The Beat Melee Battle #12: Gun Clappin Tracks
Published Wednesday, May 07, 2008 6:00 PM
BeatDynasty.com
We're back again for another go around.  Last week was sick....so sick that many of  the comments weren't official votes, but just flat out "Big ups" to all the participants.  What votes were counted revealed Masque Anonymous to be the winner in a slim margin.  All three producers did their thing as this might have been the best battle of all.

This week we asked for the roughest toughest gun clapping beat you could pull off your hard drive.  We're not gonna lie, while most of the beats were tight, they weren't quite ready for the gun fight.  Most of them were ready for the water gun fights.  But musicially the entire submission group is bringing the heat, we were just looking for something harder edged for 50 and Gunit for example.

That being said, peep the submissions for this week and decide which way to vote.  After this week, we are going to call back some of our previous winners to do an all out playoff style Melee.  Stay tuned.

"Who Want It" is the nicest beat. The West Coast track started nice but after a while it sounded like a broken clock.

vega_diamond said:

I think they should do this again. thelast on would be tight if it had some heavy hitting drums mixed in with it. so I think I may have to go with the 2nd one.

I move to the west coast this weekend.... I hope this isnt the best they have to offer over there....

I really want to say that this is a very weak competition. One dude says his and engineer lol. Putting a  comp. on your track doesn't make you an engineer. People please step your game up. I really don't blame the producers. I blame the people who pick the beats. You are not helping hiphop by showcasing half done music. Yes I can speak because i know what i'm talking about. Producers get your ears  arent trained. Your tracks aren't done. No hate.....just a heads up

Mysterygrimms said:

None of these tracks go hard. But to be fair to all the contestants. I'll pick B.H.B. (Compress those drums though)

@kalada

I feel what your saying. I'm not sure if beat dynasty is really showcasing the best talent or more so some of the producers that are submitting their beats to them. But I won't go any further cause then i'll get and here "I'm a hater" type comments which are unproductive and not needed.

Real Talk Productions said:

I'll go with Intrigue....it was the only one that sounded like it was finished.

@kalada & mystergrimms

Yeah, this was a subpar week compared to the some of the previous weeks.  I'm not gonna bash beat dynasty though b/c it's probably tough picking the contestants....we all like what we like and maybe these were the "best" submissions to them.  Everyone in here believes they are hot....you shouldn't even be doing it if you don't believe that!

But to quote Common..."If I don't like, I don't like it that don't mean that I'm hatin." lol

@ Mysterygrimms & Real Talk Productions

I know that underground, undiscovered hiphop has more to offer. Not knocking the dude's music up here, but when do we start to taking critism as a source of insipration and stop taken critism as hate. I would rather 10 people say i suck and why then have 100 people say I'm hot just because. You feel me. We need to grow and get out of this, "Your a hater cus you dont like my shit" NO, I just dont like your shit and here is why.  I HATE TO LOVE AND LOVE TO HATE HIPHOP sometimes.

@ kalada

No doubt, I definitely feel ya.  I submit here all the time and I haven't made it...it only makes me go back to the lab and work harder.  Now I must admit some weeks I felt that I should've made the cut and you gotta kinda have that chip on your shoulder (like you know your hot) when you're in this business.   I'm not gonna say that just b/c u don't like my shit your a hater...you just wasn't feelin me on that one.  I feel ya though...cats need to realize everything you make isn't gonna be a hit.  I don't have any "yes men or women" around me.  If everyone feels the beats submitted weren't up to par for one week...we should just fall back for that week and go back to the drawing board.

You know how sensitive artists/producers can be sometimes...

Glad to be featured, just want to say big ups to the competition.  Thanks for the luv, and the hate too for that matter.  It's not much hate, but I'll take it.  lol  I can't wait for the "playoffs"  Stay tuned....

