It’s a simple idea, and executed pretty well: Dopetracks adapts the Youtube “video response” scheme into an online MC battle. The separation of work between beat-making and rhyming is a particularly savvy move, although Mashable correctly points out the lameness of the voting system not applying to beats. I suppose the beatsmith’s reward is in getting MC’s to use their stuff in the first place.
There isn’t much there yet, and I didn’t find any tracks I particularly like– but the “Duble It” beat is pleasingly head-noddable.
Dopetracks is worth keeping an eye on.
**More**: It appears that Dopetracks user ‘Chali2na‘ is the real thing.

The only time I say dope is if I’m lookin’ for a bag of weed
If you’re in Cali (where we all know the best weed is), you won’t get shit if you ask for dope. Maybe some smack…
I still hear the word “dope” around my recording studio all the time, but never referring to weed. Only my 65 year old dad still calls weed “dope”.
nice site! fun.
