I was feelin Chopin' Block. The rest need a little work. Like the others were saying layering is the key. I say keep on layering until you can't layer any more, and then began to take things away. That's what I used to do, still do matter of fact. Also you might want to try to structure your beatz, like 8 bar intro, 8 bar hook, 16 bar verse. That way they're ready for use. Also try transition sounds or drum patterns, when going between diffrent sequences. One more thing I suggest. Try picturing an MC when you make your beatz too. Like say you envision J on this one, Luda on this one, or Snoop on this one...Definately keep at it though. The more you make the better you'll get.
