And with it Nicki's Black Barbies
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cWFpjZkBbnU

The last time I was this fascinated with a beat I think was 2013's Yonce
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jcF5HtGvX5I
(Instrumental https://youtu.be/GCdhZLAOsLw)

It's kind of dark and energetic

Post a link and the name of the song if you have a contender. Don't just post a name or just a link. I'm not Googling it and I'm not clicking links hoping it isn't something I already know.

I like the Black Barbies version way better, but yeah it's a dope beat.

Best beat, not sure. But it's up there.

THERE IT IS.

Gattsu25 · Jan 14, 2017

Just checked and google music is saying I listened to this song 67 times.

Not sure if it's the best beat of 2016 but I'd say I like it. Song wouldn't work as well as it does without the vocals, though.

Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew · Jan 14, 2017

NO. STOP it with this song. I fucking HATE IT. Shit beat, shit vocals, just utter shit. Not even fucking catchy.

BadAss2961 · Jan 14, 2017

No. Pretty much sick of hearing that song. Way overplayed.

No Heart first comes to mind. Simple, but the shit is hard.

These are good but I don't think they're as good and that may have something to do with y'all being lazy and forcing me to look it up to judge it

Post the names of the songs. This is the second best in the thread.

You don't like the Black Barbies version either?

collige · Jan 14, 2017

Are we talking hip-hop only?

blame space · Jan 14, 2017

i like the song but let's not get crazy here

Korey · Jan 14, 2017

I hate this song too. The only reason it's charting at all is because there's a drought of good singles right now.

Razorskin · Jan 14, 2017

Sorry, it can't compete with this banger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHCob76kigA

blame space · Jan 14, 2017

that song feels like it lasts 7 years when it plays on the radio

If you weren't already familiar with them, you're in no position to be calling any beat "the best beat of 2016"

xAngelicNinjax · Jan 14, 2017

If we're not talking hip hop only, then for me it's gotta be Closer.

THAT girl is a real crowd pleaser

Glazed · Jan 14, 2017

K.Jack · Jan 14, 2017

Catchy song? Yes.

Best hip-hop beat of the year? Stop it.

robotzombie · Jan 14, 2017

Hip Hop related threads on Gaf are always a trip.

Captainbojanglesiii · Jan 14, 2017

Father Stretch my Hands Pt. 1 or Part 2 for best beat. I also like That Part and Really Doe as options

Jakten · Jan 14, 2017

Doesn't even sound like The Beatles

Cagey · Jan 14, 2017

Offaiah - Trouble. Clearly.

Yeah man, I'm over 30 so this is the only beat that speaks to my soul, lol.

I do like Kendrick Lamar - Untitled Unmastered - 08 - 09.06.2014., but that's not on youtube.

edit: So DJ Scratch did the Tribe album because Ali Shaheed was working on this:

torre_avenue · Jan 14, 2017

"Solid Wall of Sound" was better.
"Ain't it Funny" was better.
"Feedback" was better.
"Waves" was better.
"Landcruisin'" was better.
"Pick Up the Phone" was better.
"Man" was better.

kris. · Jan 14, 2017

el-p didn't produce it so no

Dabanton · Jan 14, 2017

Lil Yachty - Minnesota

tbh waves is the best beat on that album

but i recognize that that may be an unpopular opinion

Staccat0 · Jan 14, 2017

I like it. That must mean something.

Uno Venova · Jan 14, 2017

Yes it is.

It also has the best hook of the year.

chixdiggit · Jan 14, 2017

JayDub · Jan 14, 2017

Sounds like that Panda song.

Oops; I thought this was about the Migos Bad song. That sounds like the Panda song.

Uno Venova · Jan 14, 2017

Only song mentioned in this thread that comes close so far is Pick up the Phone.
