@@basquiatttt A top 5 takes some serious thought for me. There are so many dope tracks! I've been stuck on "Square one - Until Then" lately. Also "Hex One" hes got a lot of dope tracks, check livin proof tho. Scienz of Life - Down by law, Nujabes - Waiting For The Clouds, 7th Foul Nation - Poverties Paradise, Ran Reed - Real Niggas. My top will definitely change, it always does. You mind sharing some of your favorites?

Bro we know what real rap sounds like. Remember though that the DJ’s and producers have a lot of influence on what makes a track great. A lot of these 90’s tracks have amazing samples and that’s usually what separates yesterday’s rap from today. Not including that mumble BS.

you're right don Juan. The sound quality is just too clean. That's the reason why cats that still use the sp-12 and sp-1200 are still getting props because people love the sound quality.

There are so many factors that make this a masterpiece of a track, I'll just say my favorite and it's that kick drum sound plus that pattern!! so unique that I hardly remind of any hip hop track even just similar, it adds a sick bounce to the mellow main sample and the result is just wow! Can't stop cruising with this one, it's a quite recent discover of mine but looks like it's going straight to my top tier hip hop tracklist!

[@Seekah_]

Beat 100%, Verses 100%, Sample 100% "ONE TIME, so feel the rain from behind" what a line "I got my bags packed (Check) I got my boots strapped (Check) I got my buds and joys in my buddha sack (Check) Now when my man call, know I'm ready to roll Sounds of war" the way the hook is layed down is dope af, dont think theres a better way to go about it Many factors your right, but at its core i think its the simplicity that makes it dope
