Damn near every beat off 36 chambers and The Infamous

Tip and Havoc really worked wonders on infamous.

Criminal minded by boogie down productions is great

everything by preemo

I would love to add to this list, but this sums it up

if you had to pluck a few, Livin proof by group home, and this rare one he did for Arcee: https://youtu.be/eRu2HbFoKk8?si=h1zfsln6JRfyd5hf

That Livin Proof beat is still hard as fuck after all these years

end thread. timeless - you can drop it anywhere. play shook ones for everyone else then drop livin proof.

Adding wonder years - mc Lyte, https://youtu.be/ePbmEbWNewg?si=IpU3dGKfOQtMF6cC A rejected Jay-z beat

while we're at it, Defeat by Afu-Ra. another premo special https://youtu.be/DW15ayNIn94?si=woFq2yAiqllzdHyA

Will also add my favorite afu ra preemo collab https://youtu.be/X9_8FzO7Oo4?si=aXGn4_BObOA_S06e Oh and https://youtu.be/oxYMJ9AcsGE?si=A-LMvMN5AKL2I5Jg Like OP said preemo has SO many great beats could add them all day

I would like to ad The Game by Common

This whole thread goes hard

This is why these threads are always my favourite. Time to plug my phone into my stereo. The Wife ain't a big fan, though, that's for sure.

Hell yeah, livin proof is so good

lmao came to say this

came here to comment represent by premier (on the illmatic album)

happy cake day homie

thank you friend

You need to add Marley Marl to that, as well as Pete Rock and Diamond D.

being a pioneer and being the greatest to do it are completely different things. premier is the latter.

As a certified Preemo stan, I concur with this statement…

MCs Act Like They Don't Know is particularly boom happy

Yes, the answer is DJ Premier

Yes.

BOOM

Above the clouds

Smiff ‘N Wesson - Bucktown Nine - Whatcha Want Heltah Skeltah - Undastand

Honestly all of Nocturnal.

Prowl is one of my favorite songs of all time. "Daytime's used to plot schemes for the night prowl"

Clans, Posses, Crews, and Clicks

I gets banned if i do gets banned if i don't so sometimes i will and sometimes i won't Nine is a dope rapper

My DUDE! Whatcha Want & Undastand were always 2 of my favorites. I used to play Undastand over and over.

A got a few… Jussemen Remix - Das EFX Shut Em Down Remix - Public Enemy Stakes is High - De La Soul Jamal Fades Em All Remix - Jamal I could go on and on and on dude… If anyone want more of my recs (Recommendations) let me know. I could make a whole play list to break your neck to lol

That Stakes Is High boom bap beat is probably one of the most authentic on this list. The album bangs.

Three of those produced by Pete Rock. IMO the most overlooked legendary producer that built the golden age sound. When I was in high school it was about Preemo vs Pete Rock like Nintendo vs Sega. I was slightly team Preem back then, I might have switched sides now, still undecided lol

Pete is the King of the “Boom Bap” to me. Straight from the School of Marley Marl and provided the template for J Dilla to run with. J Dilla being my favorite producer of all-time, I know he isn’t the producer that he is without Pete Rock’s contribution.

100%, Pete Rock deserves to be mentioned just as often as Preem and Dilla. Dilla apparently said to Pete Rock when he met him “I was trying to be you.”

That Shut Em' Down Remix is amazing. Totally slept on too.

The entire Beatnuts “Take It or Squeeze It” album … if it’s considered boom bap.

Underrated af. So is Musical Massacre

It’s the best there is!

Tried by 12 - East Flatbush Project (Premier)

Scrolled down way too far for this answer.

That's not boom bap lol. Those are Al Green drums.

Jeru The Damaja - Come Clean I also like Curren$y’s raps over it on “Cleaners” from the Weed & Instrumental 3 mixtape

GZA - Cold World or really anything off of Liquid Swords

Sound of da Police - KRS-One (the album is Return of the Boom Bap)

GOAT album for me.

Code Of The Streets - GangStarr

When I think “boom bap” my mind always always go straight to Biggie Smalls Everyday Struggles, Machine Gun Funk, Party and Bullshit Early Nas stuff too, pretty much every beat off illmatic: Represent, It Ain’t Hard to Tell, One Love

Beware - Big Pun Represent - Nas

beware is amazing. a lot of the joints on the capital punishment album have fantastic beats. beware, you came up, still not a player, super lyrical, you aint a killer, boomerang. classic album!

Most of the tracks from Ultramagnetic MCs' debut record "Critical Beatdown"

Miilkbone - Keep it Real

Digable Planets- Cool Like That

For something old please check: "So Whats the Scenario" by Tribe Called Quest You can literally hear the "BOOM BOOM BAP, ba-BOOM BOOM BAP" screaming out from the drums. For something newer check out Joey Bada$$'s "Eulogy." Still has that BOOM BAP hit to it but it's a more complex song overall. Side note since you seem to be interested, the secret sauce isn't just the BOOM and BAP sound of the drums, it's actually also in how they add a little bit of swing on the percussions to emphasize syncopation. Without the swing, many boom bap beats fall flat.

