’11 Best Beats: #2 Just Blaze “Lord Knows”

It’s tough to judge this guy because he’s actually my friend but thankfully the hip-hop nation agrees—Justin Smith is one bad muthafucka behind the boards. And the man who helped build the soundtrack to the Rocafella dynasty proved that he’s still destined for more greatness in 2011. The hardest moment on Drake’s Take Care comes courtesy of him as he turns an obscure gospel sample (sung over by a live choir) into a musical masterpiece. MCs would kill to spit over such audio crack and have done so without an official instrumental release. Make no mistake, Just Blaze is still dope. And he’ll remain that forever.

  2. me says:

    figured it would be #1

  3. WOW says:

    Rick Ross’ “Ugh’s” are in the instrumental? lol great beat

  4. Truth (The real one) says:

    Lord Knows this had better been in the top 3. RR…Your excused 🙂

  5. ZoomZoomDad-Otis says:

    Just Blaze gotta be on the new FIF album. Lord Knows beat is nice. But should’ve went to a rapper not R&B singer.

  6. Mj says:

    For 1# my guess is 6 foot 7

  7. Dr. Dre's Ass says:

    Niggas In #1 Spots

  8. M.T says:

    Dope beat. It sounds like it was made for rick ross instead of drake though.

  9. DRAG says:

    @ZoomZoomDad-Otis — exactly — this was the best beat on the album. And he shares it with Rick Ross?! He only has like 2 rap songs on the album and he shared it with the Wing Stop guy? Thats why I say he is a good rapper and a good singer, I don’t think he is great. And this def stopped him from being great.

  10. the illest says:

    Good choice. I thought J. Cole shouldve been on this list for “God’s Gift”.

  11. Mj says:

    Lol chill Ross did like 12 or 16 bars

  12. KoldCase says:

    niggas in paris will be 1 (beat is knocking)

    but i hope the put “gotta have it” as number 1

  13. Word says:

    I thought to myself, this should go #1 but far but then I remembered NIggas In Paris was a huge thing the last few months so thats gonna be #1. Rightfully so though, its hard to chose between these two beats. Niggas in Paris gets the people going tho!

  14. Mj says:

    What bout ima boss? Or did they already do that

  15. SmokeYou says:

    Yeah this beat is sick.

  16. CTA says:
