they've all changed since we started posting ST & NA tracks. guys on here originally decided to use tracks we posted on the first week of the month. we have 5 tracks up there and we'll probably change them ever 3-4 beat battles where the tracks are used.

yo the man is back what`s up long time no hear my man. by the way nice bheat tape.

[Coel]

Upping the sample to the drop. I'll shave the filesize down when I can get back to the house. That's a big ass mp3!

[TroN]

I mentioned this in the last voting thread.

Voting should be FRIDAY AND SATURDAYwith the new beat upped on SUNDAY.

I'm sure votes would double.


Just sucks cause i listened to most beats last week and didn't get a chance to vote in time!



Just an idea....

[Coel]

Yeah, we've tried it a bunch of different ways. Used to be saturday voting with sunday posting the new sample. Then there was the friday and saturday voting with sunday posting. I think there was even a thursday and friday voting with saturday posting. It just seems like there will never be a bunch of votes no matter how we slice it.

you should check with an official befoe they delete it, i think the file is too big to be automatically reduced by the drop

[Lord Dubious]

New beat dropped, on the dancehall tip this week.

Totally missed the boat on voting last week but it does seem beside the point for most, but which is pretty ok if you ask me. More about creating!

that's sort of how I felt. Monday is pretty much the only night I have to myself to do beats, and I was out of it yesterday... =( Too many hobbies, still others are music related at least. =) These battles are good exercise, I sort of treat it like homework when i'm not into it or not feeling the vibe.

[JoshuaTree]

I was feelin this sample a lot better than my tournament sample..."My little tea pot".

yeah it`s like going to the gym you really don`t want to but it`s good for you . this sample just didn`t have the sounds i like to dig for. but i`ve learn something every battle.

it`s just not my cup of tea i like really well arranged work with lots of sounds i`m really a jazz head so that where i go for my sounds. at least you got to post one i`ve never won a battle i`ve been sitting on my sample for a year now lol
