STBB #742 - Block Party

Sat May 22, 2021 7:02 am

Greetings fellow earthlings! Welcome to STBB #742

This weeks theme is titled: Block Party

If you don't know, Block Parties were huge festivities thrown in cities back in the day. A block or sector of city would be closed off from traffic and citizens would gather with music, food and energy to celebrate the community. I'm sure different parts of the world has different terms for it.

I'm old school so forgive me if this post is a bit minimalistic.

Congrats on the win!

A whole lotta samples right there! Should take some time just checking them out!

Not sure if this is a Non-Entry as its not really a party track, more of a wind down beat..

Block Party entails all modalities. There has to eventually be a wind down phase to a party so chill tracks have their place also.

Hey' yall

First off, I love this challenge! I'm a big nerd about early hip hop history, in which block parties have played a huge role.

when I was coming up in the game I played quite a few outdoor parties and I have very vivid memories of the sights, sounds and smells of those events.

In my track I've tried to capture the sound and vibe of those memories. I wanted to give a sense of the ambience (-the sound of music from across the street, the echo off the concrete, the whoompiness of the bass) without making it too lo-fi.. so I hope my mix does the trick (If not I'll probably update it b4 the deadline)



In case anyone's interested I used 110th st for the bass, nautlius for ambience and various other bits from the samples to fill it out.
For vocals I took some furious 5 from the death mix and an acapella from 2 live crew for the chorus (miami bass had a huge block party scene- luke skyywalker started out as a mobile jock)

for fun there's a cameo from q-tip talking about his days as a kid going to parties in NYC.

Thanks again to the Swoop-Man! for the challenge and the samples and thanks to everyone who listens or makes beats for these contests for helping to keep the craft alive and relevent...

Peace!

Hey All, Congrats and great rules(Samples are superb!) I grew up with the grass between my toes so I don't know much about blocks but the neighbors did have parties in the street every year. That's where I had my first taste of beer. I was not impressed. Hope all are well.



Peace, Hugh
