Sickest Rap Beats?

[paidelr]

Always liked Lil Flip- Game Over along with Ludacris-Teamwork and Trick Daddy-Lets Go.

What beats you think totally make the song?

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Hypnotize' by Notorious BIG has one heck of a beat, although the lyrics are brilliant too.

Oh and 'Light your ass on fire' by Busta Rhymes has one heck of a beat.

[triplexpac]

Tupac - Can't C Me

[Guest Mr McFarlane]

Yo dawg, Sick is so 99. It's ill now nigga.

I've taken a liking to a lot of Fat Joe's beats, particularly Lean Back and My Lifestyle. I don't really care for the lyricism (or lack thereof) or Fat Joe himself, but those are some awesome beats, they have a menacing quality to them.

The Cure - Sage Francis

Even more human than human - X-ecutioners and Slug

Those are good off the top of my head.

Nas - Get Down

Nas - Suicide Bounce

Nas - The World is Yours

Talib Kweli - Get By

Talib Kweli - We Got the Beat

Fat Joe - Lean Back (remix)

Dr Dre - Still Dre

50 Cent - Heat

2Pac - Me and My Girlfriend (and every version spawned since)

Dizzee Rascal - Fix Up, Look Sharp

Dizzee Rascal - Fickle

The Game - Church for Thugs

Some of those (50, Game, Fat Joe) may not be brilliant lyrically, but are fucking awesome head-nodding tunes.

[The LBTN Express]

Any Stoupe beat that he's done with Jedi Mind, plus the whole of the Rip The Jacker album (that was pure gold).

Plus a lot of RZA's stuff on Genius/GZA's Liquid Swords. That's just some great Dark Fu production and beats.

EDIT: Added an 's'

Speak of RZA & The Wu reminds me of another favorite..

Theodore Unit's Who Are We? ft. Bonecrusher, Ghostface & Trife

It's a kinda weird beat, it samples & loops the beginning of the Scooby-Doo theme :|

[Lord Nibbler]

My Lifestyle.

[Guest Weaf]

Hmmm...There's so many.

Souls of Mischief: 93 Till Ifinity - As soon as the beat kicks in I'm reminded instantly of summer, it mixes jazz beats with old school hip-hop perfectly. I urge anyone who hasn't heard of them to download this track.

Tupac: California Love - This is one of Dre's best beats, it just so bumping. Perfect car music.

Roots Manuva: Witness - What can be said about this? It's got a killer hook, in fact the instrumental version of it is probably more popular than the original. You're guaranteed a reaction if you drop this in a club.

Snoop Dog: What's my name? - It may be somewhat cheesy but it's just about the right side of cheesy.

Cypress Hill: Insane in the brain - Awesome.

[Driver The Naniwa]

The "Deltron 3030" cd is amazing due in part to Dan The Automater's great beats and production. RZA and DJ Premier are my other two favorite producers. Their production makes any song enjoyable for me. Alchemist, Kanye West, Dr. Dre, DJ HI-Tek, and Dizzie Rascal also produce stuff that great. Yeah, I was too lazy to list any specific songs but check out any songs from the guys I talked about and you'll be all good. :thumbsup:

I'd kill for an instrumental of Where You At? by Kanye West, The Game & Ludacris. Fucking awesome beat.

Then I'd kill you for it once you get it. Be careful what you wish for.

Speaking of Luda ... "U Got a Problem", leading off his first album. Nice beat on that one. Also was in the movie Empire, if anyone remembers that movie/scene?

[tristy]

Let it be known that Jimmy sent the instrumental to me.

[Lowerdeck]

*boards next plane from LaGuardia to Nashville*

Another good beat: "Let's Start a Riot" by Three 6 Mafia, especially right around the end.

[Ash J. Williams]

187um/Deep Cover by Dr. Dre
