Top 5 for me personally

Haven’t listened to that knx remix in a minute thank u

Idk… he tuff tho

Factual

I remember so vividly every damn beat maker I knew giving that clams sound a try, a few gems, lotta flops

why did u leave out one of the 3 years i just said
also this isnt accurate why isnt Birth of rap there its literally on 6 kiss

I left out 2011 because I said that there could be an argument for Casino being one of the best producers of that year.

i said 2009-2011
as in that three year timespan as a whole

also wtf havoc got a clams beat?

And only you think that, which is cool but delusional.

The rap world in 2009 & 2010 was bumping 40, Kanye, Lex Luger, Justice League, Cudi / Haynie, Madlib, and a whole lotta trap s*** while you were listening to Clams instrumentals

what was being bumped is pretty irrelevant to whether the beat was better
id argue none of these guys top beats could match clams in that era, they werent as innovative, and they didnt age as well the innovative thing only wouldnt count for lex. especially not kanye

did you make this thread bc of prezzy

more inclined to agree now that I've heard it 🔥🔥

greatest beat ever

id say top 10 for me if we are talking all genres he's in my top 5 for rap tho

didn't invent the cloud rap wave but perfected it and went beyond that
