ubiquitous freestyle beat by year

Message Bookmarked

got a notion that for a while (decade?) one big track is released w/ instro or at least is easily cuttable per year, that one beat that everyone jumps on. just when i thought this died out last year with the "street album" orig music from zaytoven to burn one, jay elec's late 2009 just blaze track def filled this maybe one last time.

feel like it's always an event record of some kind and specific to the rap community in a partic way, like a big hit or an event record sure but not a pure crossover. thinkin like

2003: 50 Cent - "In Da Club"

2006: Rich Boy - "Throw Some D's"

2007: Jay-Z - "Lost Ones"

2008: Lil Wayne - "A Milli"

2009/10(?): Jay Electronica - "Exhibit A"

so is this a thing? can u fill the gaps/go earlier/know better? (feel like much earlier and it becomes more an underground phenom than i'm thinking of, less event records?)

i think rick ross "hustlin" was a big beat back when? not sure tho

tried by 12 is a classic freestyle beat but def more of an underground not-an-event thing, right? that's def one of the 90s ones i was thinking of.

i guess street albums without jacked beats is real marginal, just the decline of the b-side...if u don't release yr instro to itunes/nahright then what r djs gonna spin

that's true, these are hot summer jams nearing ubiquity, dunno why i'm waxing elegiac

the beamer benz or bentley beat is totally 2007

2007: Jay-Z - "Lost Ones"

i don't think i've heard a single freestyle over this beat wtf. 50 Cent's "I Get Money" is really clearly the big beat of 07.
