Ima say Dr. Dre Exxplosive...since Ye sample his beat...actual Ye made h to da izzo...an this cant be life with the same Dr Dre sample...so Exxplosive is the key lol
@@alim432hz Its in the title. Scarface - Guess Who's Back (Ft. Jay Z & Beanie Sigel) Edit: Oh yeah meant the song samled... It's "Sunrise" by The Originals
@@viktorvondoom9119 thanks g I been hearing this beat since high school & never knew where it’s from..I’m 28 now haa Kanye been on some shit for a minute.
Am from Kenya and I used to hear this song on Snoop Dogg radio which was connected to our local radio station 98.4 capital fm Nairobi which was usually broadcasted on Saturdays from 6 pm till 10 pm.its still my favorite
This was really THE beat that changed everything for Kanye... I remember getting this in my record pool and how we all reacted after hearing this for the first time. He was still kind of a new producer then, but when this shit dropped Kanye had "officially arrived" in the hearts and minds of hip-hop heads at the time... oh and by the way, Scarface's "The Fix" is a top 25 hip-hop album of all time. You can literally listen to it start to finish without skipping songs...
I will never forget the first time i heard this track was on a DJ Kay Slay mixtape around this time late may 2002....RIP DJ Kay Slay....hip hop will never give me the feeling i had when i heard this track drop
@@DaveG425 that's considered making the beat. The way he flips the sample , turns the pitch up , adds shaker to the drums occasionally , all of that is considered production.
When Ye said he was Walt Disney I laughed my ass off. I came back to this gem and felt like I was in a fantasy world with all the colors and magic you would see in a Disney classic. Maybe Ye is Walt Disney
I cant find any instrumental of this song with the whistling around 2:40! This is one of my all time favorite beats, the whistling makes this better.Anyone know if there is an instrumental with it?
Guess who's back, it's the Roc in the building Empire State of Mind, we keep rising to the ceiling From Brooklyn to the Bronx, all the way to Queens Jay Z on the mic, spitting rhymes that gleam (Chorus) Empire State of Mind, where the hustle never stops We grindin' for the dream, never letting it drop New York City, where the legends are made I'm back, reclaiming my throne, never afraid (Verse 2) I'm the blueprint, the one that paved the way Got the keys to the city, ain't no one in my way From Marcy Projects to Madison Square I'm the king of this game, no one else can compare (Chorus) Empire State of Mind, where the hustle never stops We grindin' for the dream, never letting it drop New York City, where the legends are made I'm back, reclaiming my throne, never afraid (Bridge) I'm the GOAT, the one they all worship From Reasonable Doubt to 4:44, I never slip I'm the blueprint, the one you all follow In the rap game, I'm still standing tall though (Chorus) Empire State of Mind, where the hustle never stops We grindin' for the dream, never letting it drop New York City, where the legends are made I'm back, reclaiming my throne, never afraid (Outro) Guess who's back, it's the one and only Jay Z on the mic, still repping for my homies Empire State of Mind, where the legends reside I'm back in the game, can't be denied
Guess who's bizzack Is it the modern day Martin or Malcolm X is the variable that gives a much different outcome When the goal was to march for peace, we had a dream But when the goal is to squeeze and release, by any means Guess who's bizzack With rhymes so vivid you can see'em, when you listen Closed captioning, provided for those hard of hearing Like stubborn teenagers that root for the villain Then applaud, the only time I play with people cheerin (children) I was never loitering, but was always outstanding Yet they never help me get on my feet, they couldn't stand me The Academy never gave me an award, they probably banned me Since I never appeased grannies, just to get the Grammy This industry don't understand me, but since I came up, there ain't nothing that they can hand me Unless it's an assist, but in this matrix there's a glitch We all hustle for a meal (mil) but at the end who's rich The true fix is when these fiends triple beans, and start stacking racks Instead of crack, they find their dreams when they hit the sack So lets recap, the competition needs to wise up Cuz bound and gagged is the only way they tied up....
This might be secretly one of the greatest beats of all time IMO.