John the Phenomenon said:

Ok, first off I have to say is I respect these dudes tryin to make beats and tryin to get make hits. BUT some of these dudes I think really dont know what they are doing. I have been makin beats for about a year or so now, and I have to say that some of these beats give me headaches. They sound good for 1 sec. and then i am wondering where did it go or where is it going. Call me what you want but I know good tracks when I here them, and some of these that have been on here lately are BOO BOO!! If you have been doing tracks for over a 2 or 3 years and you still dont know how to GET IT RIGHT than you need to change hobbies.. A 15 min beat is only gonna get you 15 min of fame.. REMEMBER THAT!! Anybody can make beats.. Its the time in effort you put into the beat that is gonna show at the end of the day.. Plus I dont know how some of these wack producers can listen to their wack beats and think that it is tight. The truth hurts but someone has to tell it like it is, because if you dont they will never step they game up because they are satisfied with what they are doing.

I vote for WHO WANT IT?

I want to see a real competition.. Some of these is like an NFL team going up against a Pop Warner team. They are not even on the same level.

I VOTE NOB'L IT IS DA HOTTEST. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR MORE FROM NOB'L IT NEED TO BE ANOTHER ROUND

D.I.C.E. said:

Hands down Intrigue had the dopest beat. But for this challenge my vote is gonna have to go to B.H.B, jus bcuz it had a more gritty sound to it that fit the challenge for this week.

B.H.B.
You shoulda used a different piano or a different octaive or somethin' bcuz it kinda gets hard to listen to after a while. and the gun cockin sound gets a lil irratatin' too, maybe it would be coo if u just used it for the hook. i know what u were tryin to do so i aint mad at u tho. Its still a pretty good track

@  vega_diamond

Welcome to Cali, Be careful wit that hat tho ma nigga, 4real...

True. Thats why i'm saying i'm not really sure... I know I submitted my stuff, maybe my material is not good enough or i'm submitting at the wrong time or the wrong type of material for these battles.

I know there is better and I have heard better in the past weeks by far. No disrespect to Beat Dynasty or the Contestants this week. Just voicing my own opinion. No matter, good job B.H.B. for this weeks battle.

@kalada

I agree with you fam. Subjective Criticism is important and I personally think, is needed, to know where one needs to develop more and to know where one has improved. Everyone starts from the same position (the bottom) usually. Like I previously stated i'm not hating, just confused.

@Real Talk Productions

You basically summed up the way I feel about it. I have sumbitted every week myself and kinda shocked I haven't made the cut, but I also understand people have different styles and tastes when it comes to music (not just hip-hop). But some weeks i truly wonder to myself 'Are these the best beats that were submitted?' Anyways... time to get off the soap box.

first beat was ok, bass line was tight but redundant
third beat the gun cocks was tight at first but, again, it got redundant

noblproductions:
50 wouldnt take this joint. Its cool but its so clean that it couldnt possibly be considered grimy! It sounds like 1 of those 'hip hop beats' in the car commericals they air nowadays...the sounds are so...factory...

Intrigue (Trigue Vision Productions):
This joint just has it all. The drums are crunchy, the pattern is hardrock. The sounds are where they need to be...and the break downs are money....yo this is stoopidity at its finest kid...Intrigue...LOL...my thunns name is Intrigue The verbal architech....yo this is crazy none the less. This 1 got it so far...

B.H.B.
dark piano....eery strings...gun cock...man I hope this joint has a break down annnnd....it doesnt...it just keeps on going and going....clang clang clang clang...damn man, your werent thinking break down? you should've. I can hear the entire G-Unit on this joint though, and I can also hear it on a mixtape not an album...and theres too many drops on it dog...we got it, BHB productions, lol...feelin it my nigga...

I got Intrigue productions on this one. it was TOO complete.
it had enough swagger to stand alone as an instrumental, pause, and it sounded like 50 would take it for himself.
BHB just didnt break down, it just keep clanging away with the piano even though I felt it, I could hear banks go off on that shit easy...nob'l was just "cookie cutter" sounding, I'll check your myspace out cause I can tell thats probably not your best beat by a longshot. joint was cool, but it was mad dull and plastic sounding.

*and AHH/beatdynasty, ya'll niggas said hardest grittiest etc etc not send a beat you could see G-Unit on! you said early geto boys and some other shit... ya'll niggas got 50's picture up and shit, LOL...c'mon, Im from beach 13th & mott ave nigga, The fuckin Q-Boro. I do that shit in my sleep. make that shit more clearer for niggas yo and I got you...and I hope niggas holla at the kid for that playoff shit ya'll talkin about...sounds like fun...Im wit it...
