B Ward - Nicely done beat. I personally like samples in hip hop tracks but with certain limits to how much is sampled. This sounds good. However, I think this whole style of orchestra beats is played out. Most of them have a "pompous" feel to them that I think is kinda corny. I don't mind it in movie scores but as hip hop beats I'm sick of em. I'm down with orchestrated sounds when used as one element of the beat and not the main focus (check Dre/Truth Hurts "Crooked Cop").

Pray - I'm all for melodic beats. This has a nice mood to it that I like. There doesn't seem to be much progress within the beat though. That could be covered up a bit by some active vocals though to give it a bit more energy.
Not bad.

I go with PRAY
