Hi!
I hope to get some feedback here :)

The track was completely produced in ModPlug Tracker 1.16.
I used one of the standard plugins from MPT besides the massive sampling.

Notes as i'm listening:

While i generally have an aversion to rap and hiphop and its many variants, this is more like Acid Hiphop, to coin a new genre. Quick dance beat like Acid Trance, plus a rap line, plus a menagerie of sample snippets. The tracking technique is very good and inventive, with an innovative treatment of sample splicing and song design. It's interesting, toe-tapping, and, well..uplifting. I found myself seeing i could identify any of the samples -- i heard a line or two from Ghostbusters, a video game or two, an anime song too?....
My next question is: who's doing the rap? It almost sounds like Wil Smith but the treatment reminds me of De La Soul, but i can't believe the composer would rip so many lines from a commercial rap song.

Anyway, excellent technique and very good track. If i was into hiphop, i could hear this on an alternative rap CD.

Thank you!
The rap is from Public Enemy - Bring The Noise (great tune!). I'm not that much into rap/hiphop either but it's fun to work with that genre. You are right with the guessing, there's at least one game and quite a few anime samples in it - I don't remember the exact sources though - i should start to name my samples a bit more significant. :)
