I have shit speakers so here is my 2 cents: (edit:I'm getting barely any bass out of my speaks so a lot of what I said is inconclusive until I hear on something better)
Alloy 1-Little slow. Speed it up. Where's the bass? Are my speakers that shitty?
Alloy 2-Tight beat. This is what id call a break-beat. Its different than a hip hop beat. Hip Hot beats tend to have the pattern of beat/Chorus/beat/chorus. I don't flow, but it wouldn't be easy to rhyme over this beat and sound tight at the same time.
Im to lazy to make my own stuff. I have such a wide variety to choose from that there is never a lack of new material for me to get and the fact all music is digital my wax is collecting dust in my closet. Not bad at all for the amount of time you have been learning/adapting. The fact your a rock drummer trying to make dark hip hop beats with little experience or knowledge of the difference between rap and hip hop your on the right path and have a lot of potential. It will only get better if you expand your mind and listen to some Hip hop that is already out there, not the radio shit, Underground.
The style of your beats if I had to compare to something it would be Kool Keith/ Dr Octagon same guy. He makes electronica hip hop futuristic beats work and changes his name every CD he puts out. Download the song "Blue Flowers" by Dr, Octagon.
