xenosaga 2 - Vector Industries Second Division

nothing special as far as effects go - added some claps and some snares with some kicks

 

Original:

 

[The Nikanoru]

This is nice; I like the extra effects and the extra percussion does add a certain something to this, but it still has been built almost completely off the source material. It just doesn't sound very hip-hop-y to me, sorry.

If you were to rework the original melody and harmonies a bit to make them a bit more bouncy or create a few loop effects , it might sound a little more like something you could rap to. 

Cliché, I know, but I'm not much of a hip-hop guy. Someone like Smooth4lyfe might have some better advice for you on how to make this sound a little more like hip-hop.
