No, they do exist with 808's but usually Boom-Bap is made with more harder hitting drumsounds.
Boom-Bap drumpatterns are usually very simple compared to Trap.

Made a banger with the GOAT David Ruffin on the hook.

I think i got my own little sample-style by keeping samples at they original low BPM.

keeping samples at their original pitch/tempo will bite you in the ass when you get good enough to sell them.
Regardless, this beat is wild yo. I could see this being a real ghetto love song type that Ghostface or Roc Marciano would spit on lol... really tight.

beat is okay composition wise but it's missing something. maybe even just a quick chord change in the backchords right before another repetition... that hook reminds me of something I might hear on a Clipse album...
The sounds you chose for the instrumentation are pretty corny. These are a very important part of any song, arguably the most or 2nd most important, so make sure you have good synths and samples to compose with.
Your recording is pretty bad... and by that I mean the actual recorded take you chose to put on the song. I can't hear your verse at all, it sounds like you're trying not to wake up your mom. The chorus sounds somewhat interesting like I said with Clipse but idk it seems really weird and could probably get grating. It almost sounds off-key but I can't tell, and I feel like you intentionally gave it that abstract sound that it has, so I get that but it may need some tweaking.
I'm just trying to be 100% with you here breh, I'm not really feeling this at all. But you said it's your first beat so there's a lot of improvement you could still make. I tried to be as specific as possible just so you know some stuff to work on next time, sorry if it comes across as harsh. To be honest if you record with a good take it might already fix a couple of the other problems I mentioned. Just keep working at it

Thanks! A lot of beats are made with their original pitch though but than the sample is usually at a higher Tempo.

Wow, this is really funky and happy sounding man. I like the percussion. Kendrick would kill this.

so you're saying you keep the pitch but speed up the tempo? I do that sometimes, but doesn't it cause distortion? I know making it play faster than it's supposed to is less noticeable distortion than making it play slower

Sometimes i do but usually i use regular Pitching up where both the tone and tempo become higher.
Time-stretching does cost soundquality though.
