Track A, my opinion is that the hip hop beat just didn't fit well with vocals and I personally get deterred when the vocals aren't prominent. It is a mixing competition but I believe vocals should still have a big presence in mixes.
Track B, didn't understand why the rap was in it, felt like it was just placed there to fill up space even though your mix was only a minute long. However, the beats fit better with the vocals than track A.
Track B takes my vote.

vote: B
B was really random as far as the lyrics but it was more hype for sure

A gets my vote*
A was good- besides the different lyrics, I didn't see as much variation in the beats (but I guess that's how a song is?);something to consider for the dj i guess
B was also good, though I think it didn't hit as hard for me, the vocals at the end seemed forced.

i love biggie. so B wins this is my mind.
Track A sounded like it was just layers, but that could be my partially ignorant ears. layers that weren't completely synced at one or two parts.
Track B had more hype and the random biggie lyrics made sense to me. would easily bump b before A. cleaner, smoother, and more NY rep

Both tracks were mixed really well. This one is tough.
Track A wins it for me though.

Track B
Track B - starts off too randomly (lyrics come in too quickly) but echoes were cool and the Ghar Aja Sohneya beat kicks in nicely, real smooth, creative choice there. I actually thought the biggie lyrics made it sound more ominous and helped build suspense - i thought it was a fine choice. the second time the song's lyrics come in, im talkin about 47sec, thats really well placed and hit really really well for me.
Track A - took the slower route. intro started off kinda boring, no real energy. Dhola song came in heallllllla nicely though. gun shot ended it too abrutply though, I REALLY wish you had let that sentence of the song finish, it wouldve been a nice touch. Song's lyrics came in really sick, Im talkin bout 43sec. I think the volume was perfectly adjusted here, made the vocals seem kinda foggy and mysterious. I think that added gravitas to the song. I also like the nice closure we get on the track from the instrumental beats from 1:05 onward.
I think overall Track B took a more creative route and was a mix that required more skill. It seemed to juggle more tracks/effects and had more suspenseful/spontaneous moments than Track A. Track A was a simple, constant, consistent concept but I felt the spice of Track B put it ahead.
My Vote: Track B

explanation on why biggie is all over these mixes: both dj's are aeg's main dj's, aeg prides itself on representing new york hip hop music in its mixes, and biggie is a staple (we have had biggie samples in almost every aeg mix made in the last 3 years), biggie=ny=aeg. there will be biggie samples in aeg tracks for the rest of aeg's existence. hip hop is as much a part of our lives as bhangra is, and we like to represent both genres as a reflection of who we are as new yorkers. (which is why aeg has more hip hop in its mixes than most other teams on the circuit).
