Theme: WEED
Time Limit: 2 minutes
*Vocal Track Allowed?: YES
**Vocal Snippets Allowed?: YES

• You must make a beat that you can smoke WEED to!

===========
* 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.

So for the theme, we should rap about weed or have sounds or snippets that relate to weed?

Why can't we add our tags it keeps people from being able to steal your beats ijs

Because we keep these battles anonymous so there's no favoritism when voting. It was a big issue a few years ago.

Then I'm worried about the judges not the competitors if the beat is hot it's hot if it's not it's not

We had the idea before of Fade giving out some official illmuzik tags so that if anyone steals your shit it'll say i-i-illmuzzzik g-g-getcha asss torn in twooo

Or some shit.

But yeah, if a pro gonna steal your beat they'll do it regardless so.

There's no judges, it's any member here that can vote. You can even vote if you're in the battle, although you'd be voting against yourself.

Why don't yall take it to the internet feel like the idea will be took but it's for everybody and let the world choose that would give it a bigger demographic

I would never do that because even with just members voting, in the past I've seen plenty of members sign up under fake names and get their whole family to sign up as well, just to vote for them. We've been using the current system for a long time now and it works really well.

Yooo wassup fam. My first time swinging around. Just saw "make a beat where one can smoke weed on" and instantly thought, Lesss goo lmao. Anyways I'm from Cape Town. Where yall located?

 

[JaeRsa]

Let's just make the beats and see wassup. I think we overthink too much on everything else and forget that networking is important too.

This is the correct attitude.

Stay Ill

 

[JaeRsa]

Vibes. Nice to meet you all. Finally lol. An interesting and creative community.

That wasn't the point. It would still protect to a degree from stealing, whilst also remaining anonymous and in the spirit of the battle.
