Decent...even though I almost waiting for the sample to drop...it sounds like a sample of the month traci from the beat club...I see that you are probably going to be a one trick pony...at least it's totally different from my beat so this should be interesting...

limelinx.com puhlease........
i say that because the link you provided real talk. i can't find a download button for. plus you should make it readily accessible for the users who vote to put it in their systems. so they can have it and bang it in their own settings. it would help you get more votes as well, being on a different service.
anyway,...i think this beat is really really phuckin dope. you put a lot of time into it with the chops, arrangements. although i wish you would have actually constructed more arrangements, considering how much you did in the opening and then in the transitions and the beat juggle triggers in the main part of the composition, on the breaks.
good way to flip the i know i know i know i know joint,..i won't give away the name, of your joint outta respect.
only problem is the intro is really long, for gateway listeners.
yet, i was feeling you on showing off your artistry, with your sampling.
so i don't list it as a negative at all.

only thing is you should have had someone else create the poll for you, in a thread not made by you.
yet, if clips agrees to this poll,..which i wouldn't, then that is on hiim.
so i won't vote in the poll...like for real.
anyway,..this beat is good.
i could actually hear this being a beat used for a gangsta rapper to actually diss a dude, and be carried by some good ol chant style hook, with a melodic bridge.
although i was expecting a little more actual work from you. when i heard it was a battle. i say that because the actual main instrument in your beat i feel could be just a vst one touch joint,...where it is just added, because outside of that you have no other instrumentation.
it really isn't that powerful sonically but it is clean, with a good amount of power which is what adds to it being dope.

this is no slight to you rod, in this round,....you could have taken it if you would have had more arrangements and instrumentation since you went the original route. not to mention, you didn't maximize your breaks at all. you should have had more instrumentation, arrangements and used your drops more. you forgot about the breaks, which is a definate when making rap music. plus, you could have used a little more effect on your claps, cymbals, and your drumkit. plus, the drums needed a little more color. the drums had good attack, but i felt they didn't really jump out with much to them. i felt like they were stock and weren't really eq'd other than just to get them to knock.
which is why i gave the edge to counter, cause he put in more work and even though he sampled. he maximized more outta his chops and did more work than you. although you dudes didn't do many patterns,...counter did more patterns and his were more interesting and he used his soul samples to add to not having much original instrumentation, outside of his drumkix, and his drumkits. also counter made better use of his setup because you can hear him use all types of added effects here and there to give more color to his samples and his arrangements. you really didn't do that at all rod,..so i gave the nod to counter.
although, if this was a battle that would have featured a rapper on it. a gangsta rapper wit nuffin but some gun talk and violence as his mainstay and content. without much skill other than hooks, and no real delivery would have maximized more on rod's beat. yet, on counter's beat,..counter would have needed like a great emcee on his beat if they were battling to even touch the lowliest gangsta rapper. from the fact that counter's beat would require someone who could really write, a battle rhyme to his beat and then incorporate the samples and the concept of the beat. which not to many unsigned or underground artist in this era are capable of doing at this very time.
which leads to my point that, if this was on a major.......rod's beat would be choosen by someone like bump j on send him off. making close to his best song ever, on a beat which wasn't really mixed well. yet was a good showing, so the type of artist rod made his beat for would have saved face in losing. yet, in the case of counter,...if a polished emcee got on his beat and could really tear it down.......it would put in proper perspective just how much better counter's beat was, as well.
good stuff, both of you guys...rod you didn't take it..you should have had way more instrumentation with the route you took and if you did that, i could have easily given you the duke this round, with no question...so you didn't lose any respect from me in this round at all.
i wanna hear more....good sh1t..
you both, went and got some good money this round,..like for real!
i pick counterclips this round....

This is pretty bad. Drum work is on some "my first drum machine" type sh-t....
What really makes me laugh is how you tried to re-play the Mobb Deep(could be a 50 song) melody with a weak lil synth. You even tried to re-play the bassline! JR Rotem wants his beat back homie!
Well I will just be honest here.

funny though how voting goes on SOHH...you critiqued both beats on a super-producer level instead of as just being a listener...maybe you should get next...join the beat club homie.
