Rebel Alliance

Hey guys, I've made this song with a friend from Canada. I'm not really sharing this for the audio part but rather for the video. As you may notice, the song refers to Stars Wars in plenty of ways, and I've made the lyrics video like that as well. I spent a lot of time on rotoscoping and making Big L as a Star Wars Force Spirit (his voice is sampled for the chorus so that's why he's included). I'm interested if you'll like how the effect turned out. I made the beat as well, though I'm not very experienced with producing. It samples a Britney song but I think it turned out very Hip-Hopish, lol. Here's the link:

The samples seem out of place and don't really go with the flow of the song, plus they sound kind of off beat.

I added them when I made the beat, but the subject matter went into another direction when the actual song got made. As for the timing, I think they're fine but thanks for the input regardless.

It's not really the subject matter, you just had the verse, then an awkward pause, then the first sample, then another awkward pause and then the second sample. Then you just go right into the other verse. It feels incomplete. You have nothing bringing things together and it causes a real lack of cohesiveness.

Yeah, in the beginning of the song, that first Big L sample was more or less on time, the second one was lagging, I think. Then the Wu-Tang sample in the beginning of the verse is sort of disruptive. Maybe it just lasts a bar too long, or something, but it seems to throw it off.

The beat itself isn't too bad though, other than that. Then the video is pretty good too.

Thanks for the feedback guys, it's appreciated! Honestly, I thought/still think everything is fine with the structure but it's good to hear different opinions, and it can help me for the future.

Edit: Maybe it'd be better if there was some scratching included, but I don't know how to do that, otherwise I would have.
