According to who? What exact criteria's?

This is just another random list done by mark ass writers or whatever the fukk. I wanna see what was the criteria. Otherwise it's as legit as some random youtube video.


They don't have TROY in top 20, but they put that overrated clipse beat at top 3. Because oh wow a lot of rappers did their freestyle on this simple ass beat.

In da club is still the biggest hit since 2003 and they couldn't even mention it in top 50?

It's a list done by marks. They were basically told to include a certain amount of beats from each era and they just did it off top of their head.

Where is PSK? Where is How could I just kill a man? You got's to chill? Ante up? Rebel without a pause?

Missy Elliot always getting overrated on these lists. Get ur freak on is not a top 10 beat. Jadakiss We gonna make it in top 15??? Why? Sicko mode in top 10, oh lawd, that beat is all over the place, in a bad way. "three average beats in a song, OMG whatta classic". Could've easily found better drake song if the criteria was to have drake in top 10.
They seriously put Trillville's Some Cut in a top 25 :laff: even god damn Lil Jon's Get Low would destroy this beat.

Great post. I don’t even know what criteria you could use for a greatest beats list.
Commercial success?
Innovation?
Influence?
Longevity?

They gave zero explanation. I wanna see one of these so called reviewers pick up at least one classic album and review every song from first to last. Let alone reviewing a whole genre and its over four decades of work.

None of them can, because they are bunch of marks. Anyone that considers "trillville some cut" one of the greatest instrumentals ever, with that annoying squeaking bed sound throughout the entire song, is a fukking retard. Imagine turning 6AM alarm clock sound into instrumental and somebody calling that shyt a top 25 beat ever :dead:



Holly shyt! Let me buss some freestyle in this bytch: Dead in the middle of Little Italy. Little did we know that we riddled two middlemen who didn't do diddly :leon:

Top 10 beat ever actually!

Destroys a good portion of the songs in that list. And it could be argued as an even better track than Dilla's "Runnin",

But oh well apparently squeaky bed sound with generic crunk shyt is one of the most genius sounds in Hip Hop history to these marks.

  • No corny Eminem beats included
  • No cheap thot rap included
  • Sicko Mode is like 5 different beats, a couple of which are mid
  • A Milli, nor Get Ur Freak On shouldn’t be where it is
Overall, list ain’t that bad, all things considered. :ehh:

Just say commercially successful beat

because I dont even know how you could make that detemination

Personally, I wouldn’t call Grindin or Shook Ones commercially successful.

I came to see if Mass Appeal was on the list and it is. 33 is entirely too low, but it was on there. :ehh:

That's not a terrible list. I'm sure we could vehemently argue about 20 of the beats but most of them have a case.
