HECK NO. yall have some bad taste.


lets make this simple. jay'z hardest beats mostly came on the crew album the Dynasty Roc La Familia.

but overall it was simple

So Ghetto (is so obvious)





Hard Knock Life(ghetto Anthem) – yeah I got sick of hearing but when that first hit..”take the bass out”




Song Cry – had a nucca darn near tearing up




Dead Presidents




Imaginary Player … just so smooth




streets is watching




obviously big pimpin is up there. That beat that Timbaland stole from the arab man was still lit

no. the beat was cool. but it was the flow and the beat that did it. but it was by no means the sickest beat standing on its on.

these tracks like dear summer and HOVA remind me of that Jay Z library file I used to have...had everything in it but I lost it....

Anyone got a new link?

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.

How the hell did I forget Allure?

I swear, i thought it was a sample, but pharrell was just that sick on the chords

 

[CrimsonTider]

Tough question because a large portion of Jay's success is his beat selection..

The correct answer is probably PSA though..

No he doesnt but he is up there

 

[Professor Polo]

No he doesnt but he is up there

huh?

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
