What's the SICKEST BEAT Jay-Z ever spit on?

First song I thought of when I read the thread title...

Can't believe this song hasn't come up yet :

This song is the reason why he became Hov...honorable mention status.

I disagree.

When you first heard that beat come on with the two little bass notes, then you heard the first 8 measures
you thought "damn, what can Jay do on this?" Because at that point all he was kickin' was laid back rhymes
on quasi-retro, hustler/player beats. He knew he had some hellafied chit with that beat, so the flow had to be on point.

i knew old jay. so i already knew he was going to give you that jay and jaz o flow

He's not the best beat picker but he is very good at it.

He has rapped over too many Swizz beats to be the best

Hardly any rapper has rapped over as many classic beats as Jay Z. Swizz's beats for Jay have been some of his best.

Rick Ross

Ross, no doubt has a good ear for beats, but when you break down the beats he's rapped over vs. the beats that Jay Z rapped over, it's not even close. There's classic beats in this thread. Beats that are legendary in their own right.

It's probably that beat where the sample is "even though what we do is wrong..... Wrong, etc" I can't remember the song though

Brooklyn (Go Hard) is underrated to me

Santigold

 

[Rich Spirit]

Where I'm From
Meet the Parents

So many but for me the prelude was mad cinematic.
