afrique this is the only beat that made my head bounce. and i think that is, in the end, what a good beat should do. N1ce

[Streetwize]

listenin to afriques...ill piano, bass is nice, drums are aiite, seem a little bit thin, damm those strings are incredible, and those string hits, damn...this shit is hot, just thicken up those drums cos they are mad thin, love the atmopshere given off

listenin to maxs....melody is tight, crazy melody, voices are nice, waitin for the drums to drop....ewww, these drums are horrible, completely ruins the mood, way too strong for this melody and vibe u givin off..


nice battlr

vote-afrique

 

[Loose Cannon]

afrique's is big and deep it switches up. I love it.

max, the drums dont fit very good with the beat. But the beat was good until the drums

 

[Cleverwon]

Afriquedeluxe - Head bouncer man... I'm feelin that track.

Maxveritech - Drums are hot. Recognize the sample, but you used it differently. I wouldn't mind hearing this track in a nice sound system. Shit would thump.

Cleverwon ProdukshunZ vote - Maxveritech

 

[petediddy]

i cant vote for these beats...

both dont really do it for me... i would be lying to say one is better...

Afrique - you're indeed tryin' to hard on this one... i would like to hear more though, will peep your soundclick pape to give you more of what i think...

Max- the rhodes sample had me for a sec... is that you on the keys or is that a Bob James sample? Anyway i has there until the drums came in, they are over compressed and dont match, nor does your bassline. I think it a matter of mixing and rythme. The track can still be saved...

it's all love when it comes to critiquin'!

 

[StressWon]

Arique- I always liked your stuff man,,this track wasnt a favorite though ,,even though it has HEAT!

Max- I like this one alot,,,,more my style i guess

Max-Gets my vote,,,dam these votes are killin me!!!!!!

 

[Ash Holmz]

i thought boith beats were nice..

afrique - felin the mood... and the enrgy of the beat.

max - i like the mood but i kinda lost interest in the beat... dont get me wrong its hot i just thought afriques beat aroused the emotins a lil bit mo

 

[nas2000xl]

afrique: very nice & well put together. i like!

maxveritech: took too long to drop the beat but i`m feeling it.

 

[afriquedeluxe]

am finishin sumtin off on ma 5string acoustic guitar(dnt ask wat happened to da 6th, lol) i shud hav it ready soon but i jus dnt kno whether i shud switch da beats or not if im 2 go thru 2 da nxt roun.

 

[WingsOfAnAngel]

afrique, if you have any filler beats, then i'd recommend you to switch.
but if not, save the best beats for various cds and compilations.
don't waste heat on a battle.
keep on the great job guys!
this battle was interesting.
both beats are off the hook.

 

[afriquedeluxe]

yep. ive thought long enuf 2 decide. if i do get thru to roun 2, am switchin up.

 

[JBE]

afrique - i was really feeling pretty much everything except for the sounds that were used (especially for the piano and bass). it sounded a little too sterile for my personal taste. and the vocal sample got on my nerves after a while. still pretty fucking good.

maveritech - i guess i'm one of the only people here who thought the drums worked with the rest of the track really fucking well. hypnotic as hell, was really feeling the loops. had a dope overall atmosphere.

vote- maveritech

 

[Ash Holmz]

damn dead heat!!! this was a good battle!!

 

[StraDivaRius]

good battle and afriqueDlux had a nicer soundin beat i think

Stra's vote: Afrique

 

[Louie Lou]

afri - dat wuz good cuz...

max - it wuz alright till them drums kicked in...I don't think those drum where for that loop.

 

[maxveritech]

mad beat afrique!

hey afrique, yikes, talk about a hard battle up front! but yeah mate, you came with a nice beat bud - a bit different to my style, but it definately had me getting into it off the bat.. good luck mate if you end up coming out on top!

cheers to everyone for the criticism and comments, all appreciated!

 

[peripheral]

Afriquedeluxe: I like 99% of your joints..this one included. Although, I don't think it's your best...It's still hot.

Maxveritech: I gotta agree with petediddiy on this one....the Rhodes had me..until the drums hit.

My nod goes to Afriquedeluxe.

This one is close!!
