Got it in! Hope the mix is halfway decent. Rushed this one.

I’m sure it’s a banger!

Votes in already.

A couple of beats in there I think hit the DJ Premier feel

Well done to those who did. And respect to those who tried

 

[Tiny Chops]

Voted. Didn't manage to get something in on time. There's 3 or 4 release quality beats in there. Props to everyone and bigger props to those who don't normally vibe with the Preemo style.

Some bangers in here for real! I think even some that may have missed the exact Premier feel, still have tons of soul and are great beats in general.

 

[Iron Keys]

due to the positioning of certain beats, I think Fade also knows which ones really hit the mark.

 

[BiggChev]

Some of these match-ups are hard to chose.

A few of the match-ups there's a beat that doesn't quite hit Premier feel perfectly but it's more on theme than the other...but the other is a better beat in general, or mixed better.

Will need to think about these for a bit before finalizing my vote.

same. changed my mind even and still possible in one vote at least. I agree that there are a couple of beats that are more in theme than the others and could be tha final cuz they are both dope despite the theme.

 

[DJ Excellence]

Just voted. A lot of solid beats, but not all match the theme, as some have said previously.

 

[attila]

nice entries @Stan1 and of course @them

Dat PreemoTrap

My initial plan; in the event I couldn’t get something together, was to just submit a straight up heavy metal riff ad nauseum for 2 minutes straight lol

One had some bass note that had me going...

In This Battle I have focus my Beat Battle Project on the style of chopping that DJ Premier use in his style of music.

Yes! Also, some of the cuts and scratches were a bit offbeat, but I respect the effort.

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.

I'm convinced that I've guessed what your beat is (which I like), and I feel pretty confident only about two others (the hints about @them 's beat are really heavy). Then I'm often surprised by the results.
