Type of battle:

- 3rd party picks sample
- 5 day time limit
- sample must be used to a point where it's noticeable but outside instrumentation allowed
- possibly more than a 2 person battle

and I would be down for adding a weird rule like
- has to have at least a change-up or main part with a non-4/4 time signature
- has to change key at some point (if you know what I mean)
- etc... just to make it more interesting. But these are your call. The first three are a must, the fourth is possible and the 'weird rule' rules are up to you.

Challengers?

Just for fun. I mean voting, of course, but I mean no beef, just doing this to challenge myself.

Just to clarify things a little...

There are currently THREE beat battles supposedly happening right now.

One is a four-way face-off between jdavidson, ssnedden, j-tawn and j2kxl. This is a 5 day sample-based battle, the sample was chosen by Doglamp. The rules have been agreed a few posts back. I think the beats will be up on June 5th 2009?

# Song: Warriors
# Artist: Hiroshima
# Album: Odori


The second battle involves Nym who was called-out by Captain Murphy. Each has the freedom to select a sample of their own choosing for this one.

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=115096 .

The rules for this sample-based battle have been agreed in that thread so the beats should be posted on 2nd June 2009 (via myself). A poll decides the winner after the anonymous beats have been posted to rule out bias.



The third battle is being billed as the 'Inexperienced Battle' for those that are relatively new to this.

This one is actually a ten-way sample-based face-off between the following forum members:

Doglamp, drunkmonkey, Explicit, jmessyuk1, J-Tawn, konc3pt, LaJProd, LOKI 77, Ronnieray and SHWELL

This one got started in the 'Off Topic' forum and the rules have been agreed.

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=115253

The sample was chosen by ONE and coincidently comes from the same album (Odori) as the first battle listed above.

* Song: Winds Of Change (Henka No Nagare)
* Artist: Hiroshima
* Album: Odori

The deadline for this one is TODAY 31st May 2009, the beats will be posted in the original thread along with a time-limited poll so be sure to get your votes in early!

Good luck to all, should be an interesting week ahead on the forum!

Nice one for the clarification Clint... it's battle season round these parts eh?! :)

If we could keep the time-limited polls open for at least a week that would be appreciated. That should give the floating members a chance to also vote.
