Got to go with beatz. Not as good as the first round IMO. Too much of the vocalist in this one,turntabling her in from time to time would have been the ticket in my opinon....I couldn't hear room for a possible Emcee. I don't know how much composing you did over the sample either. Only drum work maybe?

Couldn't get with that electric avenue joint. Just couldn't...I tried....but couldn't!

 

[Icemanbeats]

beatz took it

 

[Producer_GyaL]

Hardboiled, I like it!!!!!! I think the beat is genius!!!! Its innovative.

beatz101 love it too..you freaked the sample once again...

damn..

dunno.

 

[nonie]

not really feelin hardboiled's beat. had to go with beatz.

 

[Fade]

Keep trying. Everything is fine, works on my end and others too. Let me know.

 

[Beatz 101]

I don't know how much composing you did over the sample either. Only drum work maybe?

I did more than you think. lol More than Drums. Those organs n' horns u hear in the verses last 8 bars, the pianos and Bass is all me. Im glad you couldnt really tell, thats the sound i was looking for. Sounds like the sample buts its not.

 

[Relic]

Dang 101 thats sick

 

[ManDAmyth]

I got to take Hardboiled in this one.

This a funky crossover hit! It reminds of some Fatboy Slim shit.

 

[2GooD Productions]

beatz 101 gets it, Im not sure about the vocals in the background apart from that its a pretty sick beat but I hate electric avenue, so my choice is easy.

 

[Vice]

Beatz Kiilllllllled it! This was dope man, good work!

 

[Ash Holmz]

beatz gets the nod but damn man i dont think i can ever hear a beat wit that sample again after the way bink kilt it on that new freeway album ... ill give u a pass though cuz that shit JUST came out this week lol ... naw the joint was tight ...... i was feeling hardbolied joint to it was just abit out of context for a beat battle. its kinda like going to a punk rock party and playing kirk franklin... good music, wrong crowd lol..

Yeah i kno. Bink destroyed it. But since it dropped, i dropped my shit too like fuck it. Cuz i was concerned about all the singin' n' how kats will accept it like "Is it rappable..?". But Freeway rapped ova it, so why can't anybody else after u track it out. This is the third time Roc-A-Fella and i crossed paths this month. Im just glad all my shit sounds different from they shit enuff so its still sellable.

 

[Steel Side]

Damn I like both. I'd have to say that hardboiled's track was an overall better produced track. 101 In my opinion that snare was rather loud. But you did kill that sample.

 

[Beatz 101]

Props to everybody that voted and took the time to peep our beats.


Hardboiled came wit some different shit. It was extremely risky, especially for a battle where there is no time for a beat to grow on you or time to digest what u really heard. Its like u wanna drop ur REAL ahead of its time/crossover stuff you know in your heart is whats next, but most of the time its gonna go over everybodies head. And by the time the battle is over and u take that L, kats think back like "...ohhh dat shit was kinda hot when u think about it...." Or they hear some shit on the radio later and now everybody finally understands where u comin' from.

We should have a Pop/Crossover theme on a Beat This! Comp. I dunno if we did that already this year or what.

way to go beatz 101!!! But i guess I can close this thread by saying that I voted for Harboiled. I got mad love for 101, but as you say, Harboiled beat was totally different. It's unfortunate that it is a hiphop battle with no theme. But I have to say that Harboiled's track is soooo close to what hiphop used to sound back in the days. What you hear today, all those synth and pitched samples are what the crowd is asking for to spit on'em. I respect every style, from yesterday, today and tomorrow. Hardboiled, props for your beat, its genius. This is a beat I know I will have to come back to hear it again. Its not a beat i'll say "its dope" but I'll only hear it once in my whole life.

Ash Holmz, you are interresting.
