What is the greatest Hip-Hop Beat Ever?

You tell me.

I think its Kanye West's "Dreams" by the Game

-The drums are silly
-The synths are moving
-The bass is petrifying
-The guitar is masterful
-The vocal samples are perfect

What is your opinion and what do you think is the best beat ever?

Ofc not dreams

1 : Still Dre by Scott Storch
2 : It Was A Good Day by DJ Pooh
3 : California Love by Dre
 
Man, you can't make a poll like this, it's just not possible. It's a matter of opinion. Then you put into play industry politics, marketing, popularity, who is on the track etc.....

If I had to pick from what's on the list I'd say Dead Presidents II, but I still wouldn't consider it one of the greatest. It's just a matter of taste. And you picked songs from albums that were monumental in hip-hop, but not for their production.

There are tons of underground tracks that have ridiculously great production but because of the small-scale popularity of the artist you won't see them mentioned on a thread like this.
 
T.R.O.Y.

If you're a real producer yourself (even though i'm not) you would know how technical Pete Rock beats are. He was and still is almost like being a real musician with sampling, check those basslines.
He was doing stuff nobody was doing in the 90s. I wouldn't say Pete Rock is the best of all time maybe but he was the best of the 90s.

He's a better producer than DJ Premier technically. Even though i think DJ Premier produced the best Hip-Hop album of all time with Moment Of Truth. Some of y'all think i'm ignorant though but Moment Of Truth is a straight up classic and 1 of the best rap albums of all time.
I personally think Jay-Z's Blueprint is the best album since the 2000s though.
