I can’t do 8! fukk it, I got 11….. 93 Til Infinity….. The track takes you to a place of pure classic HipHop that’s sooo refreshing to hear! It just sticks out constantly every time I hear it and Ice Cream! Rza was on some never heard before type of beat making shyt with the unusual Shaolin/Chinese melodies. shyt is Hard! Simple but, a superior beat production. Top this! 🫵

Shocked at all these replies honestly

Crazy to see others say We Gon Make It. That song literally woke me out my sleep the first time I heard it, was on BET. I thought I was still dreaming cuz it was so hard.

I forgot about dynasty intro and where I'm from by hov

 

[KBtheKey]

Prolly any 8 beats off the stoned immaculate, in no specific order. Privacy glass was top 4 tho

First time I heard Lord Knows was that Big Krit freestyle.. that was another that had my face scrunched up.. I didn't hear the actual beat in full till years later.. had no idea who the beat actually belonged to but I could tell it was Just

Action Bronson - Terry

Not even into Action like that... don't know how I came across this beat but thank God I did

Lord Knows….The drums are exploding all over the track combined with the massive sound of the choir is superb! Sounds like the return of Jesus!

 

[ILLMMORTAL]

I can think of a few but these are the eight that comes to mind:

Plug Tunin' - De La Soul
My Philosophy - BDP
Strictly Business - EPMD
That Girl Is A Slut - Just Ice
Stick'Em - Fat Boys
Murder Rap - Above The Law
Paid In Full - Eric B and Rakim
Goin' Off - Biz Markie

You a ill nikka and this a ill azz list,and for that you’ve just been ILLMMORTALIZED!
