10. Jay-Z “Heart of the City (Ain’t No Love)” (2001)
Album: The Blueprint
08 Heart Of The City (Ain’t No Love)
At this point in his career, Kanye had just been evicted from his apartment in Chicago, so he decided to venture east and try his luck in the Big Apple. The first track he made once he got there was this one, which he had originally intended for DMX. Once Jay heard it, he knew he needed it to deliver classic lines like “sensitive thugs, y’all all need hugs.” If you listen to the sample, Bobby Bland’s “Ain’t No Love In the Heart of the City,” the flip is very simple — it really didn’t take much more than having an ear for the right sound. And the Kanye juice, of course.

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

I thought Spaceship should be on this list.
