There was a thread like this already, but my favorite beats are from Kanye West, Just Blaze, and Premier. Dre is an honorable mention.
There is a thread asking who is your favorite producer and its about 8 pages back. I'm talking song for song here. Edit: My fault I didn't see it.
2Pac - Skandalous!!! I swear there is all types of cool stuff going on in that beat especially if you listen to it on good headphones not to mention the bassline is honey... beat by Daz Dillinger anything by Timbaland is beautiful, I think he's the most talented producer working right now. his pop stuff is great, his hip-hop stuff is great Jay-Z: Give It To Me (i'm a hustla) (neptunes) sicccckkkkest beat ever? Still D.R.E. My favorite Dr. Dre beat ever, so simple, yet somehow it seems like it's "off" or something N.O.R.E. - Superthug

Stillmatic (The Intro) has some hot instrumentals by Hangmen 3 I think; I'll have to do more research on it though.
kind of OT but me and my friends did a version of still dre, i was playing bass, and we had i guy on drums, a guy on electric drums, guy on keyboards, guy on lead guitar, and a guy on mic, this was at school for a band competition like battle of the bands or whatever you call it, but playing bass to this is so simple but i put a few little bits into it to make it a bit different.
since practically everyone mentioned still DRE, and i have listened to it so many times and i'm still not sick of it, I think the consensus is that Still D.R.E. is the best hiphop beat of all time. HOWEVER, Dre is a BIT overrated.... A lot of his beats are the same old same old.... Timbaland is the most talented producer of this era HANDS DOWN. While he has his own style, he is way more versatile than Dre, more danceable, more crossover, etc..... Timbaland is the genius producer of our times.

A lot of his beats are too popish to me. Just Blaze is also better than Timberland to me.

Just Blaze might be a BETTER guy to go to if you're looking for a particular type of beat, but Timbaland has the most genius to me...I mean the guys' influence not over just hiphop but music in general cannot be denied....
Been bumpin AZ - Format (Premier) and GZA - 4th Chamber (RZA) a lot lately. Sick beats on both songs.
