Two thumbs up to the Mardi Gras beatoff.
+1 in favour of the idea of anonymous presentation of the contributions.
Wish I could participate myself, but I'm too busy with my 3 month old daughter right now.
big up homie, u got your hands full at the moment bro, all the best to you and your fam, taking care of baby buisness
looks like i'll be the only one up in here repping denmark, still trying to decide on which one to sample from, tappan zee or the columbia, none of them being anywhere near mint haha
Tempted to have a go at this, it looks fun. Last time I did a strut beat thing a few people said they preferred my Nas remix and Possum Tom replied by saying that he thought my drums sounded "like they were recorded in a coke can" haha.

that must have hurt your feelings. what was that? like... 7 years ago? do that shit, dude. who cares what i think.
I cannot wait to hear all of these and to have downloads. There are some really talented dudes on here that can bang out beats with the very best in the business. Things like this "competition" along with Soul Strut 100 is what really makes this place special for me.
Reminder that 8/11 beats are due for the beatoff! I have PM'd everyone the details for the contest, check your mail. See the first page for the guidelines, plus read the PM carefully!
maybe make them available for download after the contest?
not sure if anyone cares about their beats getting jacked or not...imagine a beat jacking in a beatoff...is anyone going to care if their beats end up on some Mac Miller type ish in a year from now?

I am actually only entering this competition to attract teh attention of beat jackers.
anyone listen to the beats submitted thus far? i was going to but i thought it would mess up my progress on what i was cooking up...
i was surprized to see only two uploaded, i figured there would be more, s'all good though loads of time still i guess! pretty stoked to hear what people come up with...
I listened to the two already. Didn't fuck me up, just showed me how completely different these beats will be. I couldn't even figure out some of the samples in those beats. I was listening on a phone, but still. This is going to be interesting.
I have some sketches, but I'm in the last few days of my summer semester in grad school, I work full time, and our 2.5 year old has decided that sleeping in her room sucks. We've got a 6 month old too. I also have made a beat in years. I'm going to try to knock something out in the last few days, but this old man is not conditioned for this stuff these days.
so hung up on this bassline yo, i had everything completed and ready to upload days ago....there is sumthin about the bassline i have now that is just weak, it needs more smirnoff or sumthin...
To anyone who might have your track ready now, please upload it. I have a feeling there'll be a logjam at the last minute, so if it's ready now, load it up now. Thanks!

Thanks. I actually started sneaking in some nighttime hours for a Mardi Gras beat. We'll see how it goes. I'm having fun anyway.
The_Non, put me on the "maybe" list...
Cue burnt snare fill FTW

Would it be completely inappropriate to suggest that the uploaded mixes should be downloadable?

Besides, what's a beat off without a jacking?
