Amazing battle! Dope flips all around. Pootie Tang is not on the poll because he didn't use an SP. Here's his link, though - http://www.mediafire.com/listen/9xyp1pa ... ething.mp3

Yo yo doppppe battle!! So much good stuff I absolutely dont want to vote (but I will):

Es-K: mad mad bass and mad swing!!
Pader: so minimal and so good!! you make so much out of a few samples!
Wolfe: the delays on the vocals, the atmosphere, a poem!!
tire: damn, live drumming and a free flowing form!!
timmy: the intro reminds me of metroid for the NES, the bass is MAD and ducks it all away!! Awesome job, so varied, two in one!!
CHICKA: out theeeeere but waaay too short bro! the chilling just starts and then its over!!
gis_sweden: a true composition, great drums and use of FX!! this thing tells a story!!
gnmz: sick flips, sick sampling and sick sound!! too short!!
chopperman: whats those drums?! sounds like a djembe? damn good mix and awesome progression!! a secret agent!
grand: wow, these drums have a groove man!! also real nice space between everything! awesome to relax!
runme: too raw for words!! holy shite! fucking dope.
grokto: old school like a boombox on a street corner!! made for the ghetto.
selftaught: yo, that sub bass drops like a hammer!! minimalism at its best!!

cheers guys... I cant decide at all... my vote is between chopperman for the dope underground secret feel, timmytoga for the awesome progressions/transitions and the raw lofi feel and gis_sweden for the captured soundscape!! ill keep it secret though. good job everyone looking forward to the next!!

Hey SP fam!

sooo many good beats, EVERY beat was sick, i thank yall for for making music and keeping me inspired on the SP guys (:

i gotta go for Runme, soo ill, i have lost count how many times i've listened to it this week haha!

Es-K - great swinging bass drums and use of fx :: PADER - Mysteriuos personal beat with character :: WolfeCuts - Neat beat works well :: tiredoriots - music for a crime series. Voices and music melts together nice :: timmytoga - Part one) I like this kind of loose playful beat. Part two) Cool under water sound... :: jarills - SP fun. SPlendid... :: CHICKADEE - Hard to resist a stumbling beat like this :: gnmz - Back in sound collage style and I like that :: Chopperman - Works fine. Well balanced. :: Grandpakyre - A soft afternoon beat :: Runme Raw - Wahhaaaow overwhelming :: Groktopus - Smooooth :: selftaught astronaut - Great beat made with well selected elements

All submissions are inspirational and great but I have to choose one... I choose guess who

Listening to these, I couldn't believe that I co-hosted this battle. I'll never forget this one. I'm tempted to ask if you guys want to make another SP Battalion bandcamp album out of it, but I'm afraid it might be too much dopeness for one tape.
Es-K - Right and exact! Rock solid piece. Dusty gold!
Pader - That's how to use the looper FX!!! It seemed to make sense everytime. The vocals sound very dope and also funny in a great way.
WolfeCuts - Raw! More examples of proper loopering. Aesop's rhymes work great in this dreambeat.
Tiredoriots - Really cool how the drums and bass bounce around. Its clumsily graceful or something; drunken master style. I like the sample choices.
Timmy - I appreciate that you have your own style, and in no way let it confine you. You have a way with drums, my man!
Jarills - Real dope Mobb Deep remix!! I hadn't heard that one in a long while. I think I like this better than the original! Truly great from start to finish.
Chickadee - Incredible. I think you've outdone yourself with this one. I'm loving all these remixes.
Gis_Sweden - It seems like your creations are getting better all the time! This one feels very good.
Gnmz - So raw! I dig those panning hats BIG TIME!! The intro, the outro, and everything in between sounds good to me.
Kananga - Proper. So proper. I don't hear any flaws here. Good call on those samples about illusions.
Runme Raw - BUMBACLOT! Amazing. I can't imagine what you go through when making something like this, but I bet its quite an experience.
Groktopus - Yes. I've been a fan of Dudley P for years. Dude's music really helped me through some dark times. I actually did a remix of this one, something like 5 years ago. I might try to post that up this weekend. That bass line is righteous. The whole thing is.
Mr. Astronaut - Very nice. Its cool, the way it kinda throws the listener off then grabs them back on.
Pootie Tang - Get that non-SP stuff out of here! Just kidding. Beautiful piece, homie. Sa da tay.
As far as voting goes, I feel torn between most of them. I'm going with my favorite Swede.

