this work immaculate, this beat articulate,
finger banging the mpc make the song penetrate,
your brainwaves flactuate, chill. drill
you about to get your fill , make you wanna investigate,
make you wanna be part of it, yep, we intergrate.

 

[Vossi Beats]

Lis'n to good productions and my man Primz go,
you ain't gotta be pro, to know they got flow.
Now it's my turn, to put on a show,
just hope I don't do like the wind and blow,
the battle tonight, when it's time to go,
shoot em up like an arrow and bow!
Man I feel, the suspension is real,
like an undercover cop in bad drug deal,
south of the border, I got my rhymes in order,
like my daughter throwing punches,
that's one of the things i taught her

Let me tell you somthin' else,
This ain't even my first language,
but still im'a bang this,
like a ho' yelling damn bitch!
Yo Fade, remember that time we met half past eight?
I remember it well, we got drunk and fell,
past the 6-7th gates of hell.
Was' good, Armani and Keys?
shoot the internet up let'em rest in peace,
eat a sandwich when we done,
made with bacon and cheese.

At this point,
I don't even know wtf I'm saying,
it don't matter tho, we just up in here playing,
like a preacher slaying or a cannibal praying,
we fuck all the bad bitches, but you know we not staying.

Brrrrrrrrrrraa!

How many hours until we can vote?

In about 3 hours I think. Then until around 11pm to midnight UK time when the results are announced, whatever that translates to for you.

A few really brought the goods. A few the timing was well off. And some really took it somewhere else. Good work and good luck.

I knew there would be few entries and that this would be a tough one for people.

Even myself there's elements I'm not pleased about, but left myself too much work to do, so was like 'fuck it' in the end. But I also like how I approached it, so.

 

[Iron Keys]

Seeing as there's only 16 entries i might just make notes on all of them, they wont be in depth unless making short list(or if you ask). But I might not get to post them til tomorrow.

Well done already to anyone who entered - it is definitely not the easiest theme, and is testament to your character as a person and producer for tackling this one.**


**I always pay attention when a 'tricky' theme comes around as to who enters and who doesn't. Sometimes you can see some of the people who may hold a high view of themselves shy away. Scared to step away from their comfort zone and habits. Only the realest attempt the tricky ones!
(nothing wrong with skipping a battle because you're not feeling it - but it's clear when some 'aren't feeling it' out of fear and discomfort)

I had to take this somewhere else. I almost gave up on a 3rd Marvin theme here...but I stepped it up with a keyboard beat and chopped up some vocals sounds at the end of words and tried something totally new with distortion and sidechain compression on Ableton. This was fun for me to not give up on Marvin Gaye sample 3

Agreed... you can definitely hear the experience levels. One entry IMO could have really been nice, but seemed like the beat and acapella were in a race

 

[TACTIK]

I am glad to see how many tried this but most people here dont know how to harmonize a melodic acapella to their beat and just leave marvin at the same pitch...listening to the wrong pitch makes my ears itch!

 

[Iron Keys]

I really quite like how some people tried to interpret this.

My biggest disappointment was that only a very few number of people managed to keep it within 'Hip-Hop' territory. I get that it's not the most straightforward of things to do, but it definitely is way within the realms of possibility.
Some people's less(or non) hip-hop attempts did have some good quality and ideas, but ultimately it do gotta be Hip-Hop.

I personally think it would have shown more to some peoples credit as a producer if they tried to make hip-hop instead of taking the easy way out.

That being said, I'm all voted, I got notes on all you, and respect to all for entering.

Keep it hip-hop, stay ill.
