my two favorite beats are :
1. one eleven by J Dilla
2. Dead Presidents by Ski beatz

Honorable Mentions:
Method Man by Rza
All Caps by Madlib
Feather by Nujabes
Electric Relaxation by Q tip
Be by No I.D

Too subjective and I don't think any of the choices are "the best", "Nas is like" is cool... I remember zonin on that for dayssss.

For me, "Dre Day" is up there and "Let me ride" is close.

"Get out my way" by Sha Money XL is strong

"Caught out there" is probably my favorite ^_^

you can argue so many different tracks when talking about greatest hip-hop beat ever. From the list I'd probably have to go with T.R.O.Y.
 
I always wondered why no matter what forum or thread I go to if I see this exactly thread "Hard Knock Life" never comes up. Its honestly one of the greatest beats Ive ever heard
 
Nas Is Like is the best beat. But there are many equally good beats like Real Hip Hop, Full Clip, Classic etc.
 
Very hard to tell wich the best hip hop beat ever. But probably one of the beats on Dre's The Chronic ....This production there was alien
