But you said The Game is a top 5 rapper. Didn't you have him at the top of your list?

Yep. Most are listing great beats, only cause they're avid hip-hop listeners. The random 55 y.o. has never heard any of this stuff. Imo it has to used in a movie or TV show to reach that level. Off top the only or most recent beat to get there was Shimmy Shimmy Ya in Knocked Up. And I'm talking about movies that can appeal to everyone. Not some +%%% like a dance movie or 8 Mile. They have specific audiences. here

Wait...you don't think "Lose Yourself" beat is iconic? Just my opinion, but I think the Lose Yourself beat is better known than Heart of the City. Both are great tho.
I put Grindin' up there w. Shook Ones.

Naw.
Hate "Lose Yourself" but that's an ICONIC beat.
If you mean on that level then, 80% of my choices are null.

You guys aren't understanding the word "iconic". An icon is a representation for everyone to see. A beat that is known pretty much universally in the media, that represents hip-hop.
The best one in this thread was Lose Yourself.
"Classic" is different. "Grindin," "Still DRE," "In Da Club," and stuff like that are considered classic. Iconic is on a whole 'nother level.

Lose Yourself? No.
Iconic BEAT...not song.
Plus, I would put Lose Yourself in the "What you know" category--meaning, it was a popular song that was featured in a movie and a lot of commercials. It was pushed out there.

What about "Run This Town"?
I only mention it cause it's been used in a lot of movie trailers and TV series commercials. I remember it got me so hyped for the last season of 24
