"Have you and Jay-Z done it any drug business together???"





The disconnect white folks have is crazy

 

[Ricky D]

Top 2 album intro and it ain't 2.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

They say this the first song Snoop recorded with Dre.

 

[Magic33]

Some of that list is someone's preferences of the songs as a whole, and not the actual beat.

That's not even a top five Dre beat.

AMilli is a loop, hell no

Power

When I hear the song title the beat should be in my head.

So if mixtapes were still a thing, people would be rapping over Sicko Mode?

 

[ahat]

Lol @ a milli being top5

 

[Magic33]

Can I borrow your *******.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

People gon have different opinions but this not a bad list.

 

[king j]

What you know > A Milli


List is wack

Let me ride > Still DRE

 

[blacklion23]

Definitely agree about Let Me Ride

 

[3stheluckynumbe]

T.I.’s “what you know” doesn’t belong in the same category as A Milli.

Loop or not, that record shook rap up. That’s when folks actually started taking Wayne seriously with his best rapper alive claims.

Let me ride might be my favorite Dre beat, it just feels like what Cali sounded in the 90s

 

[king j]

Wylin

a milli is trash ,what you know is light years better as far as production.

It’s damn near criminal that Toomp doesn’t have a beat on that list.

 

[3stheluckynumbe]

I definitely agree that Toomp is under appreciated, idk if T. I. run would’ve been possible without Toomp’s production. I’m not even talking about the production itself, that song is definitely more complex, I’m speaking about how the song resonated.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

What You Know is a way better beat than A Milli. In every aspect.

Whats your top 5 Dre beats?

 

[6pac]

A Milli kinda changed the sound of rap for a few minutes lol

This Is a horrible example and I’m not saying there’s anything good about this song but this beat style had a run because of A Milli





A Milli and BMF are Top 10-15 just off how they changed the rap game for better or worse

 

[Ricky D]

BMF?




**** Wit Dre Day and Deeez Nuuuts > Still D.R.E.

 

[king j]

Hard in da paint is the precursor to BMF, w/o that song there’s no BMF.

A Millie changed rap?








The impact of What You Know led to all this

 

[JRaW’d]

Any of yall kno a good program for editing songs/mp3 files?

Like the kinda program that allows you to seamlessly crop out a **** verse.

 

[6pac]

A Millie changed rap?

A Milli definitely spawned a bunch of knockoff beats/“a sound” until BMF…What You Know is one of the best beats of all time but I don’t know if all those are directly from What You Know as opposed to just ****** wanting a Toomp beat lol

BMF?

And BMF took us out of that post A Milli era and is the reason why everyone is still on Lex Luger adjacent drums till this day, Shawty Redd invented that sound but BMF put it on that national spotlight and had a bunch of knockoff records to where trap beats in that style never left the mainstream/evolved

What you think made _'s want a beat from Toomp? It's a coincidence that he was in demand after What You Know and those beats sounded like that?

 

[Magic33]

Whats your top 5 Dre beats?

I'd put stuff like Dopeman, Always Into Something, Boyz N Da Hood, Eazy Duz It, Murder Was The Case, Nuthin But A....
