If it's up to me, I'd say, yes it's over and Culprit won.

I would have expected some more votes than 14 though.

i thought it was up to you. who's it up to?

Nah, sorry that's not quite what I meant. If everyone agrees, we can call this one done and start the new one now.

As there hasn't changed anything over the last two or three days in the votes, I'd say Culprit should find some samples so we can start the next battle.

Nice work Culprit

congrats Culprit! samples pleeeez

well, lets rock. im just all amped up to join my first battle. i thik i got the hang of my 555 and im ready to make beats.
culprit lets go!!!!

really with only 14 votes....? ok
werd thanks

ok i'll put the samples up tonight by 5pm ish gotta go find a job

wrd DIBS get at me!! muahahaha

PS props to everyone for throwing down (I personally was all about kel, dp, ormo
but yo), everyone's beats were beastly!
!!

PS whats the criteria for the next beat samples??

oops oops

culpy left em leakin

I'm not sure because now people are using vocal snippets and laser sounds that weren't part of the posted samples. Are we using outside bass and sfx on all the battles now?

No, I think now is a good time to go back to the old rules, as the Open Challenges were meant to be 'free for all' and do whatever you like as long as you stick to the rules given by the winner.

The SP Battles however were not.

So.. basically, the rules would be 2 samples, usually one with drums inside or a separate drumbreak and no outside ish. SP gear only.

(check the Rules thread in the Arena forums area)

For more free form battles, we are going to do Open Challenges again, for which ideally we need Dibia$e (or someone else if he decides so) to pick some new samples (he won there too).

mannnn i wish the coin toss went to ormo now cause then it would have been a huge tie and we ALL woulda got free records MUAHAHA. congrats my friend.

That woulda been hella funny, but I'm sure Dibiase works a normal job and can't afford that many people in the pockets for free records, but 1 record is good promo.

I would gladly pay money for physical coppies of albums from many people on here.

I never planned on retiring from beat money and I have a regular job but it's like nobody wants to pay for music anymore. even at shows I end up giving away more CDs and tapes than I sell. but I feel like I just want people to have my stuff; pay or not.

not tryna spark the downloading vs paying debate.

allright

damn i wanted that 10" yo dibiase post a link when its available so we can order a copy! good work culprit, cant wait for the next battle to get goin
