after careful consideration, I am going to have to give it to red scare. Overall, I liked tayo's better on the first round, but on the final (and deciding round) I liked the energy that red's track had. the buildups with all the samples are great.

tayo's was nice. the main loop was really good, but when it went into the more minimalistic parts I felt it was lacking something. still, a very good beat.

props guys.

I find both entries to be pretty solid. Went with tayo in the end - the vocal chops and bass loop pushed it over the edge for me.

hard decision. eventually it just came down to which one i liked more on repeated listens and which one i'd rather rap on. Scare's drum's were monstorous but I wanted a stronger sample kinda. Tayo's drums are really subtley dope and it just came out a smidge better to me. Honestly if there was an option for a tie this round i probably would of pressed that button.

I think Red Scares was better. The drums were somethin amazing. I also loved the sample work.

even though both were made extremely well. im a sucker for head nodders. im gonna have to go with tayo on this, mainly cause he was an easier listen. both are dope.

this should be a tie.

both were great.

Red Scare -- I love the drums on this. Amazing. Horn use was great, as well.

Tayo -- bass and sample chopping were next level.

In the end, I went with Tayo, just because the beat is more my style and because it got stuck in my head.

But it was a really tough call.

Yeah, much like the others who've already responded, my decision was based primarily on my tastes, considering neither was substantially proficiently ahead of the other. I've heard more impressive outings from both of you technically, but these are both very decent. But I just liked Tayo's vibe more than Red Scare's. Good job on both ends, though.

Hiphopapotamus · Post by **Hiphopapotamus** » Wed May 10, 2006 4:19 pm

both beats were execptional. dope drum programming on red scares part. hard choice to make, but i'll listen more.

compositionally, red scare's track is consistent, but i thought that maybe there would be another movement. the track falls a little short in time, but i think if there was another movement to this track it would just put a big fat red cherry on top. otherwise the mixing is really superb.

tayo's beat is really subtle. the chopping techniques are really clean, and effective in its melodic structure. i can definetly tell this is a tayo beat because it soudns like he has his signature style so far. like red scare's beat, the track stays in the same pattern and im always wishing for a subtle movement or change up. seeing as your both showing your capabilities on the beats and all, i was kind of expecting more from tayo since i've heard some outstanding songs with a dynamic elements in his music.

stylisticly their both original attempts to show your technical efforts, and i think that's what counts. i think both beats had similar compositions and great mixing. programming wise, i think think red scare put on a better blend of samples together. both beats are really good but im going to have to give it to red scare by a hair's lead.

what I'm tryna find out is how redscare got that teakettle bubble noise goin over those bassnotes?dope horn/violin sample goin here,damn where the fuck are these samples in the original soundtrack,I completely missed all these fat sounds,this is pretty catchy work for you redscare,your shit isnt usually this aggressive but this is dope,digigng all the layering,it's very well put together,plus lets not even get started on the drums,this is a great beat,but that horn stab that comes through the m9ix is a little peircing I think,still tonewise it fits decent enough I think

Tayo-man this chopjob is amazing,I can barely pick out these sounds from that original sample even as it was palying right before it,you sick sick bastard,liking the way that kick is thumping,but the snare stands out a little too far in the mix in my opinion,could use some reverbing/eqing I tihnk,this is some sick pete rock styled shit right here,not even sounding like a cheap imatation either but the real thing,I dig this immensely,wheras Red Scare went for the expansive heavily layered composition you took a more minimalist approach and focused on clever flipping of tiny chunks of samples

this is a very even match,so I gotta look at who pulled off their angle more flawlessly,redscare's beat was raw,tay's was just earbutter(that sounds kind of gross)

the only thing that really didn't rub me right was the lack of reverb on your snare tay,had it been a little liver sounding I think the beat would have really taken off,but the chopping was tons more ingenius than redscares layering imo,this is gonna take a moment to decide

red scare - nice layers, felt a little too locked in - a breakdown would have been nice - also a little clinical.

tayo - moves along nicely, don't much like those hats (could be mp3), nice warm feeling to it. heard ten times better from tayo.

red scare it is.

Captin Planit · Post by **Captin Planit** » Tue May 16, 2006 11:12 am

Your vote LITERALLY makes teh diffarence!!! GET TO WORK.

CHANCE RANDOM · Post by **CHANCE RANDOM** » Wed May 17, 2006 9:19 pm

i like the energy in scare's but i'm a sucker for mellow stuff... plus i really liked the usage of the woman humming and the 'you were running' vocal parts.

tayo got it.

Hasenfefer · Post by **Hasenfefer** » Thu May 18, 2006 11:42 am

looks like tayo got this by the slimmest of margins.

congrats and nice work by redscare as well.

The Red Scare · Post by **The Red Scare** » Thu May 18, 2006 4:42 pm

oh poop.

congrats Tayo, you deserved it. your first beat was easily the best of the whole competition, IMO. Can't wait to hear Can-U (and that other emcee

) rock it.
