My submission is called "Battle Beat 1."
You can't miss it; it's the only track on the page.
Anyway... This beat is a definite ol' school head banger.
And, no, the drums are not a sampled loop.
That being said, you can check it out at:

Smooth L Notes:

Tight drums.
Good bassline...
Good production..
Head nodder...



Amen

Good production
catchy. I like the switch up on the beat...



I think Smooth's joint has the edge here. The sample on Amen's beat is little too repetive.

Vote: Smooth

Vote: Smooth

Both beats needed a little more development but Smooth's seemed a little more fluid.

Even though Smooth L's was a little too old school for my tastes, I'm going to pick his. Both beats were well produced, but Smooth's sounded more professional.

Smooth L - Cool little beat. Not too much progression though. I like the odd snare. It's alright.

Amen - Ahhh, I like the warped samples. I think you should add more to the beat. You can keep it simple but maybe some really minimal tones in the background or something. Maybe just some looped sound/noise to fill out the space. Not too much progress in this beat either...

I go with Amen for the weird sounds.

why? because from start to finish this catchy tune kept my head boppin, was it super complex and technical???? no. But I think the drums were tight and the mood of this beat was right on target

smooth l your beat was good too but kinda laggin, I was all for the other beat because I found it so uplifting, as soon as it hit I wanted to start rapping

so there you have it
I'm a sucka for the east coast

My take on this one.

Smooth- I thought it tight and really full. Nice non sampled beat.

Amen- I am just not feeing this one, it's put together well enough, and I know lots of folks dig that style, but I aint one of em. On every 4th bar you snare sounds off with the music as well. Nice panning and depth though.

My vote: Smooth

Thanks for the love, playa.
However, I must tell you that I did incorporate some sampling. I just said the drum loop wasn't sampled. Actually, the whole track's about 50/50.
But I'm glad you liked what you heard.
Thanks for the vote.

I appreciate your statement, but I already knew that some of the rest of the track (besides the pattern of the beat) was sampled material. Thanks for keepin it real though.
