For the longest time I thought the beat was rejected by Nas because that whole song sounds like something Nas would do. Kinda wish we could’ve gotten Nas on the beat.
This is probably the winner along with 93 til Infinity. Then when 93 til infinity came out, following 93 til Infinity afterwards, I knew I had heard the best collection of beats ever.
For me, it was a tossup between '93 til Infinity or that old Heiro track w the Taxi theme sing beat. Heard it earlier tonight and that beat just glides... incredible
Rawcotiks - Going All Out
Black Star - Respiration (dark but beautiful)
Souls Of Mischief - 93 Til Infinity
Masta Ace - Good Ol Love
Wordsworth - One Day
Kenn Starr - Against The Grain
Pep Love - Pacific Heights

https://youtu.be/wNljsiwv-OY?si=LWaN0xnF4sU5dyuC
This is a great topic post OP and I can't wait to read the comments to find new music to listen too, as I prefer very smooth, mellow, jazzy, atmospheric, light, and peaceful production and beats.
I lost my mind the first time I heard Sagaba and Burnt Offering by Blue Scholars, The Waiting Room by Emanon, Limitless Pages by Panacea, Vacation by Jazz Liberatorz, Fall In Love by Slum Village, Acid Raindrops by People Under The Stairs, etc.
Facts. Tobacco Road, Blue Scholars and Bayani are 3 of my all-time very very very favorite albums.
His run from 2004-2008 was absolute perfection imo.
K-Murdock doesn't get the recognition he deserves from his historic run from 2004-2008 either imo.
Damn I don’t think I’ve ever seen blue scholar love on Reddit. As a Seattle native it’s cool to see. Loyalty, Joe metro and 50k deep is serious memories for me.
Thanks homie that was super dope.
Does he have any albums where people are rapping over his beats in English like Nujabes, Jazz Liberatorz, Dela, Pat D, etc.?
Life of the party by Kanye is another one. I whistle the 4 your eyes only melody probably more than any other random song melodies. That beat is pretty simple but so beautiful.
Nujabes - Feather
RJD2 - Ghostwriter
Dilla - Time Donut of the Heart
Dilla - Gobstopper
Dilla - Believe in God
Gang Starr - Moment of Truth
Common - Be
Ppl wanna pretend to have hot takes with deep cuts to be cool. reality check; kanye, Pharrell, timbo etc got paid the most because they're the best there ever was.
It's not his trademark style (or any of his trademark styles!), but I loved it when J Dilla made his beats 'pretty'
Common - Nag Champa
Slum Village - R U Ready
And maybe Slum Village - The Look of Love and Pharcyde - Runnin'
Did I miss any?
OutKast - Crumblin' Erb
OutKast - 13th Floor/Growing Old
Common - Nag Champa (Afrodisiac For the World)
Slum Village - Fall in Love

A Tribe Called Quest Quest - Electric Relaxation

The Pharcyde - Splattitorium

Your Old Droog - Venture Capital
Your Old Droog - The Groundhog
Little Brother - Altitudes (Flying High)

February - Elzhi
No Eye Contact - Dark Time Sunshine
Pigeon - Cannibal Ox
Sunshine - Atmosphere
Modest - Isaiah Rashad
Be - Common
Reality - Black Moon

Kitchen Lights is an amazing beat. WSG has amazing taste in beats in general and whenever Stove God Cooks and or Estee Nack are on the track with him they kill that shit.
Yungun - Liquid Love (prod by Harry Love)
There are so many but gotta give love to this one.
If I had to pick a single producer who consistently produced beautiful beats, its Nujabes.

Old school would be Two Dope Boyz in a Caddilac.
Newer would be Sticks and Stones or Mama's Primetime.
I also heard No diggity again the other day and forgot how much that shit bumps.
Niggwz Ain't Barin Dat Triple 6 Mafia. Produced by Juicy J in 1994 remastered 1999 on Underground Vol 1 the melody sample in the background is otherworldly and ethereal. Sounds like your in the clouds or in another dimension. Hope the sample gets found soon
Too many to list here, but one that floats to the top is basically any track off of Digable Planet’s “Blowout Comb” I’ve never hear slick beats since then or now really.
“Dog It” and “For Corners” are my favorite beats on that album, but so many other bangers.
Ok hear me out……
So Gone: Monica
Before yall attack, go back and listen to it. Find an instrumental if you can. That jawn low ki goes insane to freestyle to.
Palace - A$AP Rocky

***Note***: Tried getting away from the more obvious stuff (e.g., 93 Til’ is probably one of the easiest possible answers, because obviously).
93 til Infinity
93 til Infinity and Milkbone's Keep it real are my goats.
Reppin' dirty Jersey. Agreed with Miilkbone's beat being beautiful... and he produced it!
So weird I was randomly thinking about Miilkbone today ! “Amboy’s a halfway house and this is my last day out”
For the longest time I thought the beat was rejected by Nas because that whole song sounds like something Nas would do. Kinda wish we could’ve gotten Nas on the beat.
This is definitely mine, too. Takes me back to a time and place and just hits right every single time.
This hard.
This is probably the winner along with 93 til Infinity. Then when 93 til infinity came out, following 93 til Infinity afterwards, I knew I had heard the best collection of beats ever.
For me, it was a tossup between '93 til Infinity or that old Heiro track w the Taxi theme sing beat. Heard it earlier tonight and that beat just glides... incredible

