Ho! Ho! Ho! Christmas is on it's way.
So for those beatmakers in the holiday spirit, we got a contest for you.

Make a beat composed from sampling holiday songs.
The whole track, drums and all, got to come from Christmas joints.

Post your beat, and let us know the samples from where you got them.
Submit by Sunday, December 22nd.

Happy Holidays!

I was thinking the same thing this morning! Good idea.
If there's a good turnout I'll put it up as an album at spbattalion.bandcamp.com. "A Very SP Christmas" or something like that..

It's all gotta come from samples off holiday records.
It can come from more than one song, but they all gotta be Christmas joints.

Managed to find some snare rolls and a small break covered in electric guitar haha. I'll be stretching pretty hard to get a beat going with these three 45s.
Good to push yourself though.

Christmas in Hollis! Truth be told, that is one of the first rap songs that I had on tape. It was my mother's tape actually. I would steal it and listen to that song over and over. I didn't know a thing about Hip Hop music other than that I loved it. I just looked up the track list.
