There are only 3 beats from the 80s on here :scusthov:
Only 5 beats total before the Chronic dropped :scust:
It’s crazy how the ignorant have gained influential positions and are now acting as if hip hop started with Aint Nothing But A G Thang.

Not a bad top 20, but The Message has been a hit 4 times now in 3 different decades, it's gotta be top 10. And A Milli is dope because of Wayne in his prime, not the beat.

They've already successfully redefined the time frame for when "The Golden Era" occurred.

List is whatever (except "Electric Relaxation" should be WAY higher, and there's no way "Power" is a top 10 beat GTFOH), but to me, for a few of these they've got the wrong song for the artist listed:

• Camp Lo - "Cooley High" >>>> "Luchini"
• Tupac - many songs (especially "So Many Tears" or "Pain") >>> "Ambitionz As A Ridah"
• Pharcyde - "Passin Me By" >>> "Runnin'"
• Nas - many songs (take your pick) >>> "NY State of Mind"
• Jay-Z - many songs (take your pick) >>> "Big Pimpin" (that ain't even the best Jay/Timbo beat)

Also....love seeing C-Murder "Down 4 My nikkas" on here, who DOESNT have a club fight story with THAT song. :russ:

Ya'll missing the point, GREATEST entails more than just a beat that you personally feel is great. It isn't even about the artist, it's about THE BEAT itself.

Camp Lo's "Cooley High" is nowhere near as iconic as "Luchini". In fact, "Cooley High" is just a dope beat. Throw on "Luchini" and see the response when the first note drops.

2Pac- Ambitionz AZ A Ridah is ICONIC. It is a beat that other rappers have used on their albums without changing a thing about it.

I agree with you on Pharcyde.

Nas's "NY State of Mind" is iconic.

"Big Pimpin" was a game changer. And it still goes. I heard this played at a wedding a couple of years back.

Lil Wayne "A Milli"

A Milli is dope because of Wayne in his prime, not the beat.

"A Milli" definitely belongs on that list. The beat is a huge part of Wayne being what he became. Name a rap record that really didn't have a hook, but just a sample repeating the same phrase that was more successful than "A Milli". As soon as you hear that vocal sample "a Milli a Milli a milli", you instantly knew what it was. Not even the vocal sample, but the little intro on the beat. That beat was a freestyle classic. Other artists were going to Bangladesh to get a beat that sounded like that. I don't even like the beat by itself, but still respect what it did.

Yeah that’s bullshyt. People will say the 80s had wack beats and how these days production is so much better but at the same time a song like Players joint is for all intents & purposes the exact same beat 40 years later. That Latto song is the same beat as the old Mariah song which itself is a basic reworking of that old Jekyll & Hyde song. That Weeknd song with 21 is a mix of EPMD, Fugees and that wack ass Mario song. Popular songs take an old beat and literally all they do is put a trap style hi hat on it and suddenly the kids love it.

Just noticed Missy in the top 10 again. These Complex, Spotify type c*nts LOVE putting Missy Elliot ahead of legends like Dre and the like. Wtf is the go with that shyt :mindblown:

Is this Trillville song a joke? Is this an example hipsters trying to show they’re actually up on some obscure shyt? You really going to say this is a TOP 25 beat OF ALL TIME!!?