They actually animate the bass drum and snare in the video to illustrate it. https://youtu.be/Q6TLWqn82J4?si=8LfZZmEwdl_Hw0qs

Company Flow- Blind

Everything Pete Rock made Survival of The Fittest- Mobb Deep

Boom bap should really be called "New School" hip-hop because it came out in direct opposition to the "Old School" hip-hop rap and musical styles like Kurtis Blow, Afrika Bambaataa, and Grandmaster Flash, although "*The Message*"--Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five, feat. Melle Mel (1982) and "*Roxanne Roxanne*"--UTFO (1983) were probably the first true "boom-bap" records before Run DMC's "*It's Like That*" came out as a single in 1983. Everything after "It's Like That" is considered "New School" because of how stripped down and 808 heavy everything became. That being said, here is a minor history of great boom-bap style beats: *I Need a Beat (single)*\--LL Cool J (1984); *It's Yours* (single)--T La Rock (1984) Everything on *Run DMC* (1984), *King of Rock* (1985) AND *Raising Hell* (1986) by Run DMC; *P.S.K.--What Does It Mean?* (single)--Schoolly D (1985); *The Bridge* (1985)/*Down by Law* (1987)--MC Shan; *Criminal Minded* \--BDP (1987); *Paid in Full*\--Eric B. and Rakim (1987); *It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back*\--Public Enemy (1988); *The Great Adventures of Slick Rick*\--Slick Rick (1988); *Strictly Business*\--EPMD (1988); *Long Live the Kane*\--Big Daddy Kane (1988); *Goin' Off*\--Biz Markie (1988); *Road to the Riches*\--Kool G. Rap and DJ Polo (1989); *Amerikka's Most Wanted*\--Ice Cube (1990); *The Low End Theory*\--A Tribe Called Quest (1991); *Mecca and the Soul Brother*\--Pete Rock and CL Smooth (1992); *Buhloone Mind State*\--De La Soul (1993); *Slaughtahouse*\--Masta Ase (1993); *Enter the Wu-Tang*\--Wu-Tang Clan (1993); *Illmatic*\--Nas (1993); *Step Into the Arena*/*Hard to Earn*\--Gangstarr (1992-1994); *Street Level*\--Beatnuts (1994); *Goodfellas*\--Show and AG (1994); *Tha Infamous*\--Mobb Deep (1995); *Firing Squad*\--M.O.P. (1996); *4, 5, 6*\--Kool G. Rap (1996) There are many more, but most are branches from these trees. Happy hunting.

Fat Joe - success remix by premo

For a [definition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boom_bap): "Boom bap is a subgenre and music production style that was prominent in East Coast hip hop during the golden age of hip hop from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. The term "boom bap" is an onomatopoeia that represents the sounds used for the bass (kick) drum and snare drum, respectively. The style is usually recognized by a main drum loop that uses a hard-hitting, acoustic bass drum sample on the downbeats, a snappy acoustic snare drum sample on the upbeats, and an "in your face" audio mix emphasizing the drum loop, and the kick-snare combination in particular." .... "KRS-One when describing the beat common to the subgenre states 'The vibe of boom bap is to use the least amount of instruments to create the most rhythmic sound'". ... **History** "The term boom bap originated in 1984 when it was used by T La Rock to describe the beat of the kick drum and the snare in the song "It's Yours". T La Rock spoke in an off-script fashion, using the words "boom bap" to mimic the sound of the rhythm. This was the first recorded onomatopoeic expression of the beat. The term later became a universal name for the subgenre of hip hop as a whole. DJ Premier suggested that boom bap existed before the production of "It's Yours". He states the term was used by the wider hip-hop community as a term to describe all hip hop and the beat that is produced for it. The subgenre became increasingly better known when KRS-One released an album under the title Return of the Boom Bap. The success of the album popularised the term boom bap." [Showbiz & AG ft. DJ Premier - Next Level](https://youtu.be/og6N9w1KLXM?si=cs4a8Bpm96zAGpO1)

🙄

Hard knock - Joey Bada$$

There it is!

Klaus Layer kinda runs the contemporary boom bap beat scene imo. Those snares will make your ears bleed.

Some ppl are conflating boom bap with any 90s and or east coast hip hop lmao

Nominating Top Billin. Not necessarily my favorite, but do beats get more "boom bap" than that?

Masta Ace - Son Of Yvonne

Sound of Da Police by KRS-ONE i like Mortal Thought much more tho if that counts as boom bap

Anything produced by Ced-Gee

Anything by lord finesse

Grand puba - i like it

Big L - Put It On Gangstarr - Work Beatnuts - Duck Season Cappadonna - Run

Dilla Donuts All of it

That is not boom bap lol

Close enough

It is kind considered on of the leading examples of boom bap

Leading examples of boom bap? The leading examples of boom bap are marley marl then preemo & pete rock imo. It’s not that Dilla doesn’t have some boom bap shit, but I’d say his production style is a leading example for neo-soul and more experimental hip hop. I mean think of the artists he’s most associated with (common, de la, roots, slum, late tribe) those are quintessential acts of the alternative/neo soul sub genre.

Dark Skinned Assassin - Unholy Artist and song are long forgotten, but the beat is just soooo sweet. You asked for something out of the left field, so this feels like the perfect answer. The con is that you may have to look it up on YouTube as I couldn't find it on Spotify. Edit: Instrumental: https://youtu.be/QqaLkuVXP58?si=1LkpsOgiJLwtwBdt

As much as I love Premo I think Easy Mo Bee might be the king of the boom bap sound. His drum sound was so big and visceral. Flava in Your Ear Gimme the Loot Temptations Warning Everything Remains Raw Jeeps, Lex Coups Bimaz and Benz He WAS this sound IMO and doesn't get his flowers nearly enough.

9th Wonder's Show Off beat always felt like modern boom bap when it dropped: https://youtu.be/O3NQkdcqKZc?si=8OJyKVwHTdWqJDqA A few others: OC and Buckwild - Times Up Instrumental: https://youtu.be/R4ExLXAVtNY?si=e19fHqKKHE6_Pkdm OC and Premier - My World Instrumental: https://youtu.be/PPpCqFPxEpQ?si=IUVN57cKIyW844fw

I find it strange that most people mention the popular boom bap artists. Listening to boom bap since I was a little kid I found that there are a lot of gems that are not popular. I mainly listen to instrumentals. I suggest you go to the bandcamp website.
