<p>This list will be constantly updating, but for now, this is what it is!</p>

Thanks for the information. I emailed my submission for the remix contest.

Hope to hear from ya'll soon.

Thanks.

How do you submit your remix. I'm already a member.

go to Fileblaze.net, register, upload your remix and send it to the email specified.

Cool. Ima enter this too. I just hope my money comes in soon, because I'm entering Everything.

<p>are you taking submissions for the My Beats Are The Illest Battle yet?&nbsp; Or am I not looking in the right section to find out where to submit to?<strong><br /></strong></p>

so felisha, the way i understood everything, you need to attend the confrence in LA to enter tha battle, or is it all online? i want to enter the battle AND attend the conference, but i cant make it this year, i cant make the NY one, either, i'll be living in armenia for a couple more years.

<p>This is Napoleon Wright II from BECAUSEUS.</p>
<p>I sent my remix of Common's "Gladiator" to the specifed e-mail for DP members attending the conference.</p>
<p>Will we reiceve conformation that you have recieved it?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

BECAUSEUS - yes you will, a bit closer to the deadline though

Drape - MYA...there is no online component so no......common yes,be sure to submit to the non dp member / dp not attending email addy listed

<p>

</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>she didn't send it to me, probably because it hasn't been released yet, so just DO YOU!</p>

<p>hey felisha, is there still gonna be a my beats are the illest battle in la?</p>

<p>We don't even know what beat the vocals are supposed to be on though. &nbsp;I know I'm really confused at what is going on just from listening to the acapella. &nbsp;Can we get a track with a click or a snare or something, anything??</p>

<p>get it from last.fm* it switches between piano/ hard beat</p>

<p>I'm not seeing it on there, do you have a link?</p>

<p>Also, Felisha, can we submit more than one remix?</p>

<p>Fileblaze isn't letting me send it.</p>

<p>Nevermind.&nbsp; I was able to send them.&nbsp; Too bad the deadline is tomorrow.&nbsp; Wanted to do something special and do a 2 different remixes of it.</p>
<p>You never know though...</p>

<p>hey fbi, where's the email to fileblaze joints for the my beats are the illest battle.</p>

<p>kutmasta--mayday will update the info on the first thread very soon!&nbsp;&nbsp; can't wait to hear what ya got!</p>

<p>damn....that tom brock sample is dope! &nbsp;</p>

<p>Man you ain't neva lied. I Have too many directions for this beat, so manythings can be done to it. This will make for a great competition.</p>

<p>Well, I've been putting this off to the very last minute&nbsp;for personal reason.&nbsp;Since I&nbsp;heard about this contest last month, I had this concept in my head about how I wanted it to sound. I'm not super active in music production as much as the next cat and if not for this contest I probably wouldn't have discovered DP. So if anything I hope&nbsp;this will open a door for me and a lot of new folks to learn and grow from other more experienced individuals. I'm just super excited&nbsp;to let people hear what I got.&nbsp;Peace.</p>

<p>Felisha,</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Fileblaze site was not working yesterday evening. After numerous attempts I wasnt able to upload my submissions through fileblaze.&nbsp; So I sent my submisssions for the Common, Mya, Crates, and Beats are the Illest competitions to the email addresses provided.&nbsp; The fileblaze server is working this morning so I am going to send the music again through fileblaze.&nbsp; Hopefully I will be fine with meeting the deadlines. Please let me know.&nbsp; Im coming from Chicago</p>

I resubmitted.&nbsp; Hopefully I'll be fine.&nbsp; Let me know .. Im coming to the contest/conference from Chicago.&nbsp; Please let me know</p>

<p>Marcus-</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I'm coming from Chicago too!</p>

<p>Just wondering how we will get confirmation that our submission for the COMMON REMIX is in the contest. How will that work?</p>

<p>I'm comin from chicago as well.....What part of chicago you from?...I'm a southsider</p>

<p>Word I'm from/live in Buffalo Grove (about 30 mi NW of downtown). &nbsp;I'm in the city like every day though. &nbsp;You guys need to come check out my gigs!</p>

<p>I emailed my tracks Friday but I dont see my name on the recieved list. I just sent them agian. Hope Iam not too late.</p>

<p>I see Relic (my company) but not G-Flow (my producer name).&nbsp; Is that one in the same or&nbsp; did you not receive my submissions?&nbsp; Please clarify.&nbsp; Thanks.</p>

<p>FBI.. I don't see my name entered in the submission for the Tom Sample Flip competition?? I know it sent, could you please check and see if you have it. I'll check my Fileblaze as well. I'll try to hit you up tomorrow if i can.</p>

<p>OMG... I SENT IT TO THE SAME ADDRESS AS THE PROCOL REMIX ON ACCIDENT.. OH NOOOO! I SO HAD NO IDEA.. CAN I PLEASE STILL HAVE IT SUBMITTED FIR THE COMPETITION???</p>

<p>No... Wait... I sent it to the right address. My name should be up there after the update i hope...</p>
<p>...man i was about to spazz.. (damn technology. lol)</p>

<p>is there gonna be an anouncement as to who made the cut for each battle prior to the actual battle?</p>

<p>Probably, but the list of who made it is already on this page, if there's any announcements it will be changes to the roster if any happen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>that's a list of submissions received if i'm not mistaken.&nbsp; the common remix has mad people but there's only supposed to be 9 selected.</p>

<p>The list has to be updated again i guess, The sample flips only have like 4-6 people in them and the max is 9 i think. and i know more people had to of entered that one. Even my name isn't posted on the Tom Remix list yet, so It has to be re updated or we'll find out at the conference.</p>

<p>WHERE IS THIS LIST?????</p>

<p>NEVERMIND FOUND IT!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>WOOHOO IM IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LETS GET IT!</p>

<p>Checking up on the list....i submitted but i don't see my name or anthony.....was i too late or did you guys get them?</p>

<p>whats good with that common remix??</p>

<p>felisha, i checked that list and i aint see my name for the common remix, is it because im not attending the conference?? cause u told me that i can still submit for the common remix even if im not attending the conference?? what went wrong??</p>
