Guess “Niggas In Paris” wasn’t enough shine for this Cali producer. Hit-Boy hit 2012 with even more drive and diverse sounds. He worked with a wide array of acts from Nicki Minaj (“I Am Your Leader”) to A$AP Rocky (“Goldie”) to Justin Bieber (“Right Here”) to Kendrick Lamar (“Backseat Freestyle)”. But once again it’s Chauncey’s work with Mr. West that shined the brighest. Out of the bunch (“Cold”, “I Wish You Would”, “Higher”) “Clique” is our pick. A pulsating spacey groove that steadily hiccups along until the ill bouncy breakdowns in the chorus strike your chest cavity. ‘Ye, Sean, & Shawn know: Ain’t nobody fuckin’ with Hit-Boy behind the boards.
looooooooooooooool
clique is WAAAAAAAAAACK
Great choice before the haters come…
well, the only good thing bout this song is kanye’s verse! The beat is only addictive or catchy, till big sean starts his verse.. jay-z went 2 chainz on this.. wack track, wack choice!!
THERES GOTTA BE A YOUNG CHOP BEAT IN THE TOP 2,, EITHER I DONT LIKE OR US
1Train on Rocky’s album or The Way We Ride on Tip’s album were Hit Boys best beats of 2012 for me
clique over mercy? interesting choice. but easily the best of the 3 beats listed so far. i can rock with it.
Yup, love this beat.
wack beat… its a best beat on here because jayz n kanye was on it… fuck outta hea… that nigga beats is hella weird and sound lame as fuck
niggas in paris is only dope cuz of kanyes ghost producers editing on it… mike dean and other dudes that know how to make music and not just some bland ass 1 dimension melody
@calisteppin Co-sign!!! 1 train wus his best beat! but correction, The Way We Ride wus prod by 1500 or Nothin’.
Goddamn! You niggas really didn’t think this beat was flames or are you just being douches?
Like really?
Originality- Check
Great Drums- Check
Multiple soundscapes & melodies- Check

Clique, along with the other placements you guys mentioned are just some of the reasons that Hit-Boy had one of the best 2012s.
