Thank you, sirAlright, where do I start,
I guest first, congrats lil bro.
Great sample choice, feel like it's just a winning sample by default - where you get it from?
But what I really liked were these overly flabby drums - this was in my top 3 (was actually the first beat I heard and I said "this is my winner already, I'm judging everything against this")
I voted for @Bandia Gotach = the main things I loved; the spooky main background sounds, painted a fucking perfect backdrop, sonically too. Big drums, but specifically that one beautifully late kick drum... make my soul drool. Going to backwards engineer that shit to check the timing. Exquisite
@Earsblower - sorry, absolute fucking heresy that this beat isn't in top 3; genuinely think this was possibly the best beat in the battle, Only thing missing is a vocal. It was one of several tracks I kinda 'toplined' to myself. Probably should have got my vote, but Bandia's big drums, spooky vibe and late kick bribed me.
To other observations...
@Bluebox really cool beat, musically. Got a solid vibe to it - if this had a great mix, probably be one of the 'coolest' beats on this battle. (i actually thought @feswaq beat was yours 'cause of the arcade vibes)
@LUNACYBEE ... brav....
I was determined to find out who was the culprit of this. Your name and beat title is in full caps, and so is your mastering limiter. Wtf?
@oninkaf gave me Jay Z 'feelin it' vibes. Really laid back nice beat, great vocal chop too
@Jimulacrum - real interesting beat, bro. probably too 'intelligent' this time for the battle victory. I don't wanna call this your 'best' beat, cause they all really cool, but felt like something different from you in a good way. Not that it needs to be different cause the previous stuff cool too - didn't recognise your beat this time, when I saw your comment i was curious to find out which was yours
@PhxAZTracMaster - cool beat, it wants a vocal. i was toplining this to myself too when listening
great work illienzzzZZ
Not that I recommend this, but sometimes I hit up the old "beats" I uploaded here just to remind myself how fucking terrible I started off. Literally got a DAW and just started mashing buttons.
this is the feeling i shared
Almost like you've been visited by illienz.
YessirI'm just glad everyone had a good time.
oh no I legit think his beats are boring. I mean most "good" beats are, including a lot of your own work + some of my own shit that wins which I can't even wrap my head around how. this last one tho? both you & crog happened to sound genuinely interesting. could actually feel the emotions ur shit evoked rather than just boppin head yk.
another thing I noticed the other day is that winning a beat this is completely diff than a warzone, because in warzone all you need to do is be good and you'll place. but in beat this, you need to impress a certain niche. like say you do trap: it has to be the best trap beat in there or the trap voters will vote for ur rival, and it'll go up to compete against what the boom bap voters voted for. that's why there's usually a mixed result in the top 5. the fact that there's only 1 vote makes it unpredictable.
which also makes beat this have a more... "winner" character, rather than "not a loser". in warzone, you need to not lose. in here, you need to go on n win. kinda like the diff between the world cup & bundesliga.
I know what you mean - this is what I meant when I was speaking to Jimula-JimothyyMcveigh about earliest/first beats being mega cool and creative, then as you progress, your beats get boring but they are better/higher quality.
It's why I always value Beat This as the better W --- people listen to 27 beats, but come back for your specific beat.
as if I've ever gave u anythin other than honest feedback. I mean cmon, you of all people have to remember when they used to call me toilet paper
I really fucked with ur shit, no bs.
