2. Kanye West “Jesus Walks” (2004)
Album: The College Dropout
Kanye has always been extra proud of this track. Hence “I made Jesus Walks, I’m never going to hell.” On “Last Call,” he disses sightless A&R’s that didn’t sign him even after having played “Jesus Walks” for them. On 60 Minutes, Kanye quickly puts together a beat for this old, white interviewer, who asks for clarification when Kanye starts talking about a “dope-ass beat.” He refers to the beat he had just made as “an alright beat,” but mentions “Jesus Walks” as the quintessential “dope-ass” beat. He uses a sample of the gospel song “Walk With Me,” performed by the Addicts Rehabilitation Center Choir. This was also one of his first collaborations with hip hop violinist Miri Ben-Ari. It ends up being quite the dope-ass beat, dope enough to maintain seriousness even while he makes a Happy Gilmore reference.

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
