Remix Cymarshall Law’s Single Harder Than Thou!

by Kevin on December 6, 2009

Since we released Cymarshall Law‘s new single, “Harder Than Thou,” last week, the buzz has been crazy. Produced by D-Slaps, with cuts by DJ JS-1, Cymarshall goes in over the track, um, harder than thou!

Now, we’re giving YOU a chance to put your own spin on the record. Download the acapella to “Harder Than Thou” and see if you can craft a beat just as dope, if not better than the original. The winning remix will be chosen by Cymarshall Law himself and will be included in an upcoming HiPNOTT Records mixtape being sponsored by HipHopDX. The mixtape will be a sampler of exclusive tracks from artists on HiPNOTT Records 2010 roster, as well as a few special guest appearances from some well known emcees. More information on the mixtape will be put out in the coming weeks, but this is something that you will definitely want to be a part of!

Hit the jump for the tracks to download and rules for the contest…

Rules:

Download the acapella below (and original for reference)
Remix the track… no limits. Do whatever you like with it; use samples or don’t… your call. Just make it dope!
Name your file with the name you wish to be credited
Upload your remix via the widget below in high quality mp3 format
If you make changes to your remix after you’ve uploaded, annotate the new version in the description and we will delete the old one.
Deadline for remix entries is December 23, 2009 at 6:00 pm Eastern Standard Time (GMT -5)

CONTEST CLOSED

Winner will be announced sometime in January 2010

my dear lord…why I slept on this song I have no idea…I’m actually feeling somewhat inadequate in trying to make something hotter…my respects go to the man who laced this original beat…straight fire IMO…

i agree – original beat is crazy!
nice to have a contest here again.

I should probably add that you can only submit one remix per person.

Also, this is just a teaser to get all you producers back. We’ll have a brand new weekly remix contest starting up in January!

Dude.. it gives me an error when I try to upload ( “Sorry an error occured during the upload.”) … Peace ! ..P.S.: should I try to upload it to another site ?
Luis

what is the EXACT bpm please ?
http://myspace.com/djloststylez DJ Lost Stylez

I managed to upload it .. it was because of my browser … FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT USE OPERA, TRY UPLOADING WITH INTERNET EXPLORER …. as for the BPM question.. i went with 90 BPM but I had to resync before each scratching chorus… Peace !
Luis

because i check on Logic on 8 bars and I found 89.8852…. I don’t like to be on the right Bpm so if somebody knows it, it would be nice to give it.
http://myspace.com/djloststylez DJ Lost Stylez

FL Studio gives me 89.700 .. but it’s not right.. and I’ve tried all tempos from 85 to 91(one by one by hand) and none fit cos’ when the scratches get in the tempo changes and then goes back .. you’ll have to chop to fit .. .. Peace !
http://myspace.com/djloststylez DJ Lost Stylez

oh.. and by the way I forgot to say .. the song is ill … I felt the song all the way through.. cos’ I MC too (in my native language)… I can’t believe I slept on this dude.. Peace !

Whoever made the ‘marvelmix’ …sick work, love the flow and the different mix of sounds.
RazorSharpe and Tokyo Cigar go hard too, plus lots more good production here.

I’d love for you to check mine out (Marchitect), I’m real new to this, and this is my first contest submission, learning lots this first while, my cut is pretty simple, and it’s almost all soft synths, bit of a marching band drumline feel.

I know people might read this and not leave comments, but especially since I’m new I’d love some feedback. Thanks for the opportunity KN, all the best.

Canada stand up,

Big ups to this contest and this site. Been coming here for a while now as an aspiring producer, this site is a gem. I think I probably got the sample I used for my beat from here, so big up Kev and company, doing ill work.

Gotta love some of the sample heavy beats on here. SliPro is nice, BobbyBob is a banger for sure, and Buck One is fire, a nice fit to the track. But…

Simple Craft Beats remix of the track is by far the best up there! Oh wait, that’s me…Jus playing yall…Good work to everybody and hopes I see my own face up in these contests more often as this is my first entry.

CANADA STAND UP – as Marchitect said before!

Peace,
