Warzone Beat Battle - November 5-9, 2024

[Fade]

@K-waz Nobody was not voting for you because of some sample. You got plenty of votes each round.

Congrats @radinbrmusic . Overall, I think you had the strongest beat. Really dug that blaxploitation vibe.

@K-waz i never heard 50 and kid whoevers version either. You know how many times I sample only to hear the same sample on somebody's record? Even 90s record im like "oh damn". The fact is, everyone is sampling the same ass shit. I can guarantee there's cats on the ILL who sample andre Navarro from youtube. Youtube sampling is coo but remember, a million other bedroom hobbyist are flipping the same shit. The saturation is ridiculous. A million fucking beat makers. A million mediocre mfs with sloppy drums all sippin tea and nodding their heads with hipster vibes making their sp404 stutter. Even the ILL, its full of meh beats. I digressed little, but yeah. If you dont want these sample geeks calling you out, try digging for vinyl. You'll find tons of deep cuts that youtube doesn't even have.

Kwaz, aside from the sample choice, the beat sounds authentic. All the other "boombap" sounds like McDonald's advertisement music trying to appeal to urban Americans.

BTW Andre Navarro is a true legend and I love sipping tea...

@K-waz I definitely voted for you, thought that shit was ill and I had never heard the 50 and Kid Cudi version. Was never super into the mainstream style artists save a few, so theres a gang of songs/beats that I would have no knowledge of.

Yeah, pretty close to that beat but yall....this is kinda the nature with sampling. Most of the time you're gonna hear someone use some shit that you've used before. Whether it be an established artist or us here on the ILL. Yall forreal cant tell me that youve never sampled something that someone else did with using the same chops and found out later. It happens, happens often. Happens amongst the signed producers as well. Of course, there is a fine line between blatant biting, but I wouldnt say that that was the intention here - especially with @K-waz track record.

Shit happens yall. Sometimes our ethereal antennas receive the same signal as others which lead to similar ideas. Very rarely will people be the first.
