Battle 59

Listen to the beats, and choose the best one.
Feel free to leave some feedback too

this was super tough. kel's was a straight up classic banger, but i was also feeling cerpin taxt's unique flip. i like kel's drum treatment and the use of the sub trick. and i liked cerpin's effect tweaks and quirky rendering. i literally flipped a coin (no really), and voted for cerpin taxt.

great job to all and i hope to see everyone back for the next one.

First off dope battle mad props to all who participated, After listening to all the beats twice, lawrence: really digging your chops namely the piano type sound, and the drums were dope also,kels: overall dope headnodder really feeling the sub, cerpin taxt : really enjoyed the beats second transition i had a nice little rap to it,IIIII: drums never were repetitive really liked the third transition of your beat was a mellow listen to smoke one to,blindfold dope anticon esque beats had nice dimension to it also i mellow listen,blacksnow's had a nice free feel to it with a nice original flip,

But, to me it came down to elhuana and ormo; Ormo crazy ass fuck sounded like a alien 80's sitcom version of the fresh prince in a good robotic mesculine trip way , elhuana you can just tell hes mastered his sampler, he was rocking the effects like some lord beatjitsu shit and had me nodding my head like yesteryear

i voted elhuana

hi
i voted for antee (wu thang wu thang come sempre!), elhuana (fresh and clean), and ormo (psychic way to a dark sucide)
3 votes ahaha
seriously, i didnt voted
why?

read after

the other:
i listened all the beats, but maybe is my shitty hifi speakers, some of them (2 or 3) are "overmixed"...i have to re-listen better

Antee - dope beat, I especially dig the bass here! Doesn't sound very lazy at all

BlackSnow - solid beat, try to bring out the drums a bit more

Blindfold - lame son, you call that a beat?

CerpinTaxt - nice effects, it all works well together and has some cool changes

Elhuana - although it sounds strangely lo-fi your beat has a certain appeal; well sampled and lots of changes!

IIIII - awesome humming bass and not the everyday drum pattern. The middle part is off the hook, dope work man!

Kel - nice, chilled out vibe

Lawrence One Three - straight forward beat with loads of good samples in there, good work

Looplover - not bad at all for the first entry!

Ormo - crazy stuff dude, what's going on here?

wundrkut - sounds a bit choppy, has got some nice surprises, though

Hm, it's hard to pick one with so many warriors in the arena but my vote goes to IIIII for making my headphone shake with that bassline and those smooth arangements

Nice one everybody!

sheeeeiiiiiiiiiit, mine's too late! i was gonna upload later tonight.

i'll upload anyway, it's made now.

nice beats everyone! this was tough

I had to go with Lawrence OneThree. The chops were real good and you got the snare rolls in there and it sounded just right. Nice work everybody!

1: Kel got my vote, for all-round funkyness
2: IIIII - sick beatdown
3: Antee - smooth production, drums were good

everyone else: nice work all round, sorry i couldn't get mine ready in time!

KEL baby

I'm gonna go ahead and say ORMO... dammmn man... ORMO went mental on this one hahah it was pretty great.
Runner up for me was probably a toss up between Kel, Elhauna, Wundrkut
but yeah man ormo...haha crazy

Antee: Very dope swing as always, good stuff. You made sure the beat always stayed the main thing, with a more minimalistic use of the sample. That's been a good idea IMHO, sounds dope!

BlackSnow: Not bad at all! Volume is too low and while the drums are pretty tight, the sample chops and sequencing isn't quite right. The sample chops feels a bit random.

Cerpin Taxt: Digging the usage of FX and the stuttery melody. Dope beat!

Elhuana: Good chops of the sample!

IIIII: Nice drums, pretty clean mix too. Good job. I really dig the drums at about 2/3 of your beat.

kel: Good beat dynamics. It all fits chop-wise and overall great production values.

Lawrence: Digging that rolling snare beat there. Solid rhythm too, I like it.

Looplover: Cool stuff. Sounds a bit too experimental for my taste, but you'll get there, knowing this is your first entry.

ormo: I didn't felt that intro, but I like the stutters and faster rhythm halfway through a lot. Has a reasonably good sound on that woodlike snare too. Nice job!

wundrkut: Solid beat, but I had a feeling you could do better. The sample stabs aren't too bad, but I felt it used up a bit too much space.

Lots of great beats as evident by votes being all over the place, so yeah, good battle! I'm going to vote for Lawrence this time, but it's been a very close call. IIIII and Cerpin Taxt made some serious heat too.

antee - classic track. piece of good old hip hop
blacksnow - keep developing your skills man, this track is better than your previous one.
blindee - creepy beat. definitely with atmosphere.
cerpin taxt - nice playing with effects, i like the overall melody too
fiveEye - different than all the other tracks, I really like it
kel - Im loving them drums plus nice parts of the sample being used
lawrence - you may be new up in here, but I hear some skills in this one. I like it a lot.
looplovah - I feel this track. for a first timer -also pretty good entry
ormo - crazy track. a lot of things goin on there. yeah, shit's intensive
wundrkuto - nice parts of the sample used, i like the way you joined em.

the ^first guy got my vote

ORMO!!!!!

sick round everybody nice flips

my vote goes to Kel, i like the chops, great bassline (supreme use of the sub sonic efx) and nice drums too... props to evertyone, it's an interesting battle.
