The spark that set this off was the beat to “Yonkers”, a sinister middle finger to just about everything popular in 2011. Similar to the Sex Pistols with Punk Rock, Odd Future’s appeal to the counterculture caused a ridiculously loyal following. As the leader of Odd Future (or, OFWGKTA for you Hipsters), Tyler hung his hat on his direct opposition to the current state of Hip Hop at the time. I’m not sure how many of you remember, but this song was a big f*cking deal when it first came out.
However, for the Miscellaneous category, I had to go with a beat that initiated an entire cult-like following… The No. These are beats like Drake’s “ Pound Cake”, M.I.A.’s “ Paper Planes”, and Whiz Khalifa’s “ Black & Yellow”. The other half, obviously, is how well done they are from a technical aspect. And even today, half of the replay value is how addictingly unique they are. These are beats that blindsided us, since they sounded like nothing else at the time.
#Best rap beat drops how to
In other words, it literally teaches you how to Dougie (ba-dum-tsh!).ĭespite the bevy of categories we’re covering on this list, there were several that just didn’t fit any mold. While the Dougie is arguably the most difficult dance craze to execute, the beat makes it much easier for newbies to catch on. The beat effectively transfers the bass’s momentum between cowbell hits (lol) to create a distinct “swaying” effect–which happens to be the exact foundation of the dance. Rather, “Teach Me How To Dougie” was given the top spot in this quality for both its staying power and the way it perfectly complements the dance. If that were the case, it would either be “Cat Daddy” or “Hit the Quan”. Now, this selection wasn’t solely due to quality. 15 Pick: Teach Me How To Dougie– Cali Swag District Examples are Yikin’ with Sage the Gemini’s “ Red Nose”, and The Shmoney Dance with Bobby Shmurda’s “ Hot N*gga”.īut for this category, my pick goes to a true throwback… The No. Other songs were meant to be standalone, but had a dance tacked on. These are songs like Soulja Boy’s legendary “Crank That”, “ Cat Daddy” by Rej3ctz, We Are Toonz’s “ Drop That #NaeNae”, and “ Hit the Quan” by iLoveMemphis. Inspired dancing is one of the main byproducts of a great beat, after all.īut what about the tracks that were made to accompany a specific dance? “Dance Crazes” typically work in cyclical fashion, with an obscure dance usually coming first, a song produced to produce a hype wave, and the dance subsequently becoming popular in the mainstream. Obviously, most of the entries on this lists are songs that we love to dance to. Just make sure to explain why you think it was snubbed, or else you’ll just look like a Butthurt Betty.Īlright friends, onto the slaps: 15.Dance Crazes If you think I whiffed on any beats, let me know in the comments. I tried my very best to include as many suggestions as possible as legitimate contenders.
Like I said, there were a LOT of potential choices for this ranking.
