Hey, if cats is really down, the battle can run like this:

We can can post 1 PGM file with select sounds in that PGM file (like a drum kit, a few one shots, a few multi samples). Whoever is in the beat battle can only use the sounds that are in that PGM to make the track. That way it really dont matter what sounds or equipment you have access too, it's about how creative you can be with the sounds you are given. I got this idea from an old forum I used to frequent, www.rabid-vibes.com

That's a great idea, we can control for everything but creativity if everyone gets the same pgm.. I will volunteer to be a judge.... obviously, someone here has a big ego, but I don't pay attention to talk, just how u walk....

with all due respect i don't think that beat battles with rules such as these really work because there's more to beatmaking than chopping and/or arranging sounds. to me the whole thing starts from hearing a sound that inspires me to go and make a beat, whether it's a loop or a fat snare, it's all the same. the mpc is all the gear that i use so i've had to sample every sound that i have from wax myself.

it's too forced.

Hell hea thats hot as hell. I love that idea im definately down. Thats similar to how we battle back home except me and the fam just pick the same sample lock each other in seperate rooms for an hour and jugde who ish is the hottest. But once again great idea.

I think the one track to sample idea would work better. If you just pick a random track that people have to make their beat from (allowing them to add their own bass, drums and percussion), its more creative, because you then see which parts of a track different producers use. Limiting the sounds on offer I feel stifles creativity more than it encourages it.

"what the hell is going on out here" ... vince lombarti (ex football coach for green bay packers)

jacpot,

wow 36 post and you are taking over the forum. do they still call b-more brothers "hoppers"? slow your roll alittle brother because you are no dr. dre or kanya. you are just another bedroom beatmaker with some midi equiment. period. all your beats contain the same instruments, you going crazy with the cymbals and that flute must go. i like that fact that you are into your craft but there are millions of bedroom beatmakers that are nicer than you. that is a fact, deal with it and stop calling people out until you get your own sound together.

no disrepect but the truth.

" Don't make me have to call your name out / your snares are featherweight my bassdrums will make you levitate " - a lyrical adaptation from the Mob Deep song Shook Ones.

WTF !!! this is getting waaay out of control! First up why the hell is dude posting battles in a forum clearly titled " MPC2000XL, MPC2000 - TECHNICAL QUESTIONS FOR THE MPC2000XL AND THE MPC2000 ", yo where the moderator at ?

I thought this was the place where real Hiphop heads hang out - Not “ 50 Cent / Don King ” type producers, more concerned about making a name off beef and hype.

That aside I think producer battles are stupid and let me tell you why ...if Timbaland and Premo were in a battle who do you think would win ? ...If The Neptunes and Swiss Beatz where in a battle who do you think would win ? ...If Dre and Jermaine Dupri where in a battle who the hell do you think would win? (sorry folks y’all know the answer to that last one – but you get my point)

Music is an art - making it subjective, as beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

...but hey, if y’all wana go at it - Cool

…and whose to say someone couldn’t get someone else to produce the beat for them!

Y’all taking this e-thuggin way too far. Now I understand why some MPC heads hate PC’s ….cos sitting in front of them and typing makes em go crazy!!!

Shiiiit !

This is starting to be funny. Dudes is now talking about battling is wrong like it is not apart of hip-hop culture. I mean, as far as I remember there is always someone who comes around and is real boastful about their shit, if someone disagrees, then they battle. Whether it be rhymes, DJing, mamma jokes, you battle and the best man wins. I mean this cat is coming into this forum with alot of confidence in his joints. I see alot of cats disagreeing, but now nobody wanna step up and prove him wrong. I mean I can't believe that yall acting like battiling is wrong.....And like black people aint boastful about there sh...... Forget about "post counts" and all that (I personally think that is apart of whats wrong with hip-hop) someone post some sh... and shut dude down if yall disagree so much.

BTW, I editted my post because I do not intend to disrespect anyone in particular. I am just posting my thoughts on what I am seeing.

Again, no disrespect, but I just wanna give some perspective to a commetn that I read. If you were in a room full of producers and Jay-Z walked though the door, looked around the room, looked at you, threw you a disk and said "You, you are producing my next single. But you can only use the sounds on this disk" Would you look at him in the eye and say:

Yo Blakksmiff, I hear what you saying, how ever I didn't actually say it was wrong and your right its Hiphop culture to battle... but anyway that was a personal view coming from someone that has been in and won producer battles myself.

What I'm really sayin is take that ish to the appropriate place, in my view...

Hey ! Set-up a Battle Forum !!

...love peace and hair grease!
