Best line is that, if you open old hip hop it's gonna be something different... (I.e LL, vs Luda, Vs Nas, vs Fab) but today everything is the same beat... People making love song on the same trap beat and same kill ya mom trap beat.
Great point...
I can't even really hear it, so all good to me. Great work
Wow, the kick stacking - do you chop em all up to match the parts you want or? I never get into that. Spend hour crafting perfect kick, then play it back don't like it
Fairplay.
Feel you. Fair
Always and anytime, bro. Just a DM or...
I think first time round there was something i didn't like, i think R2/R3 I was like 'what didn't i like?'.
I think maybe there was a thin freq somewhere (maybe not). Love the kick, love the compositional work (was any of this 'stolen' type ish - or all just your own doing).
It's a bit mono...
It could sound quiet because you're compressing it - a very real possibility depending on how you're compressing it
OMG - so, I came to my computer to listen to music whilst responding. Anyway, just finished typing the above and was like 'ou what's this playing, gonna go add it to my saved on...
@Earsblower was that guitar a sample or you played that? Nice beat
@Leopard Cohen i REALLLY loved this beat. I can't remember if I voted this or K-Waz, but your beat is probably my favorite in the battle - if I stumbled across this on Spotify it would be added to my inspiration playlist...
I voted that beat, but fully expected yours to win, based on the fact your beat went past mine and K-Waz, I was convinced that whatever I wasn't hearing is what was going to be the thing as to why yours won. I was 95% certain of it.
Love, brother.
What it is, it reminds me of sample/boombap beats I've made before where some of the sample triggers annoy me a little.
Would have been power if it had the same fullness of K-waz beat, but not sure if things are always mixable like that or part of what the source is.
Congrats...
Hahaha
Honestly, your beat was the beat I didn't want to come up against in this.
I really like the tone and punctuation you get on your drums - you gotta share your secrets with me, brother.
I thought there mayyy have been a little too much bass, but I always prefer a little too much over a...
Alright, originally I was going to leave it here, as don't want to (and urge you all not to) get into discussions about voting n this n that, but...
I said this in R3, and was still like 'anyway, i know which ones are getting to the final' ... and then... wot?!
The second tier final matchup...
Actually surprised at some of the votes.
Seeing a lot of good beats miss out to questionable ones lately.
Guess it all depends who's listening and on what!
A lot of cap going on here. The best guys got good mixes with/without loops or samples.
The lesser guys mixes still be wonky with sampling or loops.
There are some that rouse suspicion at times tho.
