Funny thing and it seems somewhat of a trend nowadays. Even some local and national TV programs seem to do that where I live. Most of what they use might as well be made by 14 year olds on FL Studio... as in a lot of it sounds mediocre and similar (not saying FL Studio is bad).

Just had a listen to the tracks and I gotta say - Damn!

The best thing about the battles is hearing what others do with the same sound sources. There's limitless options. You guys have done the impressive again.

Anybody who says sampling isn't creative needs to be sat down in front of one of these battles

Same goes for all the fools (Future Producers forum anyone?) that still believe excellent and creative beats can only be made on the Akai MPC series.

Oh, this isn't the mpc forum. I've been using an mpc2500 this whole time. Damn it

Imagine if it was - there would have to be separate battles for each sampler becuase those guys get so hung up on 'features'.

'ohhh my 1000 doesn't work exactly like your 2500 so it's not fair' boohoo etc

I'm being unfair, of course, but hey it's just for comedy value

There are few wise heads over there amongst the 'O.Gs'....

no doubt... real nice beat IIIII. I just bumped a playlist of the tracks that have been posted so far and have to say that I'm really feelin all of em.

I might take advantage of this pushed back deadline and take another crack at this one.

cool new name euclid. Is it cool if I still call you doc though?

showoff

seriously man, I love the sound of your beats, every one sounds like true NY hip hop. I can almost hear some really smooth, deep raps over it already. That track needs an MC

I just noticed 'Euclid' too - didn't know you were a math nut, doc!

Euclid Ov Oåklånd · Post by **Euclid Ov Oåklånd** » Fri Jun 13, 2008 3:12 am

Damn, That was fire. You should change your name to Dylon, from Chapelle Show. I'm DL this fo' sho.

Hey guys, this wasn't made on an SP (it was made on Ableton) but I just wanted to get some opinions. Its the second beat I've made like this and I wanted to know what people who listen to music like this think. The track is called "Hopper"

20 is from the last battle, I just don't enter them because they're made with SP's.

Let me know what you guys think.
