1. fabolous - holla back (young'n)

yep this beat is hot to death, although its very neptunes. making a top 15 is ridiculously difficult though...i'm not even gonna try.

well...i'l throw a few out there

terrorist - vadim
southern hosp - ludacris
8 steps - co flow
hip hop - dead prez
thick - ditc
br right - trina

ante up is hype and all that but i like the 'follow instructions' beat better.

[Mcmac]

royce da 5 9 - boom

[So Ruff]

in no order (because that would be very difficult):

Nas Is Like - Nas
187 - Dre & Snoop
Above The Clouds - Gang Starr
Supa Star - Group Home
I'll Bee Dat! - Redman
Green Island - Redman
The Big East - Masta Ace
Criminology - Rae & Ghostface

[SobaViolence]

[EN[i]GMA]

I have a thing for the orchestral/violin driven beats. Oh well:

7L & Esoteric - 7L - Murder Death Kill
7LES 7L - Rise of the Rebel
Buck 65 - Sleep Apnoea (Though I don't know if it's fair to say this is really his beat, it's just Amon Duul's 'Kismet' slowed down with some ambient sounds around it. Oh well, I like the loop.)
Buck 65 - Wicked and Weird
Non Phixion - Necro (I assume) - 5 Boros
Non Phixion - Cestyle - Legacy
Non Phixion - Necro (I would guess) 14 Years of Rap
Company Flow - El Producto - Silence
Edan - Key-Bored
Edan - Making Planets (The second beat, the one Lif raps over)
Jedi Mind Tricks - Stoupe - Animal Rap
Deltron 3030 - Dan the Automator - 3030
DJ Format - Vicious Battle Raps
Beastie Boys - Stand Together (Once the guitar comes in)
Beastie Boys - A Year and a Day (Again, it's the guitar loop)
And I feel the need to add a Wu-Tang clan beat. Uzi or CREAM or something like that. Take your pick.


And basically everything from Non Phixion/Necro, CoFlow/El-P, JMT/Stoupe, 7L, Buck 65, Edan and the Beastie Boys is well produced.

[The Notorious LOL]

which version of animal rap? one is exceedingly gay with violins, one is exceedingly cool with a girl singing.

[Defjuxiste]

There are so much beats than I can't remember all. So my top producer (in the disorder):

-Blueprint
-Jurassic 5
-Beastie boys (of course)
-RJD2
-El-p
-DJ krush
-Dj Shadow
-Edan
-The herbaliser
and more...

[EN[i]GMA]

I like the violins one.

I thought the girl singing one was quite gay, even though everyone seems to jock it.

It's hella mediocre.

I'll give it another listen.

[EN[i]GMA]

Just as I suspected.

The actual vocal sample is quite good, I must admit, but the backing beat is kind of weak.

[mickill]

It wasn't good or anything, but it didn't suck ass either. It's still their weakest album, though, I think. No wait, that would be Juvenile Hell, I guess.

dave

p.s. i realise a few of these beats aren't exactly real complex or anything, but their my faves for different reasons.

[roosta]

ive seen "hip-hop" by dead prez attributed to kanye a couple of times....but i've never believed it.

[dave790]

it's not...at least i don't think so.

it certainly doesn't sound like a kanye beat...i know the guy tries different things but there's a recognisable quality to most of his beats...hip hop is somewhere else!

[Mcmac]

a few homo choices there mista F...and why not choose your own sick song 'stand clear'? :rolleyes:

[adam_f]

I'm guessing you're making a joke about how there also is a producer that goes by adam_f. I'm not him, fuckhead.

[dave790]

I'm taking it you two have had disagreements in the past or something? Cos that's a bit of a harsh response, seems more of a reference to the same name that a joke, pretty harmless if you ask me.

Then again, no one did, so I apologise for interfering. Some decent lists about either way.

dave

[Mcmac]

^ nah don't worry bout it mate
I'm guessing you're making a joke about how there also is a producer that goes by adam_f. I'm not him, fuckhead.

Sorry for the harshness. I was still pretty medicated up.

And my real name is adam, and my last name begins with f, and I just added the underscore for flashiness. I didn't even know he was a producer until roosta told me.

[Mcmac]

yeah i didnt know there was until i saw a song credited to him and i thought of your screen name. download 'stand clear' and tell me what you think, it has an insane beat. its off the ali g inda house soundtrack too i think haha
