I like the idea of picking 2 completely different tracks to increase the amount of tools we have. Would you guys rather make it a battle or a showcase? After seeing the response from this thread, I have the feeling that a battle would be a little too intimidating for most, although I'd be down.


Thats cool. I dont think it should be as intimidating as an actual "battle" because we wouldn't be choosing a winner. It would just be a compilation, but more "riddim" style if you know what I mean. I just thought that this proj might have stalled a bit since I haven't heard much recently and that maybe a few more restrictions could make it easier to grasp and get into. But if everyones is still doing stuff lets finish the original idea and maybe try the other idea next time.

Please keep note that its always competition amongst us brothers of the 500, but really friendly competition. Ppl are gonna pick a favorite, so bring out the guns. I heard ssnedden's sh*t and its some good sh*t! This sh*ts gotta drop soon, its been a year of yapping already. Who's gonna take the weight?

Use this board to call duties. Use this board to say things like "I rap and want a beat to rap over" "I want to collab on a beat", etc...

yo, excuse my ignorance as i havent read the whole post... but what is up with this project? what are the submission details... like are we having mc's on the tracks? or are we all flipping a certain sample or something? someone should start a new thread, just to make a fresh start cos i noticed this thread is old.

good idea though ssnedden lets get some shit happening!!! we all make music, why not all direct it and get a project done

Someone is welcome to make a new thread if they're willing to share project responsibilities with me. I would make a new one, but I'm still trying to gage our standing at this point.

The idea is simply a dope collection of beats made using the 500 as the main tool. Ideally with produced interludes and transitions. I don't know about adding MCs. I'd be willing to add some but we'd have to find em first.
Glad to see you on board Sinamatik.

I think this mixtape is gonna be monster when it drops. Perhaps for the M.C.s, the ppl of this forum should rhyme on it. Like, if I like a beat from another member, maybe I can get on and drop a verse or two, with their permission of course. Just a thought.
