Gotta roll with the punches, win some lose some, as long as you keep getting back up when you get knocked down its all good and builds character
Best Rocky Balboa quote ever.
Seriously, I get what you're sayin' and I totally agree. But I think it is also a good way to improve to try to get out of our comfort zones and try stuff we are not used to. I think that's what themes are for. I take it more as an exercise to try things out, see if they work for me. At the end of day, I eventually learned something and level up this way.
I don't make particularly agressive beats naturally. I want to try these 1vs1 battles and I am struggling to make kinda aggressive beats specially for these. I haven't submitted to these battles yet because I don't have stuff that fits there.
Also I like both chill and angry beats. Sometimes when a chill one goes against an angry one I feel like comparing carrotts and steaks. I can't really chose. They're both great for their type.
Same goes for boom bap vs. trap. If one is boom bap and the other is trap I will vote for boom bap because that's the type I like... even if it's an average boom bap beat against a great trap one.
I would suggest
@Fade when deciding which beat goes against which to put similar styles against each other so the votes aren't biased. Maybe that's what you do already. These 2 are similar types.
