Round 1: Zeu$ vs Bruh Man 5th Flo

[Deafheaven]

breh I always try to be respectful when it comes to criticism, cuz I'm not a hating type of dude. I used to make beats too and was pretty decent (2010-2011) so I know it's difficult but, I'm an emcee at heart so I respect cats who take time to master that aspect of hip-hop.

With your beat, the drums really were holding it back. I don't like to use the r word (repetitive) because so many nikkas get up in arms about that shyt so I try to word it better, but truthfully your beat was a lil repetitive to me, it's just that the sample was so dope the repetition didn't stand out as much. Some louder drums and maybe a lil more bass would have really caused the beat to go harder and sound more progressive imo.

You already know I've listened to your beats since you first started posting and you've improved a lot while maintaining your key sound so it's good to see you continuing to grow. I actually don't even think this is the best beat I've heard from you. I actually think the beat where you flipped the Bayonetta final boss theme was your best track but

But anyways breh...keep grinding

I hear you lol. I had another beat I was gonna use for this but I made this yesterday and was feeling it haha. I have taken all ya'll advice though and changed the volume of the drums and shyt. it does sound better.

40's got some bangers

definitely but a lot of shyt is taylor made for drake so by itself it sounds kinda pedesterian. this is just imo of course.

Zeu$'s sample .
Bruh man.s Timbo drums and that melody though.Had to roll with BM5

 

[bigrodthe1]

Dope shyt Zeus...need a better mix as others have stated...Bruh Man got his inner Timbaland on. Very creative as always. Got to go with "Breh" man

 

[Deafheaven]

I need to get some better headphones. I'm not losing again lol.

 

[Tommy Knocks]

I honestly enjoyed both beats, had Zeus used some phatter drums I think I'd have voted for him because I really like that based, emotional, spaced out sample.

Bruh's track got that snap in it, drums are keeping me interested, hell the beat is still playing in the background lol.

Zeus could have made a monster with that sample. I think if you had chopped it up a bit different instead of a loop and mixed those drums louder it would have been really dope. Bruh man got the drums knocking, battle is already in his favor and the instrumentation is cool. Bruh man got my vote. You shot yourself in the foot on this one Zeus.

I just ordered some high end sennheisers lol...I'm not letting a repeat of this problem happen.

 

[KushSkywalker]

i had to go with bruh man here. drums eventually won me over

 

[Deafheaven]

@AkaDemiK I don't see how I shot myself in the foot

This shyt is just for pride after all and you guys destroying this beat is just going to make me go back until its one of the illest I've made. If this was even or so I prolly would have just let it ride. Now i'm intent on making this shyt ridiculous

Good to know. You shot yourself in the foot with the mix, if the drums were knocking you would have won. I have no beef with the beat except the mix really.

Which Sennheisers did you order? I copped the Audio-Technica m50s earlier this summer. My mix is still not the best but i've heard it improve significantly. It's also not too tight on the pocket. Can get it online for round $100.
