Who call a song a "beat"

[CypherOne]

opinions eh? Can't live with 'em, can't teach them new tricks...

[Wopelka]

if calling a 'track' a 'beat' is a problem to you then i feel sorry for you. same as if watching a film with a few plot holes 'insults your intelligence' then i feel sorry for you. same as if you get angry having to wait for your host sequencer to load for 20 seconds then i feel sorry for you. same as if you're incapable of stringing a sentence together without complaining about something then i feel sorry for you. i hope you all get well soon

and this is your way of solving problems?!

Who in his right mind would degrade his own music so much to call it a beat

I know I'm getting old and my linguistic skills has not developed anything since the 80's, but each time I see a post "Listen to my new beats" on something like that I can not help to think that this must be some 8 year old who just got garageband or PSX music 2000 for xmas and have no faintest idea what the word beat means.

Happily we do not see that on KvR too much, but I saw even on Soundclick some twirp's song named "100 free beats" made it to the top 10.

I have to admit that I never even bother to download or listen to anybody who has such a low opinion of his own music to call it a beat.

In hip-hop culture, the word "beats" is slang for "tracks" or "instrumental tracks".

Those tracks would have drums, percussion, & keyboard parts. But yet, they will still call it "funky beats".

I call most of my tracks 'shite'.

i know it from hiphop, and to me a beat is more a rough layout than an outworked song. something to give a mc a hint to rap over. if its good it gets worked out (->song).

exactly. A beat is not some pop/rock song with 3 choruses and 3 verses. As Hip hop mainly is a beat with rapping on top. So, when there's no rapping .... ta da...it just a beat.

so why not call it a rhythm?

Because the rhythm IS the bass
And the bass IS the treble.

I see. And intelligence is implied by the ability to string together 'proper sentences' containing 'proper words'?

Perhaps my choice of the word 'idiot' was incorrect, and you take its meaning too literally.

The people using that language on message boards arent stupid people. They're mostly computer nerds, who get lots of cracked 3l33t w4r3z lol. Perhaps immature and devoid of dignity were better words?

Perhaps I (a college graduate who pays for his software, his computer, and his keyboards, and puts lots of effort in his music, and calls his compositions 'beats') am wrong to be offended by every single classification you have just levelled at me? Including the retracted one?

You obviosuly dont deal with trolls often logical arguments are useless!

Everyone chill out, jeez. its not a big deal. People can use slang if they want. People can be proper if they wish. Let the "market" judge whos cooler.

Simon Cowell thinks these beats sucks!

People calling their tunes "songs" when there's no vocal bugs me a bit. But only a little bit.

i usually call my tracks "morceaux", but that's because i don't speak english IRL.

[Stupid American Pig]

I usually just call my tracks shite and delete them
