So we we’re supposed to do this last week and I take full blame for the delay. But here goes our (Torae x 2DopeBoyz) top five submissions for ya’ll to listen to. As Tor will reassure…
Man oh man, 1st off I’d like to thank EVERYONE that got involved with the “Switch Remix Contest”. It was definitely dope hearing every one’s twist on the joint. Some were very, very creative, some weren’t creative enough but I enjoyed them all for different reasons. I didn’t think the contest would be as big as it was there were many entries from all over the world. I got submissions from Denmark, Africa, France, Amsterdam, Holland, of course New York (someone actually brought me a CD out to the show), Slovakia & many, many more. So again I’d like to thank each of the contestants for their time, energy & effort. Unfortunately there can only be one added to the single so without further ado here are the top 5 that were decided on by 2DB’z & I. If you’re not on this list I still have every one’s email address & I’d like to chop it up with a lot of you to possibly work in the future. I heard some beats that didn’t fit “Switch” but would be dope to write to so I’ll be in touch. Thanks again for being involved I had a blast with this. Peace & love…
DOWNLOAD: Astronote | NR | Exceptionalist | Lyve | Small Professor
So here we go… the finalists are here. So we are asking the dopeboyz and dopegirlz out there to listen and leave some feedback. Which are you feeling, etc? We’ll announce the winner soon (I’m not giving a date haha).
da Exceptionalist & Lyve shitted on EVERYTHING else..but i like Exceptionalist more den Lyve’s
The Lyve shit is dope
small professor’s joint is the dopest in my opinin followed closely by exceptinalist and I everyone else just fall back…
Da Exceptionalist joint is dope as hell..
SP!!
whooo Exceptionalist version is FIRE
is that Small Pro from OKP?? his was tight too
NR and Exceptionalist are my top 2…
but I gotta give the vote to Exceptionalist on this one…
it fits so well it almost sounds like that was the original beat…
p.s. I wanted to submit but procrastination is a mothafucka…fuck it…same thing happened with that Clispe x Nahright contest…I’ll just post it up on the myspace page sometime…
PEACE

ASTRONOTE NIGGAAAAAAAA BOUMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!
ASTRONOTE THE BEST OF THE NEW BEATMAKER!!!!!!
gotta love the “friends” coming in like crazy right now.
I’m feeling the NR remix the most.
man the astronote is crazy…NR shit is doooooooope
The Exceptionalist joint is definitely a headphone track, but that Lyve shit is something that I would bump in the whip no doubt
Small Pro
Man….That NR one was dope as fuck…They were all dope, but the NR remix killed it…
I’m actually not realy feelin’ any of these except for Lyve’s(that shit is firee… props.!)
I honestly believe that there are a lot of people’s remixes that were better than these finalist that didn’t make the cut…maybe you should have listened to the whole songs instead of just the first few seconds????
why didn’t that kid a dot mccray make the final round? that dude’s remix was the shit i heard it on hiz blogspot
mutherf*kerz be sleepin on that Lyve shit. the deal was creativity. i aint heard anything new from these other producers. strictly on some ’soulful chop’ sh*t. nothing is wrong with that but that seems to be the winning formula. i bet if Lyve did that too, there wouldnt be no finalists. who the fuck chops up Metroid to a melody anyway? (correct me if im wrong. hehe)
I fucks with the Lyve joint!!!
Astronote is also bringing that bang!
That Lyve shit is extra hard! Good shit.
damn b, music addict done called out the sample!!!! hahah good work my dude..
astronote kilt that shit…
Exceptionalist.
That Small Professor was ill.
i personally fuck with NR’s remix
But Exceptionalist was also really good.
EXCEPTIONALISTS is where it’s at, this kid knows how to produce a beat
Exceptionalist bangs the hardest, hands down.
Yooooo…ALL were dope….put em all out…hahaha…NR and astronote!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Exceptionalists joint is a bangin’…mos def a K.O. for the competition. CALL IT A WINNER.
exceptionalists is on a whole nutha level.
exceptionalist is the dopest by far.
all the way lyve. fuckwhutchaheard.
Exceptionalists is that dope shit, winner!
someone must of done a myspace blast haha
Torae got platinum vocals on a platinum beat… oh shit….
Exceptionalist Fo Show. We feelin that out west.
“NR” all the way on this one. His version felt more like it was taylor made and not just thrown to the vocals cause it matched the BPM. No offense to the others…it was dope but just didnt harmonize with the theme that well. Biggup to all the finalist though. “NR”…on this one. Peace.
i visited the exceptionalists myspace, that kid is half the age and has twice the skills that any other of these finalists.
Small Pro takes this one, I think.
Everyone’s shit is really dope, though. I’m going to try to check for all of ‘em.
Shake I think it should be a requirement that people leaving feedback also drop their e-mail so you know people aren’t just switchin the names up which is terribly obvious
^^we’re just looking for feedback. it is obvious about certain things though. the final decision will be on torae’s head. of course i’ll chime in though haha
the closest to blackmilk’s detroit thump——> LYVE!
exceptionalist is dope too! looks like he got a lot of frends on dis forum! shake & torae… choose the right one!!
