Who has the best beat on Illmatic though?

[Ohene]

Inspired by the comments in this interview :

where Vlad said Akinyele said that apparently ppl were tryna top Large Professor when they made / submitted their beats for Nas. Checking the production credits... i dont think anybody topped him though.

It Aint Hard to Tell is easily the best beat to me and best song as a whole. Best vid too



#2 goes to Represent

 

[Ohene]

the bassline on NY state of mind though

 

[QU Hectic]

Large Pro with Half Time
