mmm. you know me... I'm sample savvy. But if I happen to come up with some original fire, I know where to post it. After hearing what maori did, I'm just gonna observe this one most likely. Lovin' all the competitions on here though!
It'll do what it do till it done

Thats cool cap.. did you use samples on that 8-bit massacre track you made for the last competition? It didnt sound like it but I could be wrong.. If you change your mind feel free to post away... The reason why I say no samples is because I always like to promote originality..
That and royalties must be payable only to you. It'll make it alot easier as far as copyright laws go.
The main line is a loop. Everything else is me (horns, bass, drums) I usually only use one or two loops then chop and slice them. Sometimes even changing the key. Always playing them out on my controller. To me, my loops are as much of an instrument as someone using a VSTi in FL 8. But, your contest, your rules, and I couldn't be more cool with that (well, I could use a blunt about now. I'm @ work)
But like i said, I've done all original stuff before, you just gotta catch me when I'm in super creative mode... (press up up down down left right left right b a select start to enter super creative mode) rare as that is, it exists. If I make something worthy of entering here you bet your ass it'll be posted.
It'll do what it do till it done

lol... the contra code. damn right... You did good with that track man, I couldn't tell thsoe were samples. I'll revise the rules a little to be more sample freindly.... I can always use another blunt..

lol... damn it
Yo I'm definitely in, I learned a lot from the last contest these guys give worked with everyone in the contest to help take their track to the next level and I'm looking forward to that! It's not easy but well worth it!
thanx djwillief, i cant wait till everyone gets back into the contest , i was really impressed by all the quality work i heard. lets all take it to the next level , to quote djwillief
http://www.myspace.com/kingdattoli
Yeah that would rock! No straight looping. If you gotta loop or sample, rework that shit to make it original, all your own. Cut it slice it pitchshift it reverse it... whatever, as long as its barely recognizable as the original loop. That's my thoughts. just a jump off point for you.
It'll do what it do till it done
You keep it pimp... I'm a keep it gangata!
http://www.myspace.com/1andonlycapricornone
exactly what I was thinking cap. That way its still original
Glad to see your in djwillie.. Lookin foward to hearing what you bring to the table this time.
Hey thanks for the vote of confidence Teddy I'm more than happy to participate cause even If I don't win, it makes me work harder to understand and polish my skillz until I hit that level where I need to be. And people taking there time and hosting contests like this, is something that amateur producers need to help them grow, win or lose! Ya digg!
yo im in and djwillief is right this contests helps to improove the skils and go to a higher level

I know this dont really have anything to do with the competition but djwillie was talkin bout rapping over techno songs.... I dont intend on rapping on this... but I figured I post it here... To let you guys hear what it would sound like if I made techno beats instead of rap.. Let me know what you think.
Just to show you it's all good King D and Teddy B, I made a little something to participate in your contest, I know it's not your style but it's what I do. An honest opinion is cool.
http://www.maketunes.com/audio/problemz
To King D: I know what I'm gonna do with is I just need to find the right sounds now.
Should be ready by mourning AZ time!

http://www.maketunes.com/audio/illumination-dj-checzar
This is my entry to the contest, a slow beat i not usually my thing and so it may sound a bit amateur, but anyway, who cares?! Just let me know your opinion about it.
Here it is. My entry for this here contest. I had to do something now, right? I left this a little raw on purpose so it can be edited to fit the vocals, ie no real fade or ending and its been left in 8 bar hook 16 bar verse format. It can easily be augmented to fit time$' needs... if ya'll choose this one.
The Damn Thing
It'll do what it do till it done
You keep it pimp... I'm a keep it gangata!
http://www.myspace.com/1andonlycapricornone

*This is more then selfish pride, it's the will to be the greatest*
http://www.myspace.com/kingdattoli
To King D:
I'm giving it the final mastering I was doing it on reason but I didn't have two of the refills so I scrathed that one and started working on the the mp3, had a little trouble with the levels but it's almost straitened out, Ill keep you posted!
ok if u needed any samples u shouldve let me know , i could have sent them proly, if not it will proly still be real hot , i cant wait ta hear it , oh yeah it wont count in this contest , because i was involved and i;m a judge. I will write to it though depending on how great it is. I have ta put that in there just in case . I will see if teddy wants ta get on it and if its real nice we will consider it for the new album . so keep that in mind when u make it. i got a shit load of nice beats that just arent good enough for my standards , that I've made . We see how this works out maybe we can work on some more if thats cool with u.

