This GIF is great. Was laughing at Di Caprio. Pissed myself at the dog. Did not expect another. Also a great representation of how that bass made one feel.
bro, when I first used it I thought it was just Ned and Fry... I then came back as I saw Leo appearing.

It wasn't until after someone reacted did I come back and realise there were like a million others :ROFLMAO: sat there watching expectantly wondering who would be the last

There was a couple of the losers brackets where I was like 'i really don't know where to vote', both beats not meeting the theme, and also being equally poor.

Finding the themed Warzone interesting --- 'cause you're laying two beats up side by side and going "who sounds more like the theme", before considering whether it's good or not.
It's quite different to voting a Beat This where you just browse through, skipping the non-themed and the poor then seeing what ones left over hit well. This is like "Beat A, Beat B, which hits the theme. Which is good/better."

Find it quite interesting when it's a producer theme, because I think it becomes less subjective; a theme like 'emergency' can be interpreted various ways and depends on the listener too... but a producer theme, you're talking matching rythymic, stylistic, musical, and mix qualities/characteristics.
In this instance "does this sound like DJ Premier made it" "would this fit in a Preemo playlist".

There's a handful in there for me that meet on some or all of the points.
Maybe like 6 that hit a distinguishable DJ Premier element, maybe 3-4 that do it quite well, maybe 2 or 3 that are quite convincing.

Good luck

There Is a 100% Preemo beat (a dope beat) against a litle less Preemo, dope as well. I can't vote right now beacause (at least at the moment) I feel so much the second beat and I can't doi anything "against" It. Judgement suspended, coming later.

back in my like... extra edgy days I'd have instances where I'd be so histrionically disgusted with the pair, I'd vote for none as protest.
