The next competition will be from August 21-22nd! See the information below.

Signups

The signups will be on August 21st at 12pm ET/EST, and end around 8pm ET, or until we have enough contestants (whichever comes first - depending on the theme).
Voting will be for one day, on August 22nd, where the results will be posted the same day.

Check out the Beat This! ranks: https://www.illmuzik.com/beat-battles/ranks/cat/bthis/

The Signup page is here (it will open up on the signup day)

Theme: REGGAE
Time Limit: 2 minutes
*Vocal Track Allowed?: NO
**Vocal Snippets Allowed?: YES


  • You must make a Hip Hop beat with a Reggae feel to it!

===========
* VOCAL TRACK ALLOWED? This means you can have a full vocal track with your beat (acapella, for example).
** VOCAL SNIPPETS ALLOWED? This means you can have vocal snippets in your beat (very short vocal parts, for example). This is where you can also have an intro with talking (like from a movie).
===========

Voting

If you are competing, you will be able to vote but not for yourself. DO NOT TRY TO CHEAT! I will be watching for cheaters. This means you cannot sign up under different names or get your friends and family to sign up either. If you are caught cheating you could be banned.

Voting Criteria

You can use whatever sounds you want, samples, synths, just remember to read the rules for the rest of the restrictions. What the judges will be looking for is originality, creativity, mixing skills and overall dopeness!

Beats

All the beats will now be displayed in a random order and without any names. All you will see is: Beat #001, Beat #002, etc. This is so that there is no favoritism when voting.

Rules

If you're not sure about the rules, read this thread.

If you have any comments, suggestions, or questions about the competition, please post them in here.

see my issue with themes like this is that I love them. I really do. I'm like ayeeeee the hoodlums are finally broadening their horizon. and then what happens is I come to the party with a full bob marley costume on thinking it's gonna be halloween, only to find myself between 19 boom bap submissions that say "bombaclat" once every like 8 bars. and then eventually they all lose to the one beat that crog has uploaded like 70 times. and we just end up looking like idiots.

I know what you mean, but at the same time it's hard to make a Hip Hop beat with a Reggae feel. Or any Hip Hop beat with some sort of feel. What if everyone had the same Reggae guitar lick? Either way it's whatever. Or nothing.

Yeah well although I agree, who cares. I just submit what I think sounds good and whatever happens happens. I submitted a Country Hip-hop beat once, remember ? :cool:

Guess what I mean is I don't do this for the points at the end of the day, I do it to try stuff and discover. Maybe it's because I'm still new to all this.

Surprised we only have 10 entries for this one. Beat This usually brings 20+.

Fewer entries = better chances for me, though, and I'm definitely good with that. :cool:
