Kendra sings soul type stuff and she is often sampled for Czarface beats. Godforbid, the lead singer of That Handsome Devil has some skit cameos on Czarface and was in a HipHop trio The Alaskan Fishermen with Thirstin…

on my mac, i installed youtube-dl via brew and aliased it to
yt: aliased to youtube-dl -x --audio-format mp3
so typing yt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVC8KvjSqJs in a terminal downloads the whole thing, converted to audio mp3. then i can chop it up however in ableton. it’s quick and easy.

@Sleepyhead Are there any limitations to the gear we can use, hardware/software for these hip-hop battles? So long as we use the specified sounds?

No limitations on hardware/software you use, besides the fact that you can only use them to sequence/shape/mix/apply fx to the samples provided, you cannot use sounds you make yourself on hardware gear or in software.

I use mediahumans YouTube to mp3 software on windows, it’s pretty awesome and free last time I checked… just as a caveat, I’m in no way advocating piracy here, just a convenient way to grab audio for sampling purposes, when I posted this in another thread it was flag central…

Unfortunately, time has gotten away from me on this one and work has been really been picking up.
I’ve decided that the last three months of the year I’m going to try to work on getting a few tracks together for a little mini-EP (fingers crossed), so I think I’m going to be taking a break from the battles for a bit. Still looking forward to seeing what everyone cooks up! Good luck everybody!

It’s a shame you wont participate, but I’m looking forward to hearing your ep when you finish… will it be sp404mk2 hiphop stuff?

I’m actually aiming for a few original instrumental tracks. A bit of a departure from my battle tracks so a bit of a challenge to be honest.

I’m stoked to see the entries! Wu tang clan is very nostalgic for me. I might try to make something myself but I’ve never made hip hop before haha. I love hip hop but I make completely different music myself.
