Scuzzy Ruckus - Dogs of War | Beat Battle League Week #16 Entry
“Cry ‘Havoc!’, and let slip the dogs of war” ~ William Shakespeare (Julius Ceasar, 1599).
The theme for Beat Battle League Week #16 (hosted by @chiefmappster) is The Final Battle. Initially, I had intended to sample a thunderous anthem appropriate for war, but instead, I approached this battle in the perspective of the those orchestrating the wars.
I sampled "Dogs of War" by Pink Floyd, which is a song suggesting that money is the major influence behind wars.
The hook goes as follows:
One world, it’s a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world… One world
Pink Floyd - Dogs of War
This is my entry for the beat battle.
Holy smokes yesssssssss Pink Floyd inspired let's goooooooo,
Man you use these samples, especially the "One Love" sample so freakin well in my opinion. Especially in the beginning it helps set the tone and then WHAM here comes the beat.
Love that transition around 0:30; it came in so strong in the headphones.
This is so easy to play on repeat. The arrangement of this beat is incredible and just flows. And how you intertwine that "One Love" sample triggers that next level.
Much appreciation and respect for creating this epic entry. I really enjoy listening to this one.
May this New Year bring plenty of blessings
Thanks brother! You're too kind. lol
The hook is actually saying:
Happy New Years and likewise!
You're very welcome brother. Holy smokes my ears were perceiving it totally different. Wow wow. Thanks for letting me know.
Appreciate you
Love this banger sun. Its battle~ish with a message to massage one's brain. Hey you should try finding Fugees "Ready or not" Accapela and fit it on the top of this beat, it would fit awesomely and I can already hear it. (; Naahmean? Nice entry cuz..uuhm I mean @scuzzy ☺
