Here's my flip I been jammin to this, thanks for the sample http://soundcloud.com/ferretpinto/away
Interesting...I don't really know what to say...
Yes yes,
Thanks for the sample Dacalion, not made a beat for ages so this was my 1st port of call for some inspiration.
Ferret: really nice mellow beat, all gels together well. Especially like how you've made the vocal part of the beat, an MC could bounce off that - like how in some tracks where they have a conversation with the beat - 2 examples I can think of are "Speak Softly" by Marco Polo/Jojo Pellegrino & "Hold U Down" by Alchemist. Anyways I digress, great job.
Here's my take on it, it's called "Reality Check", feedback much appreciated, cheers:

Party Music - Rush job, half ass mix, no final touches but thanks to Rav3, I've got some dope samples coming up next. I've heard everyones flip, I'll leave feedback tomorrow.
I raked my brains over the coals trying to flip this sample...Sooo...Here are 2 for this week...They both suck..but it was a good opportunity to try something different...lol...Both Unmixed so pardon my lack of quality...Hope they don't sound too bad...

Hope you pick the 1s im about to flip then lol
I have a track cooking for this one, but will prob take till the 7th to finish.
Fuck it here goes nothing, i thought i might as well post it before I fuck it up.
Still got a bit of work to do, some drum variation and theres a little click in there i need to work on but here it is, my first unstoned beat...

Ferret. I like some of the vocal snippets you have used, "Please Dont Take My Music Away", but then some of the other vocal chops seem a little disjointed and dont quite work in my opinion. Still a nice flip, I like the drums.
Visceral. I dont recognize any of the sample in that beat. Are you cheating? dope beat none the less.
Dac. Haha I see you used the same part I did. I dunno, this just seems a little too busy to me, but still dope flippage and cuts.
Macndabox. Well this is different, subtle use of the sample, and much composition around it. This beat has a nice dark atmosphere, good work.
I like the drums, even tho I hate the tom rolls, Im going to have to just get with the times and accept drum rolls.

Thanks for the feedback people. Listened to all the other flips & was very impressed.
Dacalion: You actually managed to use those wobble sounds! I couldn't make those bastards fit in my beat at all! Very professional sounding beat, don't know why you're bothered about it being a "half ass mix", sounds slick to me. Remember you can overdo things with Hip Hop, keep it raw & have confidence cos your shit is quality mate.
Macndabox: Good choice to do 2 versions, the sample does lend itself more to house to be fair. The house beat has a nice journey to it with the change ups and the lead synth. The Hip Hop beat is sick tho, ill bassline & good decision to go with the slow/double time tempo, I can bounce to that! I'm not a massive fan of drum rolls in Hip Hop beats either 2Good, but I think Mac used some good drum sounds to stop it being generic.
2Good: Glad you didn't recognise the sample, I'll take that as a compliment! The bit I chopped is around 4:50-5:00 in the original track. Had to make use of that bassline, and then chopped little bits of the guitar and filtered them. Anyways onto your beat; I personally like the choppy/clickiness of the sample, gives it character, nice synth & especially like the bass. Can tell you're used to composing over samples, refreshing to hear.

Ferret - I like this, very R&B'ish. The vocal placements make this beat seem more for a singer and not a rapper but the beat is definitely hip hop. I luv the pitch change on the vocals as well. The drums fit perfect with this beat style. Everything is on point from my view.
Visceral - This is dope, nice chops, nice pauses, nice vocal snips, super nice change ups. Sound quality is on point. Good job!
Macnadabox - Hip Hop - OK, Ima tell you why this works for me. 1st Impression tells me that the vocals are so off key with the song that this can't work BUT then I hear the way you twisted everything and surprisingly, it all comes together imo. incorporating the toms in this was hot. Very creative beat! and sometimes creativity is that it takes. I dig this.
House - I didn't even listen to it because I HATE HOUSE music! lol, sorry but you would have gotten a totally biased feedback from the jump so I didn't even click on it. Just being honest =).
2Good - hahaha, I gotta like this. I mean there's no way around it...lol. and yeah, we'll wait for your next flip.
This was a tough song to flip, but I'm a firm believer that there is a jewel hidden within any song/sample, it's just up to us to find it. Thats just how I approach sample flipping. I know that if I had really took my time I would have found that jewel, I'm not disappointed with my flip, but thanks for the luv and feedback.
@Rav3 - Since youre going thru PB, let me know which song you want to flip but I trust you not to have started on it already. We gotta get those creative juices flowing again. Time permitting, I will do a 24 hr flip as well. Not making this a contest but just challenging our abilities to roll something over as fast as possible and then reviewing the results.

Haha, thats exactly what I thought.
Well..I think this is quite cool sir...Wondering if you chop samples or just loop on turn tables cus I could hear the overlap? I gotta get some turntables...anywho...I had to go back and find the wobble sound..lol...I didn't know there was a wobble sound...lol...Nice! Always a favorite...
Wow...You destroyed that..I was really feeling that Bassline, drums on point, quality...Crisp..Kept thinking..damm you "Killt" it...Job well done!
