Illmatic Beat Contest Week 2: The Entries

by Kevin on January 4, 2009

Wow, 44 entries this week! Us judges really have our work cut out for us. Lots of new talent hittin’ up the contest this week and I also see a few familiar faces from past contests. As usual, we got all the beats that were submitted in a player to the right and you can also download them all here as well. The download is huge, so we had to use Megaupload. User poll is below, just remember this is not a popularity contest. Have your friends vote, but no need to go crazy… it looks kinda funny when someone has a ton of votes but their beat obviously sucks… lol. Anyway, I know most of you will probably be moving on to Week 3, but feel free to discuss week two’s beats here.

hate to be the one saying this but G.C. is the only hot sounding track..well not only there are a few others decent but his stand alone..the rest is either lazy, repetive..out of tune or hell boring or unoriginal..please stop the horrible sampling..not hate..i m not sure i could have done better myself
gradyvince

Regardless…his beat is nice. I’m sure the judge’s votes have something to do with beat selection so chill out.
