Beat This! - March 9-10, 2022

[Ozmosis]

I'm curious as to the votes for bangerz when it's not even Boom Bap.

The sample technique sounded rocafella dipset like. Before the drums dropped I could see new era hats and oversized throwback jerseys

I remember juggling this in my head when first listening to it actually.

could be a throwback Luda track.

 

[Iron Keys]

I'm happy with my beat.

Quite surprised no one was feeling it tbh.

 

[Fade]

Yeah but I feel like some votes are not even voting based on the theme. I listened to the entries a few more times, most are not even close to Boom Bap.

What your thoughts on mine?

I already know you're keen on the pitched vox type ish but.

Your beat was def dope and had great chops...it was just that the swing of the hats created a bounce that wasn't boom bap and I didn't hear any bassline. Def a hard beat tho regardless.

Bangerz beat might have been my favorite, but I couldn't vote for it because it wasn't boom bap (to me).

These are classic examples of boom bap (all produced by Premo):

Gangstarr - Mass Appeal


Heather B - Steady Rockin


Royce da 5'9" - Boom

'ppreciate you, brother.

Yeah I was in two minds. I thought it sounded bappy enough to me. Next time this theme arises i'll just go full Preemo (if possible ha.) I was going for that slightly dilla vibe swing.

I just still don't understand some of the votes on here. It's either Boom Bap or not, it's not about a certain style of swing or whether the beat sounds like something you'd listen to while shopping at the dollar store in a seedy part of town. Boom Bap or bust. If no one can tell what's Boom Bap or not, what are we really doing here?

 

[Fade]

Just to clarify @Bangerz8888 your beat was really good, I just don't consider it Boom Bap.

But still, I don't want us to take anything away from @Face Valid and his victory. Well deserved.

regarding mine, and what i voted for... do you consider these boombap?

Not really.

 

[Iron Keys]

Not really.

Damn.

How many in total you counting? (don't have to name 'em)

 

[Fade]

I'd have to go through them again but the top 5 is good. There's a few others that had the theme but just didn't place. I just don't think most people took the theme seriously, just like the previous Trap one. Maybe everyone is going through a midlife crisis right now?

*sheepishly raises a hand*
Ya got me.

decided to have it late then?

Damn. I tried. Genuinely. I was just trying to have fun with my beat, make it a beat for beat's sake. Like battle bap. Heck, I made the effort to do sampling for it too! Beat it all out on the pads!
I made two others before it and ruled them out as 'not being boom bap enough'. So the effort was there.

But yeah, I was a little surprised with the trap one. Maybe a little surprised here? Felt most did try maybe. Feels i dunno. Maybe people over-thought it.

Guaranteed next beat this there'll be pure dope boombap in there by the truckload

 

[Ozmosis]

I hate to say it because Illmuzik is more... But there's nothing better than the aftermath after a 'Themed' Beat This

@Fade imo I do think people are trying their best. This just shows these styles 'Trap', 'Boom Bap', 'Reggae' aren't as simple to make as they sound. When you dont listen to it on a regular basis, It takes some time to get the feel for them.

 

[Vossi Beats]

Wait a minute. My beat wasn't boom bap?
