Nice to see that you read it. But please don't derail this thread any further. If you want to comment more about your contest, do so via your newsposts page, or better yet, keep it to the PM system.

Best of luck.

Thank you.

As my mother used to say...

"You're cruisin' for a bruisin'"

I'm leaving the site anyways.

I believe I've contributed enough to New Grounds(set-up battles, joined them, set-up mixtapes, set-up collabs between artists that probably won't get posted on here now, added beats, promoted Red's competitions like a mufucca) to be talked to instead of publicly called out by an ignorant moderator who probably has no clue about the Hip-Hop portal other than what Red does.

I should have been sent a message informing me of the problem and the steps I can take, and the things I can remove about the competition to have it accepted. Instead I was shunned. This is why so many people leave New Grounds and so many decide to new join in the first place.

The only person on this website with enough notice from the moderators New Grounds Hip-Hop has that truly tries to help us and keeps in-touch with that side of the portal, is Big Red.

Us audio mods are just doing our jobs, on a volunteer basis. If we were ignorant of the audio portal, we wouldn't have nipped this contest in the bud as soon as we saw it.

That's exactly why Rucklo banned YunVeroz for... sampling in his beats? Pure ignorance. I didn't FORCE anybody to pay ANY sort of money. I offered them the opportunity of knowledge, knowing about it and having CHOICE. Many people we're going to sign-up for it. Nipped it in the bud? You did no such thing whatsoever. I chose to take it off of New Grounds due to the mod's not liking it. I've shown no bitterness, I've stated facts, you since the start have showed bitterness and mockery of it. You should have grown up and messaged me, talked about it like a man instead of whining about it like a kid, and I would have probably agreed with you, stayed with the site, but taken the contest elsewhere.

Official Newgrounds contests have NEVER asked for money, and as such, contests based in the audio forums dont' ask for money either. Doing so would be a resounding conflict of interest on a site that provides itself to users for free.

don't*
I agree, I shouldn't have added "New Grounds" to it. I did to symbolize that it was a way to get more New Grounds MC's invested into the Audio Hip-Hop portal since its dead as-of-late. (But you ignorant Hip-Hop mods probably haven't noticed.)

Contest organizers can't do anything about that. That's life. Shit happens.

The dumbest possible way of looking at it.

I'm replying for everyone else's sake. If you do happen to read this reply, good.

Everyone else's sake? There were far more people who wanted to be apart of it than against it. You replied for the weak-side of the topic. Not "everyone else's sake"

He's just one of many dedicated users in the Audio forums. Please don't direct your bitter retort towards him or Rucklo.

I know that, I didn't direct any bitterness towards Red. I gave him props. Are you too dumb to read now?

I don't recall any Newgrounds audio contests ever asking for money like that.

And the fact that it's being done at the same time as public interest is being drummed up for this competition by BigRed and using this competition as a contacts list seems predatory.

I didn't use this competition as a contacts list. I used NG rappers as a contacts list. Big Red's competition has nothing to do with this competition. I've since gotten rid of the $10 fee and taken it off of New Grounds due to Rucklo's ignorance.

People hating on the $10 fee is sillier than the $10 fee itself actually.
Was trying to give the MC's motivation to STAY in the battles as I had noticed in most competitions, a lot of MC's drop-out for fake reasons such as "my mic broke" and then post a new song the next day.

You can reply but I will not respond. I don't check Big Red's NGHH Winter Battles forum usually.

Good luck on your NGHH Competitions Red, props to you for bringing it to New Grounds.

Just, screw it, I can not keep doing this battle beat shit over and over. I'm getting worse and worse at it.
If you wanna use Hiroshima, go ahead, its got like 5 or 6 16 bar verses.

Problem solved. Peace.

Hey Red, that last beat I made definitely wasn't up to par, and I don't even know if this one is but I tried my go at a new one.

Here it is! Check it out, I think its suitable for a battle.

I tried to keep the over beat as sampled as possible because I figured that would be better for a battle. So its basically a loop with a few switch-ups at the end.