Well done everybody, and congrats Maoribeats you're awesome man!!!
Coolboy in the mix.
I've got to say though, A- Z Production's - Indian Girl was my favourite to win or at least tie with Maoribeats.
Damn! In that case I've been ripped off here! That means I should of been second lol!!
Coolboy in the mix.
wow i cant believe it, thanx again $T.I.M.E.$ its good to know you feel my music, enjoyed everyones beats as well these comps are great fun, cant wait for the vox version make it str8 fire like i know you can $T.I.M.E.$
wow my name was there lol i didnt think i was gonna do this well, i quite proud to be seventh
you were really close to taking in the win a - z... you know we had to let you get up there coolboy..
Maoribeats... I gotta come up with a different prize for you considering you already play guitar its kinda pointless for me to give you guitar samples... Anyways when you get a chance hit me with the beat on my email or make it dldable here for a quick minute.
Thanks Teddy, it was a great competition. You guys did a great job as usual and it was fun taking part.
Coolboy in the mix.
it was fun,LETS TO IT AGAIN LOL!
have made it dloadable bro
cool man.. got it
hey bro whats the bpms to that track? that way I can get the delays down right
Heres the finished version of the winning track everybody..
http://www.maketunes.com/audio/maoribeats-time-head-knock
Az it really wasnt about our style on picking the beat. Maoribeats was the best beat . Your beat was great az along with everyone elses .
*This is more then selfish pride, it's the will to be the greatest*
http://www.myspace.com/kingdattoli
yo king dattoli, this is your competition, but music isnt objective... you may think A-Z's beat wasnt the best, but thats still ur opinion... i really liked maoribeat's beat too, but this competition IS about your style when ur choosing the winner... different people like totally different things, so i dont think u should be talking like you are the ultimate judge of what a good beat is. this was a good competition and i agree with alot of ur choices, but still you gotta respect those are ur choices, not everybodys
I'm happy to be on the list period. I do know one thing though... The next contest is in the bag. Shouts out to maoribeats for another win. Congrats man, but you might be in trouble next round.. HAHA j/k (or am i...?.)
"biggest planet is the milkey way and the smallest planet is death star so dont think your smart"
im not the only judge maximus , plus i just recorded a hook over that az beat . teddy already asked him if we could write over it. Plus teddy was the one that mastered the beat . hes a judge it would have been unfair to everyone if az won because of a beat teddy mastered . In a way az was the biggest winner teddy mastered 7 of his beats or so . took at least 4 hours on each beat . and were still makein a track over az beat. so maximus maybe if u would have went to az last 5 post u would have seen and his last he even said we were writein over it. az is a great beat maker and so was everyone else who particapated .
*This is more then selfish pride, it's the will to be the greatest*
http://www.myspace.com/kingdattoli
BTW, how many contestants were there?
"biggest planet is the milkey way and the smallest planet is death star so dont think your smart"

Check it out everybody a-z and times collabo
http://www.maketunes.com/audio/az-production-time-my-drift
yo kingdatoli,i gave teddy to master 5 beats,he made a great job on 4 and the 5th ain't done yet,and i let him master it cause it is after all going to be on the $times$ cd,so i wanted him to master it as he wanted to,he did it like he prefered,and i said on every beat that i thank him and that he is a mastering king wich is true,he did trully a great job,anyway people think that my indian beat was better but anyway you choosed mariobeats,i'm cool with that,so keep bringin the fire and hope we gonn colaborate on some more tracks...
lol theres plenty more comps & beats to be made AZ!!, honestly i think your beat was better too man more technical & busier melodically (at times a little too busy imho no hate here bro real talk, still good though)but its all good, i dont consider my head knock instrumental to be particularly great, just a simple 8 bar chord progression w a few minor scales over the top, shits fire w $T.I.M.E.S$ on it of course, but its simple as fuck, i didnt put in as much work as i should of, or could of for that matter.
just over a year doing this music thang so progression is the main thing, how long you been producing AZ?
you keep grindin though playa your passion for music comes across strongly bro and thats a good thing peace !!
thanx mariobeats,i'm ok,you are a great beatmaker to,and i've been in this beatmaking for a year now,and yo i don't know even how to play the keyboard yet,that's why when i try to imitate someone elses style like 50 cent or scott storch it still sounds like my own style i can't do any other style lol,i think you have a great potential keep up the good work,hey if you wanna colaborate,holla,peace !!!
your both great beat makers , who cares who won the contest u both made the cd . there will be more contest , plenty of people wanted to be 2nd az and have us rap over there beats . please lets stop this . focus ur energy on makein some more fire guys. your both at the top of ur games and only gettin better .
*This is more then selfish pride, it's the will to be the greatest*
