13. Kanye West “Last Call” (2004)
Album: The College Dropout
It’s interesting to think that the samples from “Diamonds” and “Last Call” were picked, at least partially, out of convenience. The “diamonds are forever” snippet was too relevant to the state of the dynasty to be passed up, so the song and the beat had to be built around that lyric. In the case of “Last Call,” the sample was Bette Midler’s “Mr. Rockefeller,” which again, was too relevant to Kanye’s story of being signed to the Roc. It’s just crazy that it ends up working out so well because it means that Kanye could really turn almost anything into an album-worthy beat. He must have liked this one a lot, too, because he used it for his longest track to date.

really? the takeover as number 1? smh
i’m not reading 26 different pages for what’s spose to be 1 fkin list! greedy bastards just want ad-view money.
I think this is accurate list with the exception of a few tracks( spend the night-marey carey, wouldn’t get far- game, a star is born- jay z )
Too lazy to go through whole list, but Through The Wire should at least be in top 5
Very nice list! Ya’ll shoulda put Camron’s Dead Or Alive, Do Or Die’s Paid the Price, Freeway-Hear The Song.
This track isn’t a Bette Midler sample, they had to recreate it in order to clear. 5iveit
All I know is “Through The Wire” and “Down”(Cam’Ron) are some energetic azz beats
Do Or Die – Higher was one of my favorites
An 88 Keys list would be awesome
