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
― altered scones (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 8 July 2010 03:47 (fourteen years ago)
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 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.