It's no secret
😂😂😂 Hell yeah! Kanye was on dope shit back then. Miss these kind of beats.
Ima say Dr. Dre Exxplosive...since Ye sample his beat...actual Ye made h to da izzo...an this cant be life with the same Dr Dre sample...so Exxplosive is the key lol
fax
yessssss!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is top 2 for Kanye productions... been following kanue beats since 1999!!!
This sample is so beautiful. Feels like I was transported to 2002.
Whats the original?

@@viktorvondoom9119 thanks g I been hearing this beat since high school & never knew where it’s from..I’m 28 now haa Kanye been on some shit for a minute.
Kanye made this beat at the age of 24 by far one of the best productions I ever heard.
Facts bro he's a beast 💪
Learned this today tonight rather
Some producers make their magnus opus in their early/late twenties to even 18 to 19 which is just crazy to even think about 🤯
its funny kanye dont like gold diggers but he certainly can dig in the crates and find gold
Kanye been doing samples for a minute,where's the original sample ?? If this ain't a sample that's fuckin crazy.
Am from Kenya and I used to hear this song on Snoop Dogg radio which was connected to our local radio station 98.4 capital fm Nairobi which was usually broadcasted on Saturdays from 6 pm till 10 pm.its still my favorite
It's probably one of the best instrumental cemented in the hip hop culture. Loved the early 2000's era.
I can listen to this instrumental all day long.... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Allllllllll day
No cap
This is soooo 2002 New York. Love it
Phony Mex Jay was in the song too though.
U dumb
Phony Mex Alchemist is from Cali and his beats have that east coast feel
Hell yeah!!!!!!! It seriously takes me back, best summer.
@Phony Mex He's only talkin' about the beat style..
After the beat drops I still get goosebumps ... KANYE THE BEST YO
Dominique Harper juss did.....
The Ill-est and best beat Kanye has every made!!!
Yes definitely :)
Lamont Bradley Lucifer instrumental tho
Yep agree, this and flashing lights are some of Kanye's better productions.
this cant be life is kanye's best imo but this beat is top 5 no doubt
bedshaker92 spaceship, drive slow, stand up, dreams
Kanye, you a damn genuis for this one
*Genius*
One of the best beats ever made.
I get goosebumps just from listening to the beat.
Same
More like NOSTALGIA!

So true. This album is so fire yet so underrated.
this track is the first time that i recall kanye west got name dropped on a song
They were still callin' him "Kane" West when this dropped.... After it hit, everybody knew his name was Kanye... Timeless...
he was not a new producer maybe mainstream but Ye been producing for Jay-Z for a LONG time
The Originals - Sunrise, is the main sample on this beat. Just in case anyone was interested.
Nice
He samepled the first 15 seconds and looped it with drums/bass. Don’t let anyone ever tell you genius can’t be simple.
@@mra.g2632 That man has a God Level ear for music.
Thank you.
This takes me back to 2002 and makes me realize how much I took such a beautiful era for granted 😔 #WhatATimeToBeAlive #YouHadToBeThere
You said it all 💯💪🏾🙏🏾
such an interesting beat
That's a nice pair of eyes you got there................I could stare at those all day :)
Jawuan Hart Thank you, monsieur.
YOU!!!!!!
are welcome! :)
don't know if I did that right. But its the thought that counts. SO IM GOOD :)
I thought so too, made by Yeezus himself.. We got similar tastes, perhaps you could be a familiar face ;)
I agree. I love it, it doesn't sound like any other type of beat I've heard. One of Kanye's greatest beats hands down!
This is Literally the Beat That Made Me Start Making Beats! Thank You Kanye!
One of the dopest & old school type of beat type & vibe hands down. Well done Kanye.
Kanye is one the best producers to ever do it.
ye and dre nothing else
Such facts have never been spoken.
DILLA PETE ROCK
@@carconnoisseur4615 can't let you disrespect Timbaland like that...its a reason Jay-Z says Timbo the king
@@carconnoisseur4615 Neptunes and Timbaland are up there as well.
