I don't know what you all think, but they seem more beautiful than usual, and not by a little. There's a lack of cheesy, obvious, trite, derivative beats, which would have been truly awful. It seems that people have taken advantage of the theme as a license for creativity, there is even one beat that's not "bad so good" at all but just good, and that's really dope but too traditionally beautiful, so off-theme imho. I also don’t think many have shared their first beat. There are very few bad tracks in the sense of being uninteresting or forgettable and I don’t feel like voting for them but for the worst-so-good... and It's just a tough choice.

I just realized that there’s a bug that lets me see whose beats they are! So, @MaRRLLy l, if that’s your first beat, congrats—it's that one I said too beautiful for the theme!

This was only from a recent update I did, it wasn't there before. No conspiracies happening here.

Most people here know most people beats. Lucky i switch style, but easy to tell which one's mine --- it's the best in the battle

 

[Earsblower]

Crazy how some of these beats could have won other battles...

Also clever to upload a silent beat !!

Mines was one of my first beats and I hate it I used Sony acid pro and reason 1.0 before i started sampling on fl slicer I hope yall don’t like my awful taste

 

[thekoolkrush]

So we can’t decide how bad it is technically think about it

@attila that beat is so amateur, it’s trash, it’s wack, definitely not my first beat, but I hate this beat and don’t think it’s anywhere near beautiful. The ugly pauses and drums that don’t match. But I appreciate the compliment buddy

I was going to say a lot of these just sound like a lot of users normal battle entries which should be concerning for them!

Also clever to upload a silent beat !!

Inspirational

Congrats @attila for having the worst beat ever!

Some beats were too clean and structured, not sure why. I was hoping for more just straight up fucked up beats!

 

[DJ Excellence]

Congrats @attila — your beat is officially haunting my dreams tonight.


And @Tomblr , I actually liked your instrumental. Super chill beat… which ironically makes it the best beat, but the worst entry for this contest .

 

[Fade]

@Iron Keys I'm disappointed you submitted a track of silence. All you had to do was just smash the keyboard with random sounds!

I think @attila was on point because of the fucked up tempo changes lol.
