The listing says that the submissions will be screened, but the number suggests otherwise. They owe you a critique -- have you checked your submission history on your Taxi page? That's where it would be.Congrats on the forward!!!!!!

TAXI #Y080808HHIf this was a "critiqued" listing and you didn't get a critique, by all means contact Taxi to let them know. Most times it's the culmanation of several critiques that gives us insight into what's working and what isn't but sometimes a single critique can point something out that makes the difference.Congratulations on the forward!Dave

Thanks byrd!!! I already did I think they had some kind of mix up I was told listings that begin with an Y doesn't get critiqued I didn't know that until today but I went by what I read. Hold on is my grammar right? is Y a vowel or a constant? lol

TAXI #Y080808HHEven though it says it will be screened by Taxi it has a Yes/No ID # (Y080808HH). It begins with a "Y" and not an "S". Still, probably best to call Taxi and clear it up.

Hey Reggie,Congrats on the forward....I'm gonna try give it a critique from my end, but listening through a crappy earphone at work, so can't give critique on mix etc....Beginning kinda reminds me of theme to Rocky for some reason - it's got that upbeat Victorious kinda vibe. I'm not 100% keen on the brass ensemble sound (bearing in mind it's a crapy earphone), love the drum beat.Hope you get a nice little contract on this one.Take CareB

sounds good. Congratulations on the forward. I wouldn't mull over it too much since it did get forwarded. The drums sound great. You could switch out some of the other instruments for different synths or samples, but a lot of times in hip-hop you're going for a $10 toy keyboard vibe over some fat drums so I wouldn't mess with it. You may want to add a couple of little variations or little surprise sounds somewhere in there as it gets a bit repetitive especially since there are no lyrics, but since you had some success with it you might just want to leave it alone.Thanks for sharingPeace!
