Hiphop BeatBattle #43: The Madlib Edition

I’m going to try to participate! I need some motivation to learn my DTII

Limiting myself to exploring only samples from tracks sampled in this album (not much a limit :sweat_smile: )
ETA: I don’t know if I can hold myself to that, just going to follow the journey where it takes me :astronaut:

A little over a week left guys! The battle will close sunday next week. How is everyone doing?

I have a total of 6 tapes in by now, so there’s a lot of beats to be checked out already. The more the better so keep em coming!

I think I’ll have to forfeit, I’m not quite (well, not at all) at a point in my new dad life where I can make music… the little one has put us through some rough evenings and nights lately.

Hang in there, we’ve all been there. It’s very frustrating to give up music during this time, but it will pass.
Personally, I stopped for almost 3 years after the arrival of my second son :scream:

I haven’t started yet as I had to deal with botched windows update on my studiio computer. Everything seems to be back to normal now, so hopefully I can get to sampling tonight. :slight_smile:

Ok, finally got started. It’s gonna cut close as the kids are sick, but I will have something.

Is it too late to send beats in? I finally got something cooking on this last night and have a decent Saturday morning (cartoons) jam going. Trying not to be too precious with it and get it done before noon.

15th is the cutoff . We got time brother. I’m working on mine now too

Shit. I misread that as done by the 15th, not before the 15th. I’m definitely not going to finish tonight.

i think you’re good: “the battle will close sunday”. So you have until the end of sunday is how i read it too.

Unfortunately need to bow out, have 2 beats done for this but haven’t had the time to polish and get into a beat tape format.

Really looking forward to hearing the tapes though!

I see 15th and immediately thought that was the last day for submission, but I am gonna start finishing up now and I’ll send in the next few hours if that’s still ok

No worries guys @Yabba @Doug @flipinfantile @KingDuppy @v00d00ppl ! Take your time, I will put up the voting thread some time tomorrow (monday night here in Amsterdam), anyone who sends me a tape before that is good!
