I strongly disagree with Walk This Way. First of all, it's not a hip hop beat. Basically the version that's widely know was a remake. It's the same song that Aerosmith did and Run DMC added lyrics later.1. Sugarhill Gang - Rapper Delight
2. Afrika Bambaataa - Planet Rock
3. Run DMC - Walk This Way
4. Biggie - Juicy
5. Jay Z - Hard Knock Life
honorable mention
6. Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg - Nothin But A G Thang
fixedKriss Kross - Jump
2pac - California Love
Snoop Dogg - Gin & Juice
Dr. Dre - Forgot about Dre
NWA - Straight Outta Compton
Boy the west coast had the game on lock back then.
Agreed, could also make that point with Rapper's Delight as well tho.

Same thing for Hard Knock Life. It got known because of what it was before. People liked it because they were familiar with the Annie version, which added to the song's popularity.
4 out of the 5 were debatable, but I didn't feel like typing out all of thatAgreed, could also make that point with Rapper's Delight as well tho.

That's why I posted The Message as #1 'cause it's an original beat... I would definitely argue that Rapper's Delight as a song is just as iconic or important (if not more so) in the overall history of rap...
But The Message is surely the most iconic beat (imo)
How did Check The Rhime not make it up here?

I think someone did mention it. And speaking of ATCQ, I'd put Electric Relaxation on here too.
Humpty Dance - Digital Underground. Gimmicky song, but the beat is unmistakable.
How I Could Just Kill a Man - Cypress Hill
Playaz Club - Rappin 4-Tay
All the others I can think of are already one here.
I'd have to put Award Tour above Electric Relaxation.
Rappers Delight
TROY
King of Rock
CREAM
Straight Outta Compton
If that's what you judge it by you can put Soulja Boy up there as well, well known doesn't equal iconic imo.Juicy?
I mean, 3/4 people...not just hip-hop fans, probably know this song word for word.
