This was quite a challenge for me, given that I don't listen to hiphop at all. I also decided to try something new and I made all of my percussion samples from scratch (started with a straight 440Hz wave and modified it until I got the right sound).
My intention was to make something that sounds like it could easily be rapper over, given the theme. While I quite like both the other entries, to my ears, they didn't sound like something that would work as well with a rapper.
I would really appreciate any crits that you may have. Especially about the the bassline (or anything, really) because I'm not sure it sounds super hiphop-y, and I think it may take away from the rest of the song.

I'd like to improve, and there seem to be some pretty music savvy people here, so I figured I could get some crits.
