    Beat This! - November 22-23, 2017

    I wishing I would've had more time to put together a beat for this one... Only 5 competitors, smh... Tried using the sounds in a beat I've been working on, but it didn't sound the way I thought, oh well... @MacTilla Beats Had my vote! Well put together... Digging the progression too @DEEZ...

    Miles Davis - "Blue in Green"

    Ok, just gave em a listen... @2GooD Productions Not really hearing "the sample," but the beat is dope... Digging the subtle horns in the background @Kung-Fu Flavor Dope! Simple beat, but I like the way you chopped the piano, and the horn sample sounds nice too... Just need someone to spit some...

    Attack of the Beats! - Battle #135

    @Fade Yea... I find getting the 808 or sub-bass at the right level is one of the more difficult challenges when mixing. It's like you want it to be loud enough to thump, but not too low that it sounds weak... Its hard to find that happy medium. But yea that beat was sent in for Beat This...

    One Way - "Cutie Pie"

    @Edgar Beat's kinda dope... ;) I'm not really into flipping "funky" samples like this, but I might have to give it a try now. You've inspired me... Plus you're the only one thats attempted to flip it, I can't leave you hangin' Just gotta finish up that Russian sample flip and then I'll give it a...

    Beat This! - September 27-28, 2017

    Aww... U guys are sooo sweet! hahaha lol Thanks!! If anyones interested in what I did with the sample... I slowed the original sample down by 5 bpm (i think) just to get it to a tempo that I'm a lil more comfortable with... Then I slowed that down by half and used it for the intro and main...

    Beat This! - September 13-14, 2017

    Finally got a chance to listen to some of these beats... @DEEZ BEATZ Nice beat as usually... :up2: Mixing sounds really good, the beat is structured nicely too. I like the way you strip it down, and then build everything back up towards the end @Rodas The melody/harmonies in your beat were...

    The Montclairs - "Dreaming's Out Of Season"

    @S3oulC1ty Not really hearing a hint of reggae... but the way you have the chops arranged sounds good, bassline goes along with it nicely :up2: Here what I came up with...

    Ashford & Simpson - "Is It Still Good To You"

    I must confess... I didn't listen to anyone's beats, didn't want ur beats to influence what I was doing, but I did listen to @Fade, bc it's so rare that he actually flips something for us. The pitched down vocals sounded nice... Here's what I got. Chopped up the piano only from the intro, added...

    King James Version - "I Told Jesus"

    @Joe I'm assuming ur directing that comment to me... I don't remember exactly, cuz I made that beat a while back, but I think the piano was part of the sample too... and I prob layered it with another piano :) FYI When posting u can type @member name or quote a post to direct it to a specific...
