Yo.... Both beats are dope, well made beats... So its purely down to personal preference. Im gonna go with Psychedelic on this one. Kmo, your beat, as good as it sounds, I could imagine being part of a soundtrack to a movie. It evokes an emotion of anxiety and industry for me, which is great, But Psychs beat I could imagine rapping over it hehe So I went with his.... Also, im judging having not heard the original sample.
Side note.... These Beat Battles, in general, is the goal to make a Hip Hop beat? or is it not genre specific? (Obvs the term 'Hip Hop' in itself covers a lot of different styles etc) So, for example, if I made a Drum and Bass beat or Garage beat that would be fine too, right? Im assuming it would be... Is there a line that after it it doesnt count as 'a beat' per say? I dunno, im jabbering on...
ps. Dope beat granny david too, i sees ya
