More sunny than your usual mood. The pause of the chop before the snare Is awesome and the vocale sample just amazing. Gonna be very hard this fight too. Well done, mate.

I really struggled to come up with something until I played this sample in. Also, I wanted to to work on my bars to kill your other beat, which I had to postpone to not let your beat fight challenge slide.

@attila i liked that hats variation inside of your beat,
those flutes inside of the sample is also very solid, your variations are also on point!

@Kane the MOD : That rewind of the turntable is pretty sick, when the chops kicked in, it reminded me a bit of that one track from Dilated Peoples: Worst Comes To Worst
That bass in there is als SOLID!
Chill type of beat!
Appreciate the feedback.

@attila - I started this very skeptical, because I really hate that china/splash cymbal you used lol. Sorry, just personal taste. Asymmetric/janky drums are hard to pull off. For me, beats need to have a rhythmic anchor, and with these style drums coupled with vocals and a lot of other moving parts - it doesn't have that anchor. Example, at the 0:30 mark when all the elements come in, it sounds like you left open 5 youtube windows on your laptop and they all started playing at the same time. While I do really like the sample choice and vibe, it's just a bit too cluttered for my taste.

@Kane the MOD - Great guitar sample! I think the start/stop chops could've been a good foundation for a DJ premier beat. Great vibe with this. There's a blend of modern and old school - kinda has an SP404 feel to it. Love the crunch bass guitar!

Another tricky one to vote for. There's a ton of vibe and feel dripping off both beats...some things were 'technicall'y better in certain spots.

I made the deliberate choice to use out of time chops. It's a style that I really like (when done well, I don't know if you're familiar with certain beats by L'orange). I'm still measuring things out (but prefer fights to showwcase cuz I think they engage more the listeners) and evidently, I've exaggerated andI must have put too much stuff together for the drums to handle it all. I want to try again, thanks for the feedback, bro.
