Judgin by the decline in # of entries in the beatoffs/chops/challenges the collective drive to keep these kinda posts alive are no longer there, and Ive decided to let go...
Ive had fun, and I sense that most of yall that participated felt the same way, always competitive but always with a positive vibe!
I personally can say yall pushed me in terms of expandin my craft, and Ive learned a great deal from the exchanges Ive had w yall -
Too many to name, but yall know who you are - I SALUTE YOU for participatin in these, engagin in debate and makin it worthwhile til now!!!
It's not like I was trying to create something for all of them but I guess I got behind on them, I saw the posts but I just been busy with other things (my weekly mixshow) and just being out of the mood, there been a few times I started on them and then get sided tracked and end up creating another track altogether.
I can say you were the main one putting the effort into the challenges and was also the winner of all of them.

Trust me, I know how hard it is to get folks to participate when there's not a prize or some famous producers name attached.
I tried to just get a group going where other producers could share tips and samples, etc.., and that crashed and burned pretty quick.
Also tried collabing with a vocalist on here and he told me in like December of last year he would get back to me in the new year. It's October.
But, that's the game. Cats never need you until you don't need them.
Thanks again for the tremendous effort.
Peace.
Come to grips with the fact that most OKP's are of the Nut Hugger lineage, so, if you' re not part of the little cliques that exist 'round here, your posts will probably tank like Souljaboy's album sales.

Youre def. right bout the lack of support when it aint no IMMEDIATE gain from contributin other than the feedback of other amateur (or semipro) musicians... Which should be enuff anyway...
Im guilty of this my own damn self, since I actually planned on joinin your group and never did...
Man no sweat on not bein round durin the last few, I know you had bigger things to do between the extended fam and that supadope album - anytime I feel stuck and limited w these samples, I know I can put that on for inspiration!
