Beat This! - May 11-12, 2016

Signups still open? That's a shame. It was a difficult challenge but I thought members here would appreciate it. There's a reason why a no themed competition fills up in minutes(?), people only wanna post their shit like it's a glorified showcase thread. IMO
@Fade you should have more themed competitions. we didn't have any with acapellas in a while, just a thought...

I think it should be the case for every beat this comp. Let the no themed battle be warzone.

Anyway, does this mean the comp is cancelled or postponed?

Found a few errors on my entry that i want to work on.

Fade · May 12, 2016

Here are the beats! The results will be posted tonight.

Listen to the beats:

Fade · May 12, 2016

I have a few spots open for judging. If anyone wants to judge, send me a message.

Fade · May 12, 2016

Results! Props to all those that entered and to the judges for taking the time to vote https://www.illmuzik.com/beat-this-competition/archives/?d=2016-05-12

I think Cherish's beat was definitely at the top on this one. I know it was a tough theme since the drum break has no hats or other type of percussion in it but that's the challenge of it.

tomkillsjerry · May 13, 2016

exactly what i thought would happen happened all the tracks have no motion. im gonna upload mine to soundscloud i sampled the guitars from stroke me and chopped them up with it.

Fade · May 13, 2016

True, there's no motion but I think everyone did a solid job with it.

My thought with this theme was to see how creative everyone could be. Like years ago when all we had was a 4-track and a drum machine or whatever.

tomkillsjerry · May 13, 2016

@Fade yea I feel you. I'm just bitchin about nothin I just quit smoking so I kinda hate everything haha don't mind me.

Mike Free Music · May 13, 2016

The toughness of it all is what what made this it great. You have no choice but to be creative to make something nice with only certian elements.

Mike Free Music · May 13, 2016

Cherish's track was the nicest in the land. IMO he took and old staple hip hoop loop and updated to the present music feel. Pretty good job yo.

Mike Free Music · May 13, 2016

I think there was some cool tracks in this battle.

Fade · May 13, 2016

I find it's much simpler to not have themes but I know themes make it more interesting. Someone just mentioned an acapella. That's always tough.

What would you guys like to have for the next theme?

tomkillsjerry · May 13, 2016

Pick a movie soundtrack to sample from

I second that shit
got some dope original scores on my mp3-player I didn't find the time to sample from, yet. If you consider this, I can throw in some ideas Fade.

Nice beats everyone

Mike Free Music · May 13, 2016

I like the movie soundtrack idea also. Tv or cartoon show theme music.

Fade · May 14, 2016

Yeah movie soundtrack would be dope. Something new or old? The Untouchables?

tomkillsjerry · May 15, 2016

definitely something old. the untouchables has alot of really good stuff to sample

Spuntastic · May 15, 2016

just some ideas:
The Great Silence [Il grande silenzio]
Keoma
Dirty Harry
Miller's Crossing
Blood Simple
The Man Who Wasn't There [almost anything by Carter Burwell]
Snowpiercer
In Bruges
...
