Props to all those that entered and to the judges for taking the time to vote.

This one was super close (no theme). I thought @crog85 had a really dope beat too. Nice flip. @Koey nice! @Superior Beats Really dope, very solid mix. @Jordan Solid mix.

I was feeling all the beats but there were a few that seemed a bit off. @A.R. DASUPASTAR What happened? Not sure if that was a mistake or not.

There was another beat but I can't remember right now which one, where it was dope but the drums just seemed too loud overall.

I'd like to hear everyone else's thoughts...

 

[S3oulC1ty]

I felt like @Superior Beats would've had me

 

[Mike Free Music]

Congrats to all that place all was heat. @S3oulC1ty that beat was fire. I thought I was listening to Donuts with that joint.

 

[crog85]

@S3oulC1ty Congrats!! Nice beat, I thought that bassline really made the beat

 

[NONONSENSEBEATS]

@Koey that come in is fresh as hell!

 

[S3oulC1ty]

@Mike Free Music lol idk about donuts, that's on a whole different vibe, your track is insane though, yall amaze me on how yall can control synthesizers like that

@crog85 lol I figured it would, the sample itself had a very unorthodox bassline when I chopped and reorganized it, so I jus removed the low end and started from scratch with the bass, you have a incredible gift for crate digging, that sample is definitely a diamond in the rough

 

[Koey]

@NONONSENSEBEATS Appreciate it homie!

Some of the beats that stood out to me in no particular order...

@crog85 - Nothing to really point out. Solid work man.
@eraofoperation - I feel like beat has so much potential. It def caught my ear. For some reason I can see Kanye on this with some next level shit. I was just expecting you to take it in a whole different direction when it breaks down. I would have reworked the drum sounds slightly too. I was really feeling this though. Something about that main melodic sound caught my ear. It's sounds very unique/different.
@Jordan - My god that sample is fucking...goddam lol. The tonality of the bass sounds a little off to my ears. This is heat though. Can't get over how dope that sample is lol.
@S3oulC1ty - Sample is fire man. Your drum work is on point. Whoa...digging the change up. Good shit and congrats!
@Superior Beats - Straight fire dude. Big, big tune. I would have had this as my winner if I had to choose. Good shit.

Dope competition all around. I feel bad for whoever had to judge and pick 1 beat out of all these entries as the winner without doing some sort of round/tournament style comparison lol.

Looking forward to the next one.
