I like entering these for the sake of entering them. It's not that serious for me. With that my gripe is that I look @ the polls and some have way more votes than others. I think that's kinda wack on the person who votes for one and not the other.
I hear what Fred Knox is saying.....although it does look suspect, in my opinion.... Of course there's a great chance that I'm wrong. It just doesn't look kosher.
But at the end of the day..It's just a beat battle and no one is losing money on this. I think with what I've heard here, illmuzik wins altogether. I would've liked to win for the membership, and to be the first BT winner to use a different style of hip-hop music. Ultimately, it would not get you the crown, here.
I do give props to those who voted for those kinds of beats, for what they were as opposed to the types of rappers that spit over them.
Which is also why I am asking for themed rounds next year, I think it takes sample heads out of their element, and makes the non-sampling heads do something out of their element, with the sample flip as the final round.....because..well......Hip-hop was built on sampling....
I hear you, man... But you can't predict that both of those entrants would miss the deadline. It was just a fluke that he got the bye.
I honestly have SG winning this barring someone dropping a fucking atom bomb in the finals against him. Nothing against Dac, I don't think anyone's beating this dude.

Very suspect...especially since it only happen in one round. You were getting beat early but on the other side Quiet Composer was ahead big time and got walked down with like 4 or 5 votes being cast the other way a couple hours before the polls closed. Today it's 9 votes cast in both sides. Things that make you go "hmmmmmmmmm"....I'm just saying. I know some people designate ME... the neighborhood shit starter but I call it like I see it.....hate it or love it!
yeah im seeing what you guys talking about!!! in my case this round its like playing an away game! i was up 3-1 then went down 6-3 im sure we all been watching the voting pattern's so you would know this seems well.................. ^^^^^^^^^^^
I got a question for you guys...Please read it carefully...If I found a dope ass jewel and made 8 - 16 bar chops, I mean HUGE chops (taking very little, if any, from the original sample) and then put a drum beat behind it. Would you respect that as one of MY flips? Just curious?
lol....I got my theory...but I'm not trying to go there right now. I'm not Herman Cain but 9-9 at the same exact time almost is suspect in itself.
ah ha ha ha ha...these vote counts are going UP big time....11 voters on one side...12 on the other.

If it was dope who cares?? If you're trying to sell thats different though
I respect any good beat. Looped or not. But if its a flip battle and the other guy's sounds completely different and yours sounds the same as the original. I would vote for the other guy. That doesn't mean the beat aint hot tho. But if you call it a flip it has to be flipped. I wouldn't lable it a flip if its just a hot sampled joint.
Some Guy said:
Cool, I did that before I learned how to really tear a beat apart but now I kinda view it as BS! There's nothing (but the drums...) that say that I did anything with it so, I (personally) wouldn't even feel right calling it "my flip" or "my beat". But thanks anyway, that helped.
From a production stand point I can't "respect" it. It's more like a dj remix some shit. If it sounds dope it sounds dope though. I will say this....if you did this and really had to work the sample to be able to get drums to even work with it, it would carry more weight. i.e a sample that really had no sync'd drum track in the first and swung all over the place..i.e some live shit. U would definitely have to get your time stretching skills on to get it to flow right and most times that takes skills.
Eventhough I've seen some crazy ish in these comps, I think it's safe to Congratulate both Yung and Some Guy on making it to the final round - and SG for taking it all. You both came hard with it and deserved to be at the top. Great work from both of you.
Congrats Some Guy!

illest o.g.
The results are in! Props to everyone that entered and to those that took the time to vote.
It was another good turnout of beats this year, as always it was fun. I put all the beats back up for all the rounds, for all you guys that want to go through them all again: https://www.illmuzik.com/battle-that/battles/
