The idea was to take the busy sample elements and turn the aggression up a notch with the flip. Three elements stood out: 

1. The robotic voice around the 3s mark - Converted that into the lead treble section with echoes, and pitch-shifted it to fit the bassline.
2. The one high note right at the 4s mark - Morphed it with saturation and some frequency shifting, spreading it sparingly across bars.
3. The note before the high note at the end of the 3s mark - Added an arpeggiator onto it, gave it some saturation + reverb, and made it a secondary noise element to the beat, a lower in priority to the robotic voice sample.

Got my frequent collaborator and flatmate and friend GuruSuru to rap on it. With the sample, we took an aggressive Kanye/Death Grips sort of angle. If we'd have to give this a genre, perhaps "aggressive hip-hop" might be apt. 

Looking forward to developing this into a full-fledged track. Thanks for the sample! Hope you enjoy it :)

Lyrics:
Bring my time back or just lay the fuck back
Girl stay in one place and lemme do my thing
I don’t have all day for this motherfucking foreplay
I won’t sit around for no motherfucking coldplay

If you want time yeah you’re fresh outta luck
I can’t say it two times cuz I’m fresh outta fucks
Gimme Gimme all your love make it quick and snappy
Thats just 101 if you want a sugar daddy

How to make me happy is a goddamn masterclass
If I wanna play you won’t ever see me out of gas
When I chase the bag don’t look don’t look through the glass
I won’t be the same man I wont be your main man

I’m going fucking all out on this dream of domination
It ain’t called pipe dreams if I got a batch cooking
I can’t pause in between wanna die looking clean
Like a man so supreme that he died with no dreams

I might go off grid just to get my head straight
Bet your tight fucking ass I’ll be coming back great
Yeah the guy who does my fade knows all about my trade
But the banks that got my money don’t know how I get paid

I just try to stay in places where the cash feels natural
Don’t get in my head cuz I’d rather not be practical
You don’t want this way of life it’s rather diabolical
Wanna be an oddity then welcome to my parable

I’ve been off the fun shit
Never wanted off of it
Chose a destination
Bet it’s filled with Asians 
Used to take molly with my fucking coffee
Now I feel sorry for the whole party
Show everybody what you can’t copy
Not another man in a baron’s lobby
Can’t be too early when you’re chasing glory
You choose the burdens that you will carry

Fucking all out on this dream of domination
It ain’t called pipe dreams if I got a batch cooking
I can’t pause in between wanna die looking clean
Like a
