No beat screams "early 2000s" like this one

[MidwestD]

To the OP, the song that popped in my head immediately was “cant deny it” by fabolous…but your post is definitely an even stronger pick

Facts, the entire "Ghetto Fabolous" album screams 2001. I still fukk with it though.

[NZA]

in da club is the king of this generic hip hop sound

superwoman is a classic

 

[JustCKing]

Only Alc, Ye and Just used them well

I don't remember Alc using them much, but this thread is proof that those hand claps ruined Just Blaze beats. Most of the beats mentioned in here are Just Blaze's, which is surprising because he's actually celebrated on here. Some of those hand claps also ruined some Kanye beats.

Nowhere near as worse as 2005-10 ringtone single era...that's the WOAT era

That era was way better, that music was a lot more melodic, you could dance to it

 

[Dynamite James]

there is an R&B version of this with overdone strings in the late 90's/early 00's

Well at least these songs are all Distinguished from one another as opposed to today's beats. It now all sounds like one long song.....and yess I'm

Beans is my mans, but this shyt is AASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS sandwiches.

Roc The Mic was 100 times better

This song was everywhere even in movies like Daredevil.

Never knew the name of the song. Always thought he was saying I’m An Outlaw or something

Outside of Neptunes and Roc, Early 00s East COast production was so bad. shyt was both hollow and overproduced at the same time.

Nahh Eastcoast had some shyt

Pause on the first line wtf

Correct answer

I was thinking Roc Da Mic / Freeway and Beans

Whoa a Big Herk post

Big Herk still is the greatest Detroit storyteller thus far. He ran the Early 2000’s. But once blade died it’s like he stopped rapping too

 

[Mr. Negative]

shyt sounds like those generic background music instrumentals you'd hear in TV shows back then

cause it is.

I swear I've heard it (and ghost's The Champ) on a WWE Stacker 2 minicommercial

 

[EastsideRio]

Whoa a Big Herk post

I just now realized he on the album cover about to rob hisself

 

[Mr. Negative]

This beat screams baggy jeans, wife beater and brown Lexus

same color as areolas


edit: thread idea: "in a ____, same color as _______"

 

[Reptile]

Nah this is it right here. This takes the cake
