Taking the A-Train (DJ Premier style)

[GBREAL]

Simple 5 second loop turns to a 2 minute track.

Nice beat right here, my dude.

I thought the beat was kind of commercially cookie cutter.

But, how did you come up with the visual? That spinning record looked sick!

Not sure what "commercially cookie cutter" means but I got the video loop from here (see link).

Not sure what "commercially cookie cutter" means

Cookie cutter: Marked by sameness and a lack of originality; mass-produced. Predictable, Recycled, Not unique.

From the start, the beat is labeled as an unoriginality, by attaching someone else more established to give intrigue to it.
At its core, it was created in the likeness of something else. Templated off the design characteristics of another. Not of its own identity.

Morely, it is generated probably off mass distributed, pre-made drum packages. It's a standard 2 bar repeating loop, lacking creativity.
My guess, composed by software, probalby illegally downloaded.

You could attach any kid's name to it that is pan handling regurgitated sound for a shilling after reading a get rich off beats scheme, minimizing the worth by nickel and diming a large number with minimal quality over and over.

All this in utter opinion of my own. Not meant to bash, but simply put in response to your query of asking why your stuff is cookie cutter.


Could all be remedied by taking time to do you, and not mimic someone else's sound or following a trend. But finding your style and crafting something unique to you. Mastering your art with your own touch.