17 years later and it’s still Classic
21 Years Later
Greatest hip hop producer of all time 💯
The layering is perfect.
I will never forget the first time i heard this track was on a DJ Kay Slay mixtape around this time late may 2002....RIP DJ Kay Slay....hip hop will never give me the feeling i had when i heard this track drop
One of the greatest beats of all time
The greatest Beat
Scarface had the hardest and realest verse on this 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Easily one of the greatest beats of all time
2015 and still bumpin this man do i miss the ol days.
scareface is still timeless mc of all time!!!
2015 is my old days you gotta be old as hell lol
And some people think Kanye "has no musical talent" lmfao
Kanye = Yeeszus
Kanye didnt really make the beat tho. He took a sample and put drums behind it. Lol
@@DaveG425 that's considered making the beat. The way he flips the sample , turns the pitch up , adds shaker to the drums occasionally , all of that is considered production.
Shut up. Dude callin him a genius but he didnt make the melody and instrumental arrangement. I know what producing is
@@DaveG425 I never called him a genius?
I was going down memory lane listening to this album and remembered how fire this beat was. Easily one of the best beats of all time. 🔥🔥
When Ye said he was Walt Disney I laughed my ass off. I came back to this gem and felt like I was in a fantasy world with all the colors and magic you would see in a Disney classic. Maybe Ye is Walt Disney
He is
What you talking about? Lol
@@retrovcr777 ask Jesus
Same vibe I get from this beat
2023 still rockin this beat on my channel word up
i love this beat! especially the bassline
@1:18... tears start flowing .I'm addicted to sound, and that sounds that are made with this beat go str8 to my heart❤❤❤😭😭😭😭
Still Fire 2018 🔥🙏🏽
I cant find any instrumental of this song with the whistling around 2:40! This is one of my all time favorite beats, the whistling makes this better.Anyone know if there is an instrumental with it?
I usually don't like listening to instrumentals but this one got my attention quick.
here cuz of denzel 🤙🏽
iForgot160 same man. When i seen it was either a Scarface or wu tang beat, I was like where tf I been
Still gives me goosebumps.. For this sound of energy to go through kanye west.. Is captivating.
Just a groovy soul jam, with fresh organ riffs, and that bass line is super catchy
I love this instrumental.
2015 still rockin with this. So nostalgic
"I hug the block like quarter waters" all three went off on this perfect beat
Talk to me, man... Those drums from Xxplosive tho 👌
Luis Hern same pattern different samples
This beat as smooth as butter
ye snapped on this one
Kanye is really A leader in this rap game. Unprecedented, documented sounds
that bassline though!!
this beat is sick asf 😝💯
Do you remember when long ago Kanye long ago would do the hooks to his beats and not even be credited for the feature.
He’s come a long way.
@@VickStarkiller On the 12" he's credited with additional vocals.
This beat alone might just be better than track altogether
I think so.
Yup
100
My childhood personified ❤
Good instrumental. Thanks for posting it.
F. J. H
this beat is absolutely wonderful. they say there's a fine line between pure genius, and insanity; Kanye walks it like a tight rope.
Even more truer today
He fell off the rope
@@TreyDoe Bro can be a gigantic dickhead while also making some of the best production in Hip-Hop. Two things can be true.
I'm very proud of Ye
They don't make great beats like these anymore
What a fire beat❤❤❤❤
Kanye motherfuckin West man.. What a beat. Fuckin insane
Exactly
Factually my favorite beat of all time.
4-1-23
Don't care what they say about Kanye West.
That Mane Cold as 🧊. 💯💯💯💯✔️💪🏿
One of all my favorite beats by Kanye and in rap period!! Still bumping in 2023 🔥🔥🔥
Who else in 2021, TH-cam’d this beat, smoked and is not vaxxed loving this ??🔥🔥🔥
This should’ve been the ice cream truck song by now. 🔥
easily one of my all time favourite instro's. hands down. I miss this Kanye.
wow thanks was looking for this 1:D
This beat got so much life.
