The Drop containing the sample can be found here


SFT, be sure to use a sample from the Stones Throw collection here

Attention: new rules for this week:

sft, on Jun 27 2009, 12:18 AM, said:

Aight so a bit of a switch up of things this week.

In memory of MJ (RIP) the rules are to use the sample to make an MJ beat. Ie. Billie Jean, Smooth Criminal etc.

Rules still the same as last week as in no outside samples/keys etc. Use ur own drums/bass..

Sounds hard right??

Yip.

Challenge urself. Time to get creative.

Good luck.

-you need to submit a beat or be a member here for at least 2 weeks to vote

SO you should upload your beat to http://drop.io/stmbbattle122 by 23.59 Thursday, July 2nd. Voting until 23.59 Friday the 3rd (all times NYC)

ALSO BE SURE TO CHECK THE FAQ THREAD

Good luck gents!

WOW! This will be interesting. Can't wait.

[Marcosis]

MJ beat? you mean make it sound like something he would use or make it sound like an existing MJ song?

please elaborate...

[Crackpipe Davis]

I'm assuming, take the samples and build a MJ rhythm/melody of your choice.

[laFunk]

Tight! I was already thinking in doing some beats sampling Michael.. this is destiny!

I'm eager to listen to all your beats, will be crazy!!

Zactly.

Cats might choose to recrete the same song but lets see who can make the tightest sounding one.

[AZ the Phonomancer]

Too Many Rules,
"Stop Pressuring me"...

Uploaded Check it.

[Kal-el]

congrats sft!....hmmmmm new rules are interesting as shit, what inspired you to go with the "type" of rules this week sft? besides mj's passing?

[Kal-el]

ha! just listened to the sample......sooo sick, reminds me of something whitetown would do. i dont even want to build an mj joint out of this cuz i hear a gang of different things for this samp.....might have to flip a few and submit the mj shit, and keep a few for myself. nice choice sft!

OOooooookaaay i get it now. So let's be Quincy Jones, isn't it? This is even better than sampling MJ.

[Crackpipe Davis]

Yup. Not only sampling, but this is what people in the bizz call "arranging". So sick.

[ta-ku]

Well we had to switch it up instead of the same ol for the last few months. Getting our Quincy Jones on seemed kinda appropriate to honour MJ in someway. Hope the winner next week takes it in a different direction.

[AZ the Phonomancer]

I won't believe MJ is dead. I bet He got his old face put back on and he snuck away to rendezvous with Elvis and Tupac.

[Friies]

Interesting rules. Please, do not make a beat ignoring SFT's rules! OTherwise it'll be deleted. So people who have been used to the old rules, read the topic before starting your beat.

welcome back ta-ku, hope you still bring the heat !
and sorry for not voting last battle.

[Jewbei (Hot Buttered Fool)]

wooooo!! havent been here in a while now. but in honour of MJ i'll have to come back. so let me get this right, we use the sample on the upload page, and make a track that could have been a MJ style beat? my my my, this gonna be some interesting battle.

not sure if you guys are sick of MJ tracks by now, what with the endless playing of his music on every radio station and music channel, but ive put together a podcast of my favourite tracks. it focuses more on his early stuff, just good music. have a listen if you interested.

Nop, you make a track that resembles an actual MJ beat with that sample. Not a new one, as much as i'd like to listen to another of your original beats !
Listen to AZ's beat, it reminds one or the original "scream"

right?

[Coel]

Had to delete some beats. Be sure to read the rules gents. You must use the given sample to create the beat, not taking a Michael Jackson track and flipping that.

[Nitro Fresh]

I was kinda busy last week to participate.
BUT... this week's battle, I better do what I can to tribute MJ. Fashaw!!!

[quietfolks]

hope that fits the brief! man.... there are some killer ones up!

[Satori]

[Lord Dubious]

Uppsy daisy!

Tried a ting with the dancehall version of "Billie Jean", as made most famous by man like Shinehead.
