Is TROY the greatest hip hop beat of all time?

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Just saw a post from Pete Rock calling it the greatest beat of all time

What say yall?

 

[5th Letter]

It’s in the conversation

 

[TonyDubbz]

top 5 for sure

 

[Lab Baby]

One of the most well comstructed beats of all time IMO. From the intro that sounds like a train riding thru heaven, to the filtered out horns from one part of the sample to the bass from another part of the sample kicking in, to the other sample drop at the end of the hook. A perfect beat if you ask me... trying to top it would just be replicating it.

 

[A-List]

No argument from me...definitely somewhere in my top 5

 

[AllElite617]

CREAM and Quiet Storm are better.

 

[Goldie]

1 of Pete rocks 4 good beats

 

[thefrenchwood]

To answer that question directly, no.

That being said, it’s top 10 for sure.

 

[Mister B. M. Ed.]

Yes.

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

This goes id prolly remove the hook and let the horns breathe

 

[Tayboo]

Top 10 for sure. Best ever though...nah

You can prove what the best Hip Hop beats are.

The best Hip Hop beats are the beats that the most people freestyle to.

Considering nobody ever freestyles to TROY, the answer is no. Not even top 10.

 

[IUTpt2]

If it ain't the greatest beat, it's one of the greatest beats of all time.

 

[Northside7]

Good beat but definitely not GOAT.

Not even top 10.

Shook ones pt 2, The worlds is yours, and Runnin are better IMO

@Goldie

 

[grYmes]

One of the greatest but not THE greatest.

 

[BDBOULIBALY]

It’s the quintessential hip hop beat to me

 

[mryounggun]

I’m legit not trying to be disrespectful, cuz Pete Rock is Pete Rock.

But TROY doesn’t crack my top 50 hip hop beats.

Is it just me?
