[Freakwncy]

I got Merc on this more uptempo and more changes... not so repeative... Close call tho... good on 5th...

Honestly... this is a battle.. and alot of these smooth beats wouldn't work in a real LIVE comp.

Alright, nevermind me saying Young Qyu and Ashs' battle was hardest to judge. They're ALL hard! Everyone has their own style up in here so it's hard to compare. I almost don't want to vote cause I like Mercury Water's for the the MAD creativity, but I think 5th's beat is a banging hip hop beat! I could here that track on a Common album. I'm going to have to give it to Merc. Listening to Bjork, Chemical Bros., and old school 70's breakbeats, that track just seems to bring so many styles together to me.

^ word..

 

[5th Sequence]

Mercury Waters my maaaan. shit is fresh bro!! I dig it a lot, this is a great battle lol.

Your track has hella presence, sounds big and loud and ugh.. perfect lol. I need to study up on gettin my shit to sound that clean.
Freakwncy, yeah they are smooth beats and may not go over well in a live beat battle but these are judged on best overall. I dunno, i jus think it's kinda limiting if everyone where to focus on straight battle type beats for the comp.

 

[Gene Flo]

[5th Sequence]
