Whenever you finish your beat you can either post it yourself or if you need help you can PM a link to an mp3 and I will make a youtube video for you and post it here.

Damn, that's dope. Very creative.

Nice beat, love how it slowly zooms in on the whale.

thanks, I had to learn to make youtube videos quick, but photo story 3 is the shit in case anyone else has been trying to do the same thing.

you should put the original sample in this thread for everyone to refer to

btw im diggin the beat

Thanks and good idea Slang, original song added.

You could have used Windows Movie Maker to make the video, that's what I use...unless you have a Mac or some shit.

Additional samples used in my joint:

"Heaven" by DJ Chris
"Chin Check" by N.W.A.
"Fuckin Wit A Killa (OG Version)" by 2Pac
"Light Speed Circle" by K-Rino
"Hittin' Switches" by Eazy-E
Some random bitch saying "I really REALLY hate Pedro"
Some Mexican dude saying "Hi Shaun"
Some female news anchor from a news blooper saying "mmm nice pussy"

JL seems like he put the most effort in, but samples aside and strictly on a beat I'd like to hear rapped over, I gotta go with my man SRP.

I can't hear them at work but when I get home I can't wait to hear these.

I didn't know so many people here made beats

I got conned into it.

Don't know which one to vote for, they all have some nice shit going on.

SRP's got a straight loop, Shaun's got nasty scratches,Norf's loop is dope as well and Linker's got a haunting sounds with dope vocal samples.

I gotta go with Linker. I liked the drums and the main sample, and the vocal samples put it over the top. All of them were good but I think Linker wins this round.

Cosign, but I gotta add, Shona's beat sounded kinda awkward to me. The sound quality sounded pretty bad.

Yeah... I really didn't want to use that sample, so I made it in like 10 minutes and didn't master anything... lol

Appreciate the votes, y'all. I vote for me cuz I'm the shizzz

I'm diggin Norf's beat the most, it's an instant head nodder.

I like most of these beats....SRP your shit was hot..it had a 9th Wonder sound to it

Norf your joint has the old school feel to it that I like

Shaun I like your joint too

But I'm gonna go with Linker in this round

damn i like these all too im still deciding lol

i think im gonna go with SRP's barely over the others, i liked what he did with the sample

Yeah...that was intentional. I first heard that sample when Steady B dropped "Serious". It's my favorite Steady B song even 22 years after it dropped.

Then I took the sample and played it backward.

All of these beats were very impressive guys.

SRP's sounded like it would be the easiest to rap over, while Link's beat seemed to be made for listening to the beat by itself as a sound and sample collage. Shaun's beat was very technical and showcased skill, and Norf's beat was very smooth and reminded me of Beatminerz in a way. My vote goes to Norf but understand that it was a hard decision for me. Really dope shit guys, can't wait for next week.

Linker

Norf gets my vote.

Damn, close one between Norf & Linker. I gave it to Linker because dude made a full freakin' song out of the beat. I liked the original sample, so I was rather happy to hear it was just sped up a bit and not completely dismantled. Nice overall cut.

Ahhh..okay.

I can't listen to SRP or Nor beats. The youtube links are not working.

I just double checked and they both work fine for me.

Actually, earlier today mine didnt stream. But others did.

That happened to me at first. It works. Just click on the video which sends you to the actual Youtube page. After a short wait it finally went, and so did the others.

^^ Indeed

so 11 people voiced their votes and there are 15 votes?

lol everyone except Shaun voted for themselves. So 1 point will be automatically deducted.

well, I declared my vote... there are still 4 undeclared votes somewhere

In that case, I declare mine too...

Likewise...

I'll take Linker. That haunting sound is straight wicked.

Appreciated. Did you vote?

^^ oops, forgot, I just submitted it now.

Good job to all, but for this round, I'ma go with Linker's beat. It just sounds more complete to me, and I'm feeling the extra samples he used.

Peace

I vote for Linker. Even though he said he'd only be using samples from the song...

lies I said "I will only be using samples"...no plug ins, no instruments, just samples smhhh

Voting's officially over. Linker have your rules and sample up by monday.
