E-hop - comments wanted

Hi

It's hard to comment on Hip Hop without a vocalist - any music in Hip Hop is very much background alot of the time.
I think this is very good with some very clever programming. I really would love to hear some vocals! The general rhythm is quite 'typical' to classic hiphop - i would be swayed to say that this is not a 'modern hip hop' sound.

Enough parts to keep interest?
Well - i think there's defo enough room for a vocal - but as an instrumental then perhaps it could do with a pad or two.

Reverb Levels:
Sounds really good to me! Things appear close up and far away nicely. (envious stare)

EQ:
Sounds really nice. I have no faults - other than a very low kinda 808 boom that comes in late on - it has some tuning to it which to me sounded like it was clashing with something. But i'm nit-picking.

Nice work.

Thanks, I will look at the kick and reverb on the snare.

To be honest, I wanted the kick to hit a bit harder, and maybe a bit higher, but was never able to really get it the way I wanted with EQ, it kept clipping.  Maybe I need to turn the whole thing down and try again.

Also a lot of the really clever programming was done with the new stutter from Izotope, I'm really loving that.
