In Complex’s most recent round table discussion with G.O.O.D. music, Common talks about passing on Kanye beats that later become someone else’s hit. In “Everything I Am,” back in ’07, Kanye yawn-raps “Common passed on this beat I made it to a jam.” The song ended up great, but I still think it would have made so much sense as a Common record. Maybe that’s why he passed. The sample taps Prince Phillip Mitchell’s “If We Can’t Be Lovers” and the scratches come from P.E.’s “Bring the Noise.”

Even though he sold it, “We Gone Make It” by Jadakiss should’ve been on the list
Alchemist made we gone make it.
pretty sure DJ Toomp made “Cant Tell Me Nothing”… it was originally a Jeezy song, whikch is why the ad-lib is there… thats bad, since you have it as his #1 beat… I could be wrong though
The song was produced by kanye AND dj toomp. plus kanye always has a bunch of people do additional vocals and what have you. that does not mean the song was originally for them. he could have had dj toomp take off the ad-libs if he really didnt want it there.
“Live Fast, Die Young” should have made top 5, and it’s not even on the list.
This list must of been made by a 15 year old hipster
