Mobb Deep‘s 1995 classic “Shook Ones Pt. II” has been crowned the greatest Hip Hop beat of all time by Rock The Bells.
Just ahead of the new year, RTB gathered a panel that consisted of DJ Epps, Cool (of Cool & Dre), DJ Scratch and Torae to rank the top 50 Hip Hop beats. With a Top 5 that consisted of Nas‘ “NY State of Mind,” Craig Mack‘s “Flava In Ya Ear,” A Tribe Called Quest‘s “Electric Relaxation” and Dr. Dre‘s “Still D.R.E.,” Mobb Deep’s banger topped the list.
Produced by one half of the duo, Havoc, the song served as the lead single to their sophomore album, The Infamous.
Responding to the accolade, Havoc said: “I just want to say how honored I am to have ‘Shook Ones Pt. II’ by Mobb Deep produced by myself, voted number one Hip Hop beat of all time.
