Masters of Production

The Beat Laboratory

I've always been one who has appreciated a really good beat, even if the rap on it isn't as great.  Today I wanted to bring you some songs with sick beats, and lucky for you the rappers on the tracks are some of the best.  Today I've got tracks from two of the best hip hop producers of all time who have greatly changed the face of hip hop.  Ladies and Gentlemen, Hi-Tek and DJ Premier, legends in the art of production.

For clarification, Reflection Eternal is Talib Kweli + Hi Tek, Gang Starr is DJ Premier + Guru.

Something 2 Ride 2

These are some classic hip hop tracks that are my personal favorites and always being played on my ipod. None of this radio hyped bullshit, these are some deep lyrics, smooth flows, and huge beats..

Royce da 5'9" and Phonte - Something 2 Ride 2

This is a great song to let spin and just cruise....

I love phonte too, hes reppin North Carolina

Young Buck - Riding Down The Freeway

Another great track to cruise to, and i'm crazy about this chorus! its so catchy, impossible to get out of your head

Gang Starr - Code Of The Streets
I'm a huge Gang Starr fan, got to love Guru's monotone flow and anything DJ Premier produces is straight fire.

Wu Tang Clan - Triumph
One of the best rap groups of all time, I love anything Wu and all the rappers in the crew.

Big L - Flamboyant
Too bad Big L checked out early, Guru too for that matter, he was a great MC.

Andre Nickatina - My Homeboy's Chevy
Got to love Nicky, he has great flow and one of my favorite voices.

Devin The Dude - Doobie Ashtray

Super chill beat, super chill song, and even a happy ending.
"why they do me that way?"

A Tribe Called Quest - Check The Rhyme

Tribe is another great rap group, I love how Phife and Q-Tip go in on this one.

Notorious B.I.G. - The Ten Crack Commandments

THE EAST COAST OVERDOSE! He may be last on this post, but Notorious is number one on my list, you just can't get any better than biggie.

These first few posts are muuchhh longer than they usually will be, but thats because they are some of my favorite tracks right now in every area, just so you can kind of get to know me.