I do have a lovely djembe, but that's not where I got those. The (compressed) snare and hat are from this wonderful drum solo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ziQkWyIwo4 and the kick is from this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SODrEiAvxa4

Ok I gave each track another individual listen, allow me:

I put asterisks * in front of my favs

Es-K - Ok this is dope, the drums are beauteous, it's got bounce, and the use of samples was creative. I see you. Also gets first submission bonus points :]

Pader - Again, drums sound great, I like where you caught the loop. The progression of the loop also sounds right. Dope one bruh

WolfeCuts - Appreciate the accapella. I like the clap, and the simplicity of the loop works in it's favor. (unlike mine which in retrospect was a lil too all over the place. lol)

tiredoriots - Flipped the harder sample, and dope crash, freal. I feels it.

timmytoga - It's hard for me to settle on a beat so I normally just have to upload the first one I complete. In retrospect, I would liked to have made it less all over the place. I was experimenting with the 99 bars trick, so I did each individual element at a time. I would do it differently now.

*Jarills - Ok bro you killed this one. Damn, these chops on the horns and everything are dope and the drums sound great. It just sounds full and well EQed or something. I need to get on my EQ game or something lol. One of favs for sure bruh

*Chickadee - OK coming with the dirty tapes style, I'm about this beat. That pitch shit is dope and the drums sound great. Great flip. And the length is good too.

gis_sweden - I appreciate this style. These sounds are creative and fastastic. I have no idea how you did any of that. Lol. Those drums sound great too. This is some glitchy ambient beauteous nonsense right here. I'm about this. I could probably zone out to this for like an hour lol

*gmnz - DAMN i missed this one somehow. Holy shit. I don't recall ever hearing this loop. You're mad creative bro. I'm a little jealous you got this loop. Could have def been longer! omggg

Chopperman - Remix of a dope acapella. The way you strung together this loop is dope as hell man. Actually this really grew on me. It goes well with doom. I like the change up in the melody. And bonus points for the text-to-speech computer woman sp-forum shout out!!

Grandpakyre - LOL@ the michael cera vocal. Props for that lolll... Dope chops and I dig the vocal samples a lot. Choice vocals for sure. Good drums too. "I was going to smoke the marijuana like a cigarette..." LOLLLL

*RunmeRaw - AHHHHHH MY BRAIN DOPENESS OVERLOAD. I think we have a winnar. DUDE this loop what the fuck. I love you. Thank you for this. Drums are STUPID. Loop is STUPID. Vocals are STUPID. Overall, this is the dopest thing I've heard all month. Lots of change ups too man. I think you might have ADD.

Groktopus - I like that we both did the delay on the piano shit. Sounds dope. Nice drums. Great accapella too. Also synced it up real nicely. The part at 1:05 is so dope, the way the drums sit with the sample and the rap. (check that part out and tell me you hear what i'm talking about) dope

selftaught astronaut - I'm about these drums, I'm about that bass, I'm about those chops. Actually that bass not kills it. Dope shit bro. Your drum programming is great. Good wun

I voted for runme raw, as I felt his was the hypest

So many good submissions on this one. I learned a shit load (as I always do) doing this battle. I'm always so psyched on them, I wish there were more because I complete one, and then have to wait like 3 weeks to do another one. Which sucks haha.

I hope the winner introduces some funky/ interesting rules on the next battle. Peace yall

We could do another "resample challenge" like this one - http://sp-forums.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=13901
We never voted on it, so next week I'll make a poll for it and if the winner still frequents the forums, they can set up the next resample challenge. It could be a side battle with minimal sample choices.

... or bizarre rules, or whatever...

The only tracks that have been taken off soundcloud are mine, Kel's and Lazer's, so I'll try to find mine and re-upload it and message K and L about it.
