Both drops were dope as f**k it was closer than I would have expected. 

I felt beatg33kz had the better mix - everything was clean and loved the sample (its out of some 007 theme music if im not mistaken?). In relation to the beat itself I'm not a personal fan of this style but it was amazing none the less. 

Equipped went hard I was really surprised. Sample was amazing - provided an eerie, melodic sort of feel to the beat and made it very abstract. Drums were dope, although I think IMO (im no producer so I may be wrong) that they could have been mixed slightly better, one was sounding a tad too loud. 

Ima give this one to Equipped. Down to the simple basis that its something that I could write to, whereas I would have problems with the other. For this reason it pushed it over to eqp's favour…just. 

Great battle

ok here we go

i see alot of talk in this thread about votes and stuff and i just wanna let it be known that i am NOT a part of that group. i am cool with eqp/inf and im cool with todd, and my vote has nothing to do with picking sides.

no genre was specified, i dont think anyhow so im basing my vote from cleanest mix and personal preference. which would go to todd

none the less both soldiers went hard as f**k, i just feel that as far as a professional mix and better vibe todd took this battle.

Haha how much time do u have on ur hands 2 b lookin 4 pics n wut not? of course hes my brother n ya ama vote 4 him if i like his beat more. u have ur boyz(tristan n 9diamond) who never participate in any of da forums all of a sudden come thru n take an interest in voting. Not once have i seen either of them comment on any thread or battle. come on dude! i wasnt even gna vote,  i never do when he battles. do me a favor… since u luv going thru da archives so much n have so much time go n check if ive ever voted on any of eqps prior battles, i thnk i voted on his 1st battle n we decided not 2 vote 2 keep it unbiased, we ddnt wnt this s**t 2 b a popularity contest

It literally takes just a few minutes to find this stuff. It's called a search engine.  Don't worry I didn't have to make a call down to Washington or anything.

How can you compare Tristan & 9diamond, people who produce for the site, who are probably viewing the site at least once or twice a day……to 2 guys (really one guy) who have a total of 16 posts between the two (one) of them and the only other battles they (he) previously checked out were yours….?  in which they (he) also responded “yoooo da drums were doper”

mixing has nothing to do with my vote

todd's was a better product

glad u could find a pic of me hanburglar just dont wack off  to it. but whys it so hard to find a pic of u and wheres ur hometown huh. wtf u got to hide? ur winning the battle and you still gotta find somthong to complain about and somethin to b*tch about. quit crying. do u really have such a big ego that u think everybody in the world is gonna vote for ur beat? naw man s**t doesnt work like thhat…. heres wats up with this battle… u make trap dirty south beats equipped makes real hip hop. u both chose dope samples, equipped decided to add sum rugged sounding drums and u decided to add drums and sum trap melodies. now me bein from socal did u really expect me to feel a dirty south beat more than sum authentic hip hop s**t. never gona happen. and back to u haveing a kanye west ego i gotta ask ytf do u feel u have the right to have such an ego and to put down other people who are just tryin to make it in the same business as u? is it because u work as a producer on shadowville? if so thats dumb because the truth is the highlight of ur career is working on this  site, that i lose respect for more and more each day, and making beats for wannabe gucci manes. and on other note i cant believe even moderators came in to take sides and show their bias, but i guess wat did i expect. the site owns ur beats and work so who else would they vote for. 

this!!
