SPBB-409~ HUNTERS OF THE GOLDEN CASSETTE

[SLEEPS NUMB]

THE LEGEND WAS REAL. LAST NIGHT, AN ANCIENT, DECAYED WET DIARY MICROCASSETTE BELONGING TO THE MYTHIC EXPLORER SP DRAKE WAS UNCOVERED IN A FLOATING COFFIN OFF THE COAST OF PANAMA. THE PAGES ARE FILLED WITH CRYPTIC COORDINATES, BARS, AND MAPS LEADING DIRECTLY TO EL DORADO—THE HOME OF THE MYSTERIOUS GOLDEN CASSETTES.

TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THE CHIEF ARCHAEOLOGIST OF OUR EXPEDITION SOCIETY MYSTERIOUSLY VANISHED IN THE DEEP JUNGLES OVER TWO YEARS AGO, LEAVING OUR RESEARCH COLD BUT WE AREN'T THE ONLY ONES TRACKING THE SONIC SOURCE.

IN HIS ABSENCE, THE UNCHARTED RUINS OF THE WORLD HAVE BEEN PLUNDERED BY A RUTHLESS SYNDICATE OF MERCENARY BEATMAKERS, HELMED BY AN EVIL, SHADOWY COLLECTOR KNOWN ONLY FOR HOARDING RARE WAX AND SP-202s WITH THE MYTHIC SM CARDS.

THIS SYNDICATE IS FORCE-DIGGING ARTIFACTS TO UNEARTH A POWER THAT SHOULD REMAIN BURIED: THE GOLDEN CASSETTES OF DESTINY.

THE SYNDICATE'S MEN AMBUSHED OUR BASE CAMP AND STOLEN THE ONE ANCIENT GOLDEN CASSETTE WE SPENT MONTHS TRACKING DOWN. THEY AIM TO RIG THE IDOL TO A MASSIVE WALL OF SOUND, EXPLOITING ITS MYSTERIOUS SUPERNATURAL FREQUENCIES TO BRAINWASH THE UNDERGROUND.

WE ARE RIVAL FORTUNE HUNTERS IN A RACE AGAINST TIME! WE MUST RECLAIM THE FORGOTTEN TEMPLE, CHOP THE SYNDICATE’S HEADS, AND SECURE THE TAPES BEFORE A CATASTROPHIC SONIC BOOM UNLEASHES!

I really don't want to be the whiny complaining type, but really: do we need an hour-plus long sample pack every battle? Who has time for this?

Whatever happened to one song, a drum break or some one-shots ?

Way more creative-possibilities working with less, and then you can actually compare chop-skills and style.. as it is it's like standing in the cereal isle of the supermarket with my mouth open cause there's like fifty-eleven flavours of fruit-loops to choose from.

"Choice-paralysis" i believe it is called...

I AM SORRY YOU FEEL THAT WAY.

SOME OTHERS SHARE THE OPINION, AS WELL. THAT THE PACKS ARE TOO LONG OR LEADING TO OPTION PARALYSIS.

I ALSO HEAR OTHERS THAT REALLY ENJOY MORE CURATED PACKS THEN A QUICK LOOP AND YOUTUBE LINKS. I HAVE ALSO HEARD FROM PEEPS WHO WERNT INSPIRED BY THE SAMPLES AND DECIDEDLY WOULD NOT CONTRIBUTE. THERES A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH AND TONS OF OPINIONS.

SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OPINIONS, I DECIDED TO GO WITH WHAT I ENJOY MOST SINCE I WON THE LAST BATTLE.

I HAVE BEEN PRETTY ACTIVE OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS, AND HAVE BEEN PROUD OF THE TURNOUT FOR MANY OF THE BATTLES. BUT CAN SEE HOW THINGS CAN SEEM MUCH MORE CAVALIER. MYSELF AND A FEW OTHERS ALSO BEEN MAKING FULL FLEDGED MINI TAPES, WHICH MAKES THE EXPERIENCE MORE ENJOYABLE FOR MY EARS, THAN LISTENING TO 4 DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE SAME CHOPS, BUT CAN SEE THE COUNTER POINT ESPECIALLY FROM SOMEONE I RESPECT LIKE U!

HOPE YOU COME THRU MORE! I AM PROBABLY THE MOST EGREGIOUS OF THE OTHER ARGUMENT, THE LAST BATTLE LED BY KUDOS N JMC WAS IN THE 12 MINNUTE RANGE, AND WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER FOR YOUR RETURN.
