But in theory sample should be in sync with bpm

That is abc

i sped it up to match the metronome better, next time i'll try to make something from scratch or from some simple loop, rn im reaching too far without ever having touched music before

Its like you either make music for fun or you go out and perform, sadly everything else is so over saturated it's sad. Golden age is long gone.

Keep it up and stay away from 'trap' drake and in general with a word in a sentence beat'. You can try like electronic category

Like not even trying to plug, but my last two songs I'm afraid to even post out on spotify because even though theyre royalty free samples, they pop up on a Google sound search. I get I didn't do much, but there isn't really anything else you can do to the samples without losing their entire point of being a sample.

i guess i'll experiment with different styles and see which one turns out the best, thanks for the advice too, i didnt think much about it before

Make whatever you think sounds good honestly. I just get nitpicky when it comes to sounding like others, but I find when I sample my creative flow is much better, but I sacrifice the possibility of butting heads with guys with similar ideas.

Also you don't need to be specialized in a genres or sub genre. You need to know 1. music theory 2. Mixing and mastering 3. A 3rd sense for right notes . Once you possess that you rule them all. 3 rings of power
