Okay, "HipHop Made in 60 Minutes" – that's a bold title, and in some ways, the track lives up to it. There's a raw, immediate energy here that's definitely appealing. The initial impression is one of a deliberately lo-fi, almost boom-bap aesthetic, with that simple, driving bassline and the slightly detuned, jazzy keyboard riff. It’s a head-nodder for sure.
Compositionally, it's quite minimalist. The core loop is catchy, but there could be a bit more development throughout the track. There are some subtle variations, like the occasional drum fill and brief melodic shifts, but it feels a touch static for longer-form use. Perhaps introducing a contrasting B-section or a breakdown could add more dynamism.
The sound design is deliberately raw, which is a stylistic choice I can respect. The mix is relatively balanced, although the kick could maybe use a bit more punch to cut through, especially in a busy media context. I can hear it, but the snap isn't fully there. The overall vibe is intimate, slightly gritty. This sound makes you feel like you are listening to someone make a beat in their bedroom.
Emotionally, the track has a cool, slightly detached vibe. It's not overly emotional, but it has a certain understated groove that works well. I can see this working in urban scenes, background music for vlogs, or even some minimalist advertising. It's not going to be a cinematic masterpiece, but it has a place.
Compared to industry-standard production music, it falls a bit short in terms of overall polish and variation. However, it's got a charm that a lot of overly-polished library music lacks. I'd say with a bit more arrangement work and some subtle mixing tweaks, it could be elevated to a more versatile, professional level. There's potential for it to be used in media, but some changes should be made. The track is quite repetitive, which limits it's usability. It's good, but it's not yet ready for use. It needs more variation.
