Beat This! - February 24-25, 2021

[Iron Keys]

Bruhhhh
2nd 3 weeks b2b2b!!!
What I gotta do for that dub?!?!

This was quite a funny surprise for me. Didn't expect to place in this one, happily so; not 'cause I didn't think good enough, but there's a lot of delish out there.

Man, so it ain't the Snoopapellas getting me that spot! Ha

 

[Iron Keys]

@Fade how many votes were in it?! Better not be just the 1 else I screwed myself!

 

[Face Valid]

1. @Iron Keys - loved the g funk vibes and well arranged and mixed
2. @nottr - really cool and different - great use of rhythm, really close to voting for this
3. @xoxo_daisy__ - not really hip hop but really like it its own right. In fact, I really like all your tracks! They have a retro Amiga vibe.
4. @Flare - again not really hip hop but love the music and vibes
5. @Delta_Nine - nice boom bap needs to have Nas on it!

 

[Drago Zetić]

Sick battle. Mine went to @Delta_Nine
@nottr @BadHabits were close picks, overall this has to be the best Beat This in years

 

[Moselly]

@nottr Congrats! Your beat is FIRE!

 

[seanm.music]

I voted for @Face Valid.

Nearly picked @Delta_Nine and @Primz

It was one of the highest voting turnouts we've ever had - in the 20s!

how's life in denmark? Where abouts are you situated? aye they can surprise you sometimes. I bought a load them when i was living down in london and started chomping them on my way back to my flat, somewhere along the way on the tube i started to trip balls! I remember trying to keep it cool so noone would realise i was totally fucked

First of congrats on the win. The right beat won this time!
And I'm sure everyone was aware that you were fucked, it's not easy to hide a mushroom trip.
Life in Denmark is what you would expect. A lot of blonde people who talk funny and are willing to pay 50% income tax...
I'm not living anywhere worth mentioning these days. Just a small town trying to act like it's a city...
Which part of Ireland are you in?

i'm from the west of northern ireland; but i live in Manchetser in England-there used to be a really good music scene here, i'm sure it'll pick up again at some point. there's a famous homeless Irish guy in Copenhagen https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/magazine-28657574

@GuttaTennekey @Crispifier @Exiot were probably my top 3... but my vote went to @Exiot simple but dope vibes!

@44Beatzz Always enjoy your style of beats! with a lil phonk inspired vocal sample

Cool. Didn't know about the homeless Irishman, but we have 2 Irish brothers not far from where i live that each have a pub a couple of blocks away from each other. They had a quarreling years ago and haven't talked together since.

Thanks @Iron Keys . Bass is a Native Instruments Scarbee P-Bass. Played it on keys.
Agreed. Dope beats all round keen for the next one.

 

[Delta Skeltah]

MY TOP FIVE
@seanm.music just good music
@Drago Zetić my type of shit, simple but dope. Westsidegunn would sound nice on this
@Iron Keys really dope, not to take away from nottr, but you could've won this imo
@Face Valid I like the drums on this one
@nottr congrats, didnt vote for you, but I really like this beat. Dope work.

NOTABLE MENTIONS
I really like the vibe of @Pappas Beats , got that (RIP) dj screw type of vocals. I used to listen to a lot of southern hiphop growing up, u took it back. Ty.
@BadHabits dont know why but 50 cent came to mind when This beat first played, really like the bassline, did you low pass that bassline?
@xoxo_daisy__ somebody said they just love the music make. I have to agree with that. You got heat.
@Silentz yo this is dope, I just feel the drum break could be a little louder. Idk exciter or compression might do the trick, other than that I love the vision.
@ThE_SiRe_BeAtS , ten yr old beat, haha good work fam

@Fade @2GooD Productions ty for all u do. Really enjoy these battles. Peace!

 

[Armani]

Dude the way 13 people @ ed me I thought I'd won or some shit *sobs*


@Iron Keys dude now I see how u feel...

 

[Armani]

The rate that iron gets 2nd is depressing...

 

[Crispifier]

4 @Crispifier (beat 20) well done on placing, my brother! makes sense why I heard this before now! Real beautiful beat, bro. Sample?! or

Mix, base progression was a sample i messed with, and ambient vocals were obviously sampled... dunno i usually make most of my stuff from scratch but starting with a sample and building around it seems to work quite well too, i¨d like to get better at sampling/chopping but have mixed feelings about it

I think the reason I kinda recognised thebeat is 'cause I think we spoke about it in discord DM's once?! haha. That eastern sound/melody a sample or you played that?!?

Yeah, I feel you. I'm trying to get into it to... working on a mad one right now. But I also look at it this way - if can't get into it, oh well, least wont have to deal with sample clearance and copyright situations!

 

[Drago Zetić]

I would suggest only posting beats you don't intend for battles then.
