The Song Fight Bulletin Board

chocolatechips wrote:you're a smug idiot. your songs are boring as hell. no amount of pristine recordings and fancy arrangements are going to make up for that. write a good song and maybe you'll win a songfight without cheating.

I didn't cheat you twat.

you most certainly did. it's obvious.

and on top of that: you cheated to win what exactly? nothing. you won nothing.

if you want to make yourself worthwhile then give your fellow songfighters some honest reviews of their songs (and I personally love negative comments as long as they are based on a real listen) instead of wasting your time trying to game the votes.

Here is the button to click to send someone a Private Message in which to flame the hell out of them, rather than bickering on a forum thread for all to see.

To be fair, JB, I made this argument public by posting it on the front page. Now that it has been seen by the intended recipient, I would be glad to remove it.

Yes you did, you cunt. Facts are a bitch, skippy.

"Explanation for those of you who were anticipating a different result:
57 votes came in after the deadline, all from Miami Dade College, 26 of which were for Darrick Lucas. These have been disallowed. Sorry Derrick, get the word out sooner next time. The system was neither overloaded, nor are we pissed off, per your facebook posts. Sorry your friends couldn't muster the 99 you were after, but don't feel bad. Business as usual, Darrick. If you think you're first one to try to game the system, get over yourself. We have plenty of experience with this, and know how to deal with it. -your pal, SPUD"

When you expect to win, you just wind up mad at Octothorpe.

Man, I feel like I gotta say somethin', but it's all been said. Well, I still haven't voted for myself, ever.* And I don't have any friends to vote for me. So there!


* Strict self-rule: Said I'd only vote for myself if I thought that I had the best song in the fight. Maybe been close a couple of times, though I can't remember when, but not best yet. My first win, five years ago this week (!), I still think should have gone to Ross. I beat him by one vote.

It is likely that no one understands the irony of that statement in this context more than I.

Well, we could offer an updated millennial equivalent. "When you expect to win, you just wind up mad at Derricklucass"

I know I am way belated on this, but I didn't know there was a forum until I submitted my Tyson track. Anyway, I am here to thank everyone that reviewed my Suitcase work.

First off, I am a video game mashup remixer. I never did a song with my own voice before, but I couldn't resist the Suitcase fight because I was immediately inspired with thoughts about a super secret agent and a suitcase that the audience doesn't get to see the inside of, but he does.

I know I forgot the beats. I kept every phase of the track that I mixed and the one I submitted was the step before the final, missing the beat. I knew after voting started that I killed my chances. Having said that, I would like to thank everyone that reviewed. I took your comments to heart for my Tyson track.

Pigfarmer Jr - I noticed my vocals coming too far in the Tyson track. I started over and faded them back.

Jeffhenderson - your comment about a circa 1982 Ice T was hands-down the best compliment I have ever received in my life. Thank you!

Kevin Mellows - yeah... all of my music is from video games. Have you ever checked out Team Teamwork? You really need to. They are my inspiration for getting into remixing in the first place.

Heine - Thank you!!

Paco del Stinko - Thank you for taking the time to review. I love your work! I tried to throw a bridge and some change-ups into my Tyson track.

codywalkerjr - That's ok. My wife doesn't like rap either. I still mix it

Generic - I love Deltron! I know my work sucks. That's why I try to stick to remixing artists that are good. But I love songfight too much to not try.

chocolatechips - I have been listening to rap for 20 years and you are so right. Flow is so much harder than it seems!

Anyway, I'm sure I resurrected a dead thread, but I wanted to thank everyone since I didn't do it at the time. Better late than never, I guess.