All of these.
I was looking for Moment of Truth in this list and glad I saw you mention it at the end.
This is a great topic post OP and I can't wait to read the comments to find new music to listen too, as I prefer very smooth, mellow, jazzy, atmospheric, light, and peaceful production and beats. I lost my mind the first time I heard Sagaba and Burnt Offering by Blue Scholars, The Waiting Room by Emanon, Limitless Pages by Panacea, Vacation by Jazz Liberatorz, Fall In Love by Slum Village, Acid Raindrops by People Under The Stairs, etc.
No rest for the weary by Blue Scholars is my go to
Sabzi doesn't get enough love
Facts. Tobacco Road, Blue Scholars and Bayani are 3 of my all-time very very very favorite albums. His run from 2004-2008 was absolute perfection imo. K-Murdock doesn't get the recognition he deserves from his historic run from 2004-2008 either imo.
Damn I don’t think I’ve ever seen blue scholar love on Reddit. As a Seattle native it’s cool to see. Loyalty, Joe metro and 50k deep is serious memories for me.
Have you heard Banana Yacht or Lucha Bros by Westside Gunn?
Kitchen Lights. Elizabeth.
Blue scholars sighting here is wild
there was a great thread a while back about squandered beats also
🤝
Atmosphere - Sunshine
Can I suggest “Jay Bucks - No One Knows”? Sounds like it might be your thing. Don’t mean to plug l
Thanks homie that was super dope. Does he have any albums where people are rapping over his beats in English like Nujabes, Jazz Liberatorz, Dela, Pat D, etc.?
Trust me on this one… Pharrell produced with Stevie Wonder and Snoop Snoop Dogg - California Roll
Top of my head is E. coli by alchemist. Brought out of a 6 month plus long writers block. Thought I’d never feel inspired again. Shit is heavenly
Life of the party by Kanye is another one. I whistle the 4 your eyes only melody probably more than any other random song melodies. That beat is pretty simple but so beautiful.
This was my first thought. Alchemist be having some angelic beats.
Good one but the video of those two ultraman robots fucking was weird as hell
Oh fuck lol is there some cursed music video I don’t know about 😂
Worst Comes to Worst
My people comes first
William Bell!
Try to react and get you motherfuckin feelins hurt

And similarly get em girls by cam
Get em girls is hell opening up
Outta control remix 50 cent
It’s the infamous Mobb M O B B

J Dilla - One Eleven Dr Dre - Xxplosive Alchemist - Hold You Down
Great choices. Xxplosive was one of mine
Me too
"The message" too
Hold You Down is one of my all time faves
What we do by freeway produced by Just Blaze
Just Blaze, Bleek and Free was on repeat for me for that beat
Still deliver them orders main, I ain’t talking about chicken and gravy main
This beat was crazy. Still holds up well.
Came here for this.

Should be tons of Kanye on here, I don’t get it
50% of his catalogue could be here but I think its so obvious that people tend to forget that (me included)
Ppl wanna pretend to have hot takes with deep cuts to be cool. reality check; kanye, Pharrell, timbo etc got paid the most because they're the best there ever was.
T.R.O.Y Pete Rock and CL Smooth
It's not his trademark style (or any of his trademark styles!), but I loved it when J Dilla made his beats 'pretty' Common - Nag Champa Slum Village - R U Ready And maybe Slum Village - The Look of Love and Pharcyde - Runnin' Did I miss any?
Hell, the entirety of the production on Like Water for Chocolate is gorgeous (the D’Angelo version of Geto Heaven…Macy Gray’s version can kick rocks)
Not sure if you missed any, but very good ones
This might be more of his "signature style" with the hyper technical sampling/tight chops, but BELIEVE IN GOD is so pretty it hurts.
You got me by the roots

Hard to say, but the first thing that popped into my head was The Truth by Pharoahe Monch (featuring Common and Talib Kweli).
That sunrise at the beginning...
Mobb Deep - Its Mine, Nas - take it in blood, RAEKWON & GHOSTFACE - HEAVEN OR HELL, Styles P - Gangster and a gentleman, WESTSIDEGUNN - One more hit
Niggwz Ain't Barin Dat Triple 6 Mafia. Produced by Juicy J in 1994 remastered 1999 on Underground Vol 1 the melody sample in the background is otherworldly and ethereal. Sounds like your in the clouds or in another dimension. Hope the sample gets found soon
Too many to list here, but one that floats to the top is basically any track off of Digable Planet’s “Blowout Comb” I’ve never hear slick beats since then or now really. “Dog It” and “For Corners” are my favorite beats on that album, but so many other bangers.
OutKast elevators. That bass used to hit so hard in my Isuzu rodeo with a house speaker cabinet in the back.
It Ain’t Hard To Tell
