bad instrument selection
First ill focus on the mixing. This is hip hop and the drums are tinny and dry not good you need to make them fuller sonically. Secondly the instruments are not reminicent of hip hop at all. They might be reminicent of electro but the rythm is uninspired sounding and has no real hook.
I'm not really sure what this song is trying to be. It's uber experimental and has electro feelings at some points and an extreme industrial lean. Now hip-hop does have a lot of electro in it nowadays but this song just doesnt feel like hop hop or rap to me.
It's like what would happen if Tiesto was 10 and he tried to make rap using his trance instruments
i mean rap never uses delay EVER and it rarely and i mean SUPER rarely ever uses phasers. Rap and hip hop majorly sample other songs to create a sound thats funky.
and the worst thing of all is i hear no bass whatsoever. all the synths come in seperately and when they do play together they dont fit together to make a cohesive whole they sound bad by themselves adn they sound worse together.
I apologize for ripping apart this track but its just extremely unappealing
