A little different one this time:

Re-mix a classic!

Choose ONE beat of your liking, download its original samples and re-mix it.
You may give it your own touch and feel, and re-arrange it to your liking, add scratching, synths etc.

Use what you´ve got.

Best re-mix (most votes actually) wins!

DEADLINE IS THUESDAY MAY 28th 6:00pm EST

Hit me with Feedback, questions, etc.

Edit: Made the rules a little more clear

Good idea dude...gonna have a pop at one of these tonight...prob shook ones

Very cool idea.

you mean re-flip? or try and make the song sound exactly like the original?

Re-Make the beat with what you've got, and what your allowed, re-mix.

Great idea

A very dope idea Couldn't see it listed on the rules but is scratching allowed?

Updated the rules so its a little more clear;

Re-mix it with what you´ve got, if you want you can give it your own touch and feel, you might also re-arrange it if you want.
Scratches allowed.

good idea, but like a few others here, i'm still confused as to what to be listening for when JUDGING... i mean is the point to make it sound as close as possible to the original song [almost identical] or to just use the same samples and make something completely different? because people need to know from the start in order to submit accordingly... if not the votes are gonna be all over the place if no one knows what they're supposed to be ranking by...

you´re right, I was a little unclear, and I guess "Re-mix" is more the right word, and not "Re-make" as I wrote all over the place, as "Re-make" would actually mean to copy the original and make it sound exactly the same, and all submitted beats would sound more or less the exact same, not so cool.

Re-mix the beat based on the original samples, give it your touch and feel, re-arrange it, add scratches/synths etc. as you see fit, but the samples from the original beat most be present and audible in your version.

Will update the original post so that the rules are a little more clear to everybody.

^ - Naturally presumed you meant make your own with the same samples. Was thinking it would have been nice to only have 1 choice, gonna have to do 3 beats now and pick the best. Going to be a busy couple weeks.

Looking forward to the result, should be interesting.

congrats on the win goof..

and the battle change up is fresh. thanks for dropping the original samples with tracks. propers to you...

i've been busy lately, havent been able to mess with the music. looking forward to gettin down with you guys again.

Count me in
