Niggas in Paris is simple too yet it's amazing. Still Dre should've been in the top 10, it's an anthem, everyone knows it. It's like Niggas in Paris on steroids.

Nuthin' But A G Thang made it, let's be happy bout that.

Still DRE is my all-time favorite beat. I really dont care for half of that top 10, but whatever.

does it need to be overproduced like most shit today? The booming hypnotizing piano combined with the drums and subtle violin are beautiful and honestly do not need any further assistance. It's one of the most memorable beats ever. Scott Storch did his thang with that piano, MY GAWD.

It's subjective, but that's a p good top 10. Don't feel like going through all that, but wear did What You Know land?

I think Mathematics by Mos Def deserves a spot. Same with It Was a Good Day by Ice Cube. Let's be honest this list is the top 10 classic beats, so on those qualifications those two songs deserve a spot.
