Voting

If you are competing, you will be able to vote but not for yourself. DO NOT TRY TO CHEAT! I will be watching for cheaters. This means you cannot sign up under different names or get your friends and family to sign up either. If you are caught cheating you could be banned.

Voting Criteria

You can use whatever sounds you want, samples, synths, just remember to read the rules for the rest of the restrictions. What the judges will be looking for is originality, creativity, mixing skills and overall dopeness!

Beats

All the beats will now be displayed in a random order and without any names. All you will see is: Beat #001, Beat #002, etc. This is so that there is no favoritism when voting.

Rules

If you're not sure about the rules, read this thread.

If you have any comments, suggestions, or questions about the competition, please post them in here.

 

[Mr_SWADA]

Any genre or it has to be hip hop?

Probably some sort of rnb/hip hop crossover track, says more singing than rapping.
Not house or dance music. That doesnt go down well here.
Its a mission enough finding the right acapella. I have one in mind

 

[Fade]

It always has to be Hip Hop but in cases like this of course there's some crossover.

 

[Mr_SWADA]

Then lets see what i find in my library

 

[Dusty B]

So it's a beat that supports a singer or it needs to have an acapella over it?

Make a beat. Add a vocal track that has mainly singing on it. Done!

 

[Iron Keys]

When it says full song singing does that mean they have to be singing from second 1 until the 4 minutes or can they pause for breath and musicality? Also does it even need to be music or can we submit a painting of someone singing? Maybe as a video file of a still painting that lasts 4 minutes?

[VVS]

Was going to jump in on the next battle but I don't have the time or desire to find a vocal track. Maybe some vocal chops but 4 minutes of singing?

I'll show you a pro gamer move:

Take withney houstons "and Iiiiiiiiiiiiihhiiiiiiiii" chop it, make a sample out of it, ad a midi melody with slides, add more of the "iiiiiiiiiiihiiiiii" till the 4min are full... et voila... 4min of straight singing....

Thank me later

I thought that's what the battle was, i.e. constant vocal sample A Mili style, but Mister @Fade said the submission need to have an acapella/vocalist over it.

 

[Iron Keys]

MAKE A HIP HOP BEAT

INCLUDE A SUNG VOCAL ON IT (acapella or recorded)

MAKE IT A FULL SONG. (With the singing as the main vocal for verse/chorus)



Why's it always so difficult for folk?

 

[Iron Keys]

I really love this theme. Really shows who's got skills in making a record.

Respect to those who struggle but enter.

Shame on the pussies who are scared to.

 

[Mr_SWADA]

so... i'm exited for this battle

And it's UP TO 4 minutes. It doesn't have to be a full 4 minutes. You can make it 10 seconds for all I care. Maybe even record yourself hitting a note while you squeeze your nutsac really hard.

Does it sound like a song? Or is it just vocal snippets all throughout?
