 
So here it is in it's raw, unfinished, unmixed glory: The beat That Self-Destructed.

The Beat That Self-Destructed

A piano piece. (Well, FL Studio's version of a piano.) The initial melody was written by my uncle Sam Houston when I was a kid - I remembered it and started playing with it, and eventually it became this. The piano sounds in FL Studio leave something to be desired, but it's still fun.

I asked my wife to describe it and she said this: 

"I don't know how to describe it, but I can tell you what it makes me see: Well, what I see is some guy and it's like 70's and there's a black guy with dark sunglasses on, and he's got really short hair and he's singing into a really old microphone, you know, with the lines, and there's black gogo dancers dancing around him."
