I'll vote later, this is hard..

The Roots

i aint really a roots fan but buddy did his thing on that track and the beat was tight

Rock Co Kane Flow. My favorite Jake One beat.

Definitely Co.Kane

Yup after listening to all of them, have to agree with the 2 above me.

I loved Don't Say Nothin' & Two Words, but I gotta agree with everyone above... Rock Co. Kane Flow is fucking insane.

Not a Roots fan= not a hip hop fan.

Two Words... and once again a weak selection from outside the East Coast... like niggas in Cali, Chicago, and the South can't make beats too...

4/10 are from outside the eastcoast. Do what wutang4life (wugambino) does and send me your favourite beats of every year and that way some will probabaly get in. Also I make these threads within about 5-10 mins, if i can't think of enough albums that came out in that year i will search hip hop albums of "insert year" and go through them, sorry but most the albums i think of and i look up are from the east coast...

Yea.... Co.Kane was insane...

Kill Us All, damn never heard that before, intense, maybe the lyrics swayed my decision but loved the beat also.

Damn....2004 really sucked for beats aye?? Im going with Ghost, Biscuits......

^yeah i'd take out selfish and don't say nothin... the others are solid beats though... selfish is just to soft, though the vid is dope... and don't say nothin is just plain garbage...

Damn....2004 really sucked for beats aye?? Im going with Ghost, Biscuits......

C'mon these beats are dope, something wrong with your ears cuzz?

Rock Co. Kane Flow

C'mon these beats are dope, something wrong with your ears cuzz?

eeeh.....Nas beat is mad soft.....that whole album had some weak ass production......could have had a joint off Alchemist album, JMT album to replace that......IMO of course....

Rock Co....

That's why there are part 1's and 2's and 3's... and i don't know what you and jayant mean by soft? do you mean it ain't got enough bass, not raw enough, to laid back? so what...

i went with why. good havoc beat.

Definitely Rock co. Kane Flow
