Keep in mind the rules this week, particularly one and six. Trying something new out this week with two votes per person - voting open to all members/readers/listeners of SP-Forums. Suggested criteria being one "straight dope" vote and one "creativity-within-the-rule-set" vote.
Feedback is always nice, but not necessary...
But do post your vote, stating who you voted for!
(NB. It's a 2 Day Poll unless any serious objections raised)
Thanks LIF for a nice round with inspiring rules. I really wanted to take part and had the samples all loaded in my SP, but just haven't found time for anything.
Anyway, nice to hear all the entries. I like the idea of multiple submissions and I thought both Ellaguru and ArizonaAl delivered really nice beats in their second comings.
My vote for dopest beat goes to Shub, both headnodding and keeping my interest with varied fx etc. My rainbow winner is LIF, crazily vibrant with firework-samples.
Yung Tamagotchi:Ecstatic forward momentum and has the thump i wish i could get out my 808. Sweet use of acapell, just right... selfie-sample haha!
Ella One:Ohh nasty-queasy... dig the prod but wobbly synths turned me green.
Ella Two:Way lighter - like my third vodka in the sun. Love the thump and that thick chasm of digital silence in the loop just cuts, like a knife thru a cherry.
4rizona4l One:Getting sucked into the vortex-void by sheer epicness - this one simply cannot be played loud enough Link Wray is bumping to this somewhere out there.
PARKER JORDAN:My beer goggles have fogged up and I just stubbed out a cigg on my jeans again
4rizona 4l Two: Yo! Cranked! Surging. Like breakdancing in free-fall.
shub:This one. Chops everywhere, drums are sick, sample chops and juggles are sick, sick comp. spits in the face of the challenge of such diffrent source-samples.
MarcoGrouch:Saban thanks you for the homage - great respekt to the source-samp. The kick is perfect, just that snare cuts through the mix jus too present/loud. As a flip this is the shit.
The vote-spread so far is no surprise to me at all - too much all-round goodness and I'm crazy-trying to pick... my two favs are actually the desertman's two entries, but if I go with my own criteria I can't but give 4rizona One the bump-voteand one toshub for thepaint-bomb.

Thanks for digging my stuff, thanks to all for paticipating. thanx to Lif for these samples. Was a difficult thing to find interesting combinations. Thanx to my SD-card that it contained some samples of my bass guitar notes))) As for the poll. I find much decent sp handling but not so much beats catched my ear. I really liked only one in general - first vote goes to arizona al II. My type of hiphop, rarely love acapella using but that was the lucky one. I carefully listened to other beats several times. Lif made a good beat paintfullywise(and also really good rhytmic interesting picture, I wish I develop this skill more) but I really have to give second vote to ellaguru stuff(first flip). Cooling beat, it has real russian suburb winter atmosphere and a good mix. A am not sure about quantity of sample slices but i like beat more then others due to mix, melodies and blizzardy atmosphere.

Seriously, maximum respect everyone, great battle, great comments... nice that you chimed in janglesoul..!! Search and rescue has been engaged for Yung Tamagotchi who was last seen wolfing an entire chocolate cake --->we're praying for you man!
Props to everyone for a colourful week! Here's to the next round...
Just an update from our man shub: he'll be celebrating his battle-victory with new samples/battle #184 just as soon as he's finished celebrating hisGRADUATION!!!
Thanx...But its a little early, I am defending my diploma movie soundwork by 24 of july. But the worst(exams and stuff) is all behind. I am gathering up some samples from my vinyl rips, my acoustic drums tape recordings(maybe) and maybe some from music collection, I hope i post them in 1-3 days.
