Not Rated Notes:

There seemed to be a loop (beat) in there that was short. It seemed like the loop ended early causing a slight pause at the end of every other bar.

Not feeling the reverbed pizzicatos or whistle sound ...

Bass line and beat worked pretty good tho..



Merz Notes:

This is one of the illest beats in this compo... No complaints.. I know it's sampled but I can't fight the funk on this joint.

My vote goes to Merz.

Chase: Your beat is real nice. If I had a criticism, it would be that low plucked instrument. It seemed a little loud and out of place. And I probably would have chosen another instrument altogether.

Merz: That change up at the hook was the clincher for me. Like I said in the first round, the body of the beat is OK, but the break down is just HOT.

yeah that's the only strong part of the beat, the plucked part doesn't do it as a hook for me, too repetitive, but he takes it (merz that is)

Merz joint just a way better beat. He could have done a lot more earlier with the beat with such a dope *** sample. The verse portion of the beat should have been spiced up a bit.

Not Rated - I think this beat is weak. Production wise it's very simple. The melody isn't very good. I love breakbeats but I wasn't feeling the drum programming. Layer it up. This is definitely amateur work.

Merz - I almost want to say this is a unfair battle. This beat has everything the other one didn't have. Nice rhythm, energy, a catchy hook. Plus this sounds like a song and not different sounds all playing together. Nice on the production.

I guess I am a sucker for raw beats but I found that not rated has a real gem of an amateur sound, almost east coast like, merz had a sick beat too but all in all it just didn't move me it seemed too plain jane I guess, not rated still has a few kinks to get out but, I think he created on hell of a madley and there for I am going against the norm and pickin Notrated for this round, good luck man

It goes like this:

Not Rated- You still need to polish that production some. I personally like "clean" style beats though, for that east coast style, I assume you would be doin fine if it was just a bit tighter.

Merz- Damn! I mean what more do I have to say? This is my favorite track on this site......including that trax that I have submitted. (I got some other trax 4 ya though!)I know that is a bold statement, but just quality of production from top to bottom. It's done!
I love the guitar and string hits....I like it all!
Nice.

Vote- Merz

PRÃ

Uninspired creation is just noise......so choose to deliver what your soul enjoys!!!
