5. Cam’ron f/ Kanye West & Syleena Johnson “Down & Out” (2004)
Album: Purple Haze
03 Down And Out[feat. KanYe West and Syleena Johnson]
This beat is largely attributed to Brian “All Day” Miller, but at this point, Kanye West is more of an aesthetic project than a person, anyway, so we’ll call this one of “his” best. The “Strung Out” sample from William Bell & Mavis Staples is a testament to Kanye’s “resurgence of the soul sound” that he mentions on “Last Call.” At the beginning, I’m not sure if Cam says “Kanye this that 1970’s heroin (hence, strung out) flow” or “…this that 1970’s Heron (Gil-Scott) flow” (who battled substance abuse, also ‘strung out’). Either way, this track definitely welcomes Cam’s Harlem drawl, telling you the kind of cases he gets (court, brief, suit, Cris), which hopefully will also see a resurgence.

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
