it did help but it mostly helped my confidence. At the time I already had some placements on TV shows but the showcase facilitated, if I remember correctly, me in getting my entertainment manager at the time. also, it was good to see what the talented producers in and around the city were doing.

nah, don't know where the vids were.

thats ill, it's definitely a confidence builder especially when you placed top 3.... im gonna continue this shyt... im making too many connects now not to... i got cats hittin me up for beats all over the country now...

and all in all when people see you go this route, it adds a layer of legitimacy to your production..

i can now say my beats have been cosigned by so and so..

I've done countless battles over here in Detroit, as well as the Red Bull Big Tune in 2009. I'm not a fan of the whole battling scene, just my 2 cents

were you successful..

did you network at the event?

it has helped me immensely.. just the first time too.

Yes I networked at the event. My stock has gone up a ton since then.

The whole scene is so damn corny though. I've seen it all- dudes putting 2 beats in one 60 second block, using other people's beats (this dude used a Pokemon beat off soundclick and won the round), and people playing straight up songs with lyrics. I'm straight on it all (I reluctantly agreed to do one next month) because music shouldn't be about competition!

i heard about people using others beats but why chance that, if you win your setting urself up for some serious embarassment..

I heard about the songs with lyrics, smh... Istandard told me they dont accept anything with lyrics on the verses

The guy who won did 4 shows before he finally won so he certainly earned it.

thats dope much respect on that 2nd place win.. it isn't as easy as people make it seem, it's presentation, crowd control, mix quality/mastering, drums, originality marketability and more they score on..

definitely is good for exposure lol other companies that do showcases heard about my set now i got 4 battle/showcase invites in the next few months.. I canceled the first one cuz imma be in Jamaica :smoker:

but when i get back in it's :rip:

and I just copped Maschine lol :dj2: need a new sound arsenal to take these fruity loops/reason heads on.
