I tried my very best to include as many suggestions as possible as legitimate contenders. Like I said, there were a LOT of potential choices for this ranking. Alignment with the song’s lyrical content & overall tone.Now, although it’s categorized, this is still a ranked list, and thus there are criteria I used when picking beats. I think doing the same thing with Hip Hop beats will not only give every sub genre a chance to shine, but it’ll also prevent one category from completely dominating the list. Instead of compiling all contenders into a potential pool, they divide them into categories, select the best choice from each one, and then rank the chosen representatives. For those who don’t know, Cinefix is an awesome YouTube channel that does category-based rankings. Which is why I resulted on making this list Cinefix-styled.
Rather it was the variety across multiple sub genres that made narrowing down a definitive list nearly impossible. The amount of suggestions (over 40) wasn’t necessarily the problem. The amount of feedback I received was awesome, but there was one issue: nearly every person had entirely different picks. I’ve decided to compile a list of the most iconic, influential, and well-executed beats of the genre’s young lifespan.Īs usual, I turned to the Facebook community for some helpful suggestions. With that in mind, it’s not uncommon to find records that are chiefly remembered for their beats.Īnd that’s what this list is going to focus on. On the flip side, a sick track can completely compensate for lackluster rhymes–like with Young MC’s “ Bust A Move“. Here’s something you might know: Hip Hop beats are important.Ī song could have lyrics written by God herself, but a shoddy beat can doom it to fall on deaf ears.
