Here's mine, and trust me. I did sample the Major Harris track. What sounds like a guitar is that part that comes in at 12 seconds.

Here is mine. I had no succes last week and feel quite better with this beat.

Here's what I came up with Just Like A Star I was trying to leave the scratches out of this one but I couldn't resist.
@SMM - I can't really call this a "flip of Major Harris" but the beat is SICK. I really like the guitar and the drums, the changeups are great, and it's structure is on point. Great sound quality as well. I'm digging it. I can see a MC murdering this too.
@smokaz - I don't know whats up with me but I've really been on some smooth ish lately and this is smooth as fuk. Luv the effects on the vocals at the start and your chop selection really stands out to me...the melody that you created is FIRE. I gotta admit one changeup in the body would've made this crack but dope nonetheless. An MC could kill this as well.

@SMM - now that's how you sample without getting sued. LOL! nice hip hop beat.
@Smokaz - laid back. i like everything that you've done here.
@Dac - you're going to make me learn how to scratch. you're the reason i never participate in the sample flips. LOL!

@finnigan- Straight up sound track material. Or music to drive by, either or. Good work
@dacalion- somebody will be rapping to this one. Ill chops, and the cuts are Chris Paul -(on point).
@ think u should duck that snare a lil, other than that, this one flows and puts me in a zone. good job.

HI all
I was moe inpired by this one, last week I went it too many way.
I have to work a little my snare and play more with the drums part.
@SMM - really interesting way to work. the chop make a real good beat. these are ultra presice chops I am not use to think to.
@Dac - always a lesson to hear your song , I prefer the beat part but you always show all what can be done with the differents chops.
@finnegan -really good beat, good use of all the chops. I likeit, it may do a great intro our outro.

@finn - no doubt this is the calm after a highly dramatic scene or the first track as the credits start to role. Great work finn!
Thanks everyone else...I really liked all these, hopefully we'll see a few more before times up but good work everyone.

I know it's kinda hard to take a sample like this and make it feel 'hard' without getting away from actually calling it a 'flip', but I really like the route that SMM took...soooo, if time allows, I'm gonna try to do another beat using samples from this sample but making it a bit 'harder'.
IMO, 2Good and GRAF are masters at doing this...anyone else that wants to give it a shot feel free...I'll leave this thread open for a few extra days to give more time...lets say until the 31st. I'll post a new sample on the 30th for those that are ready to move on.

@SMM = Crazy beat. I like the bassline.
@Smokaz = I like that kick. Bumpin. I think the snare needs more weight to make it smack a bit (too tinny sounding in my opinion.) I also like that high little synth noise that comes in about 40 seconds in. I think you should turn that up just a little.
@ Dac = The very beginning reminds me of Shook Ones pt. 2 by Mobb Deep. I really like all the different chops. Really fresh cymbals from like 40 seconds on... I need to work some crashes in to my beats more.
@ Finn = Nice and slow. I agree that the snare needs a little more juice or a different sound layered in or something. I think the vibe is cool and different.
Here is mine for this week. The sample this week was nice. Glad you put me on to it Dac.

great work so far, I like how so much variety came out of the same track and nothing stunk, its a great exercise and I think I'll be participating more often....
chopping now
DAC sorry I know this question had to be asked somewhere else but, what did you use to scratch the sample or did you just make it sound that way?

me too. may have to rethink that one. dacalion should get an endorsement deal from FL Studio, seriously. I've learned a lot.
With Scratcher, you have several options but you really need a turntable controller imo. There are some cats that can really freak it good with a keyboard but I can't. Anyway, check this thread... https://www.illmuzik.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28906
Ok, I flipped it again... Tell A Lie
Thanks finn, after relistening to it myself, I wish I had used another hihat on it...something still kinda grimey but I'm happy with it overall. I also wanted to make it alot harder but I couldn't get away from the original melodies of this sample, I luv the sounds in it...lol.
