Hey all! After some discussion, we've decided to launch a STBB Beat Battle Back-Up thread where everyone can chip in ideas for future battles! Whether it's posting your own battle idea or providing feedback on samples/rules
We can use this thread as a way for the following:
1. Back-up battles if winner is not available or does not post rules in-time
2. Battle ideas for winner to tweak or copy for the next week (Maybe out of ideas haha)
3. Develop your own battle ideas for when you win next!
2. Give credit where it is due! If you borrow someone's battle, be sure to give props in your post
3. Please consider honor system -- It is possible to flip something in this idea thread, but if it is used for a Weekly or Monthly battle, please submit anything made before then as 'Non-Entry' to keep the spirit of the time limit
4. WeTransfer only works for a week -- You may consider using something like Google Drive for posts here, or be prepared with sample pack so if a battle takes place these are ready to go!
5. If you receive feedback for your battle and want to use it, simply edit your original Battle format post so we don't post rules over and over again!
Looking forward to what people cook up here! Thanks in advance for all the great ideas that will be developed

here are some cool rules I remember from the past:
MONOPHONIC: Only one sound allowed at any given time.
Dry: have a very dry delay and reverbless element in your beat
Body Beat: Make a beat using only your body
Make Jazz, Reggae or EDM
Field Recordings
Minus 6 semi tones: pitch it down
fixed BPM's / BPM changes
Gangster Love Song
Dirty vs Clean parts
Tributes to various artists ( that passed away)
Chords: make your own track by playing keys ( no samples )
Skits
Make new sentences out of given acapellles and audio material
Make the most fucked up beat imaginable
Space
Acapellas
Zombie week + sample pack
Kitchen sounds
Have someone sing on your beat
tbc...

Hey How about a House/Electro remixed with a rap or any kind of accapella (personal choice)
I was thinking of this track
Mainly cause of this remix- maybe use either-I prefer this one
other rules maybe add your own synth line.
Just an idea from a mate's electro mix I really enjoyed.
Just something for the emergency kit.
Peace. Hugh

Cover battle
Make a dope beat and a even doper Cover. Use the stbb logo, preferable a citysight photo with waxens awesome logo stickers.
Since the template is provided you can print it yourself and use some paperglue... Should be fine for a photo

Its a bit weird but i thought of a beat battle idea....
What if people could choose an Original Sound Track from an 80s Action Movie (so must have been released in cinemas between 1/1/80 - 31/12/89) to sample on a first come first served basis. So the first to claim an OST on the battle thread claims it then makes a beat from it... Then you must use only vocal samples from the movie you picked.
Then at the end you'll have lots of different beats from different movies and could make a mixtape out of it hehe

Has anyone got a list of the original forum's challenges? Or better yet all the sample packs?

list of challenges.hmmm..I gues you'd just have to click on the weeks..
there might be some who have the samples in one folder.. I have'em all in seperate ones for each week.. hell of a hassle to collect 'em

Yeah man!!! I provided this very song for 618 or 619, along with quite a few other tracks (way too many lol)
I recall a few people sampling this one though, some nice beats made that week
