I'm not aligned with the popular vote this time. As I said, I like a substantial majority of the submissions, and while I compliment the top of the ranking and have no particular criticisms to make, my favorite beats are elsewhere (and among them, there's not even my own, which, however, didn't look out of place, I think). My favorites are @Coltorki, @Leopard Cohen, @V.J. Retro and @Opium Dave. For the next warzone, I'm afraid there are many super skilled people on the theme, and I think I'm going to take a beating.

Don't worry, its a wildcard...

- some people won't know who tf DJ Premier is somehow
- probably can't correctly identify a Premo beat
- don't have the capacity for determining quality mix/production value
- Will somehow vote for the random EDM House track that gets in.

It's a wildcard.

When you've battled here long enough you know there's a shit load of nonsense results that go down.

I could guarantee you Dr Dre, Timbaland, Kanye could enter and go out in R2 to some weird poorly mixed beat.


There will be times when the results make sense, and those times are great. But also times when they really don't, c'est la vie...

Raise your hand if you've ever been screwed in a battle! (There would probably be everyone at some point)

Enter the beat. Do you best. The biggest payoff is the learning experience

You are wrong. Timbaland would grab the win with a Suno beat because A.I. has more soul than humans.

Yeah. And anyway
 
He means that you always whine about the outcome if you don't place... In fact it's true.

There are a lot of great beatmakers here and to me the outcome is fair. Top 3 were all dope, so stop whining and just congratulate the winner ffs...

And if you want proper feedback, put out some music on SC, Spotify, Youtube etc. Returning listeners will tell if you're on the right path.

Congrats @oninkaf , beat slaps!
Yeah, I can't stand iron keys

I think @Iron Keys has only on logical solution left:

sue @Fade for emotional damage. Just saying.

I was really feeling @attila and @Mike Free Music as well as @oninkaf. Really solid turnout from everyone.

I'll tell you guys this though:

There have been times when I didn't think the top 5 was right, but it's what everyone voted for, and everyone has different reasons why they vote. So whatever the outcome is, I always congratulate the winner, and I listen back to those beats and try to appreciate what everyone else voted for.