One of the greatest
I love this beat ✔️
Junior prom 2002 was lit af 🔥 🤪 👌 🙌 ✨️ 🤣 🔥

Always been between this and “We Gon Make it” produced by Alchemist. As the 2 greatest beats in hip hop history! IMO
Late night study sessions with this playing in the back! >>>
Here because of Denzel Curry ✊
Thank you Tariq.
I remember this beat off rapcity. I dig this beat.
This song tells the struggles and fun stories of my childhood 💯🔥🔥🔥 I love this song!

Just saw a interview someone asked timbaland what was the 1st beat he fell n love wit ...made me think n for me this it
Nice old skool banger 🔥
Key bars man...monumental instrumental, gangsta mental all up in a de area1
Great beat!
I would have loved to been in the studio when Face, Jay and Beans heard this beat before they laid the lyrics down
Throwback Thursday.
2019 anyone?
the beat itself & Baseline is dope
Eli Cordero *BASSLINE
my favorite kanye west beat of all time
Kanye i ll respect u for the rest of my life as a producer for doin this. Even if u sign bieber
"Scarface, you're favorite rapper's favorite rapper."
Kanye is a genius fr
TALK TO MEE MANNNNNN
J Dilla inspired.................
Kenneth The Golden Child *BASSLINE
Bassline sounds dilla inspired, drums Dr Dre, and melody Pete Rock or Large Professor or No ID?
Easily one of Kanye West's best beats...
Kim ate this when she sampled it!
best beat of all time
Amazing Kanye Is The Truth
Guess who's back, it's the Roc in the building
Empire State of Mind, we keep rising to the ceiling
From Brooklyn to the Bronx, all the way to Queens
Jay Z on the mic, spitting rhymes that gleam
(Chorus)
Empire State of Mind, where the hustle never stops
We grindin' for the dream, never letting it drop
New York City, where the legends are made
I'm back, reclaiming my throne, never afraid
(Verse 2)
I'm the blueprint, the one that paved the way
Got the keys to the city, ain't no one in my way
From Marcy Projects to Madison Square
I'm the king of this game, no one else can compare
(Chorus)
Empire State of Mind, where the hustle never stops
We grindin' for the dream, never letting it drop
New York City, where the legends are made
I'm back, reclaiming my throne, never afraid
(Bridge)
I'm the GOAT, the one they all worship
From Reasonable Doubt to 4:44, I never slip
I'm the blueprint, the one you all follow
In the rap game, I'm still standing tall though
(Chorus)
Empire State of Mind, where the hustle never stops
We grindin' for the dream, never letting it drop
New York City, where the legends are made
I'm back, reclaiming my throne, never afraid
(Outro)
Guess who's back, it's the one and only
Jay Z on the mic, still repping for my homies
Empire State of Mind, where the legends reside
I'm back in the game, can't be denied
Denzel Curry killed it on his freestyle!
This beat is the perfect semblance of happy and hard wtf!
Guess who's bizzack
Is it the modern day Martin or Malcolm
X is the variable that gives a much different outcome
When the goal was to march for peace, we had a dream
But when the goal is to squeeze and release, by any means
Guess who's bizzack
With rhymes so vivid you can see'em, when you listen
Closed captioning, provided for those hard of hearing
Like stubborn teenagers that root for the villain
Then applaud, the only time I play with people cheerin (children)
I was never loitering, but was always outstanding
Yet they never help me get on my feet, they couldn't stand me
The Academy never gave me an award, they probably banned me
Since I never appeased grannies, just to get the Grammy
This industry don't understand me, but since I came up, there ain't nothing that they can hand me
Unless it's an assist, but in this matrix there's a glitch
We all hustle for a meal (mil) but at the end who's rich
The true fix is when these fiends triple beans, and start stacking racks
Instead of crack, they find their dreams when they hit the sack
So lets recap, the competition needs to wise up
Cuz bound and gagged is the only way they tied up....
2020 still here
This instrumental give me old 90’s vibe when real Angle and God’s existed
