This was an easy one....Good originality, thruth. Reminded of an MOP track from a while back, but was true to mixed in well with your style and your approach to the drums.

Every sample yells for its own specefic drum pattern; you gave it what it needs.

Mox, props on the sample and drum selection, i think the drum pattern could've been tweaked a tad more, but I probably couldn't have done it better myself.

mox, nice work on the sample, i thought truth came harder though, i thought it was an overall better beat....truth got my vote.

mox shit is tight but i kept waiting for the snare to come in.. i like the snaps but i really felt it just needed a snare to come in for the main part...

truth got my vote

My vote goes to Truth.....Great beat my man.

Mox - that shit was pretty dope, but then u lost me like a few other listeners when the snare was lost.

STEEZ

I can always appreciate original music when it's played out on the keys 'well'. I think Cold came through with it. Eventhough there's a 'bad' bass note in there and the beat can become monotonous, I still dug it.

Mox's track and his use of the sample was so purdy...BUT..then nothing happened with the drum programming. I was left waiting for moreeeee. This beat has SOOOO MUCH potential. Great begining. But I expected to hear the beat come in smackin! And then, 'nada'...'ziltch'...nothing! EVERYTHING is there already...put in a snare combined with a dirty clap..play out the bassline if you can..filter it..and you got yourself a sick track. The ending wit the studdering hits is cool, maybe for 8 bars..then get out of there. Again, the beat is under produced. Don't let this track go to waste. Fix it up. This might sound cheezy, BUT..the production on JLO's album 'This is me then' is a great reference to the mix and sound of throwback joints. Peep dat Mox.

I'll go wit Cold as Ice.

Congratulations

-I'M RICH BITCH...no, really, I am. :-x

Same thing i was thinking. Mox's use of that sample had me waiting for some ill drums. at least a hard hittin snare. i love the kanye congo roll but the snare wasnt working, besides that great work.

But 5 seconds into his beat i knew who i had to pick. Truth.

mox - this beat is good you got sum good stuff but like has been said i think a diff snare maybe a kanye style clap but this could be a chart hit with the right vocalist on it no doubt !
cold - ahha this is more like it bit of a banger ! this is probably the best beat ive heard from you so far you got my vote !

 

[Cleverwon]

Ayo Cold that shit is tough. REal hard beat. I like it.
