THANK YOU ALL FOR SHOWING UP TO THIS FAMILY AFFAIR (RIP SLY THE GOAT)

OLD SACRED BONDS WERE RENEWED :mrgreen: , NEW RIVALRIES EMERGED :twisted: , BUT WHO BEST CAPTURED THE ESSENCE OF OUR SPFAMILIA???

MY OWN VOTES WENT TO KWWUNDO FOR HIS EXTREMELY SPEEDY, EFFICIENT, AND EFFECTIVE USE OF THE 4:04 TIME LIMIT AND FAMILY EVENT FOR THE INFINITE REPLAY VALUE OF THOSE HEATERS <3 <3

I don't understand anything anymore.

I didn't vote for anyone. Even if there were parts of the "tunes" I liked, guys, there's just no need to purposefully make things sound so lo-fi. Even if you're just using a 202 on its own it doesn't need to sound like that. I don't get it. It's just a racket. I never knew what ear fatigue was until after I'd sat down to go through all the entries. And, fyi, you ain't offending the ghost of Dilla if you occasionally have drums that are in time.

Didn't listen to Lou's or Maxwell's entries coz they were hosted on sites that were cookie central.

I guess I liked Sleeps's stuff the best... but a) he broke the 4:04 rule and b) I don't want to risk the next round taking 2 and a half months or for there to be 2 and a half months' worth of samples to go through, so I didn't vote at all.

Obvs I'm taking the complete piss with my entry so I preemptively award myself "nul points".

DING!!!

Translation: "This week I competed in a beat battle competition. When the poll was put up I refused to vote because reasons. I even refuse to listen to some entries because, again, reasons. Also, my joke taking the piss entry is actually 'le son de jour'. Deuces!"

You 'avin a laff, m8?

Your joke entry is literally you cycling through all the samples and making it as "lo-fi" as possible. Or wait... is that the joke!? So smart. Oh, wait, so you are having a laugh? But you sound so serious. Especially the part where you literally shit on all the "tunes" - or was that a joke as well?

You enjoy sucking all the life that's left out of these battles don't you?

Also - complaining about the time frames is irrelevant when you literally have the power in your hands to create your own threads/battles/challenges in this forum at any time you want. There have been times in this forum's history where there have been three or four battles going on at the same time! (ZOMG!)

Oh wait... you did start one in December that you haven't done anything with. Oh..

There are also a plethora of other sample challenges/beat battles that are going on simultaneously in other beatmaking communities across the internet - but I guess you enjoy spending more time on Reddit shitting on other beatmakers than you do competing in battles or something? Who knows.

Your response tickles me to no end.
I don't even understand anything any more.

Lighten the fuck up and have some fun, or put a sock in it.

with the b.s. out of the way, here's my breakdown of the entries.
another amazing round of creations!

Quote:
kwwundo. > you can tell you've studied the masters of the SP who have graced these halls. so many great flips in here. mad props for hitting the 4:04 marker with this. that just puts the icing on the cake of it.

Microphones In The Trees > for my thoughts on this, see above.

DimensionsTomorrow > woo! woo! woo! woo! great slice of a beat here. thanks for coming along for the ride!

KUDOS > i had no idea who this guy was until you posted this but now i think he's the real genius. glad your one arm recovered and you were able to get back to banging out a mix like this. so fucking CRUNCHY. i love it. switch up at 1:18 is elite.

"Uncle" Jess > you dirty fuck. you can't keep getting away with this. 2:30-3:15 ♥♥

Chopperman > always love hearing you come through with some bars to change it up. "i think i could want less than to be worthless" ✓✓ beat is great too ofc! lowkey enough to give the bars plenty of space to breathe.

MarcoGrouch > welcome back to the arena!! haven't seen you around these parts since SPBB372! another great bunch of flips. 2:20 was where you peaked for me.

R0R > 202 APPRENTICE!!!!!! wish you'd have had more time to do some more. your shit is always incredible.

FORFASHIRE > NEWBIE ALERT. NEWBIE ALERT. dope mefnred flip on the second beat but the first one was it for me.

DUSK > lmfao that cover. WHERE THE ADMINS AT!?!?!?!?!? i would say it's a shame you went over the time limit, but it's almost 8 minutes of straight heat, so that is no shame there. i would've 100% voted for you but you broke the rules so i'm afraid i can't do that, dave. on the real though, this belongs in the last round. shit is like a MOVIE! great job.

SLEEPS NUMB > damn another time limit cheater!!!! you got too into the vibe didn't you bro? lmao. this answering machine theme you've brought to a few battles is making me think you're working on something special..... O__O 2:40 is the perfect vibe for this summer heat. gonna need that one isolated and extended pronto.

LOU TENANT > HIDE THE WEED THE COPS ARE HERE!!!!!!! glad to see you make your triumphant return with some beautiful shit after slaying the Olympics last year. that intro was heavy d00d LOCAL PRECINCT PARKING LOT!!!! lieutenant... sir... i don't know what to say... please don't take me to jail. i promise i'll do better next time.

FAMILY EVENT > !?!?!?!? speaking of triumphant returns. you boys really had to just chime in at the last second and kill everybody didn't you? i saw you guys were cooking up on the Gram a few days ago and held out a hope it was for the BB and by god it was... amazing entries but that second one is just truly beautiful. THANKS FOR COMING. PLEASE DON'T GO SO SOON.

voted for FAMILY EVENT and UJFR
next favourites in order would be: kwwundo, KUDOS and forfashire.
the cheaters SLEEP and DUSK were both insanely good but i cant justify voting for you ya broke da rulez ;-((((

p.s. a friendly reminder to anybody reading this that doesn't have an account - just because you aren't a member, doesn't mean you can't enter!! we're all very friendly (well, most of us) and are more than happy to post your entries for you!

Not all the samples. Don't forget the completely random "off-kilter" drums!!!

Aye, well, it was supposed to be a joke but even I was surprised (or was I???) how much alike it was to the usual entry we get these days. Only took an hour too. Piece of piss this "microwave" lark, init? Sample loop; annihilate with lo-fi; overlay random drums... job's a good'un!

Why do you hate us?

I’m sure most enter these battles purely out of love and support of the community and craft.

Time and bandwidth are limited, bro.

If these battles are causing you stress, it’s prob a good idea to step away for a bit.

some dope shit put down by everyone, hard to choose, but no votes for cheaters

top 3 legal entries:
FAMILY EVENT: super insane vibes
"Uncle" Jess: super gritty
Microphones In The Trees: pretty good attempt at pressing the lofi button for an agent
