Naturally, when it comes to choosing a good hip hop beat, the net result is a subjective conclusion. Indeed, at this point in time when it comes to hip hop music, there is a great debate over what qualifies as a good hip hop beat. With that said, there are a number of factors that hip hop music aficionados look for when seeking a good hip hop beat and excellent hip hop music.

1. First of all, many people who are searching for a good hip hop beat and excellent hip hop music consider how a particular tune and beat correlates to the roots of the genre. Hip hop actually was first a cultural movement. In time, the hip hop culture was reflected in music.

Hip hop culture finds its roots amongst African Americans who resided in New York City in the early 1970s. (There is some debate between “East Coast” hip hop artists centered in New York City and “West Coast” hip hop music artists centered in Los Angeles as to where hip hop music was born. While there may be some debate as to where hip hop initially was incorporated into music, there is no question that hip hop culture first gave expression in New York City of the 1970s.)

Most people who evaluate hip hop music even today consider how a particular beat lives up to the ideal of the urban hip hop culture that developed back in the 1970s. Raw. Energetic. Combustible. Counter-culture. These are all phrases that come into mind when a person makes the effort of considering the quality of a particular hip hop beat in music produced today.

2. Another point of consideration when considering the beat of hip hop music centers on whether the beat itself is endemic of the urban culture. In other words, the beat associated with hip hop music — with good hip hop music — necessarily must have a raw if not rough quality to it. The hip hop beat is intended to be an expression of the rough and tumble element of hip hop culture itself. In other, simple words, the hip hop beat is not intended to be “pretty music.”

3. When considering whether a particular hip hop beat is “good,” attention must be paid to the manner in which the words or lyrics blend with the beat itself. The selection of words and the manner in which they are sung, spoken or even yelled are an integral part of the overall beat itself. Therefore, when considering whether a particular hip hop beat is solid, attention necessarily must focus on how lyrics and “lyrical presentation” (broadly defined) fits into the overall scheme for the hip hop piece. The words written and the way the words are presented need to intertwine with the beat. There needs to be a natural, intrinsic relationship between the chosen words and the hip hop beat itself. Some would even suggest that the words selected by the artist and the underlying hip hop beat in a piece are inseparable parts of one music based whole.

4. On some level, current hip hop music is a sort of homage to the prior masters of the genre, particularly to those hip hop artists that have met with untimely deaths. (One must also acknowledge the West Coast/East Coast split in this regard.) As a consequence, when it comes to assessing the value and quality of a particular hip hop beat, attention must be paid to the manner in which it links with the work of previous artists — again, most particular with those who have met untimely deaths.

Although there is a desire to inject a sense of originality into any hip hop music or song, there is also a desire to link a new piece to what has come before. Take for example the case of Eminem. Certainly, a white hip-hop artists might seem to run counter to the urban hip hop culture of the 1970s. However, with that said, Eminem has tightly connected his work with certain hip hop legends that preceded him on the stage. Thus, he has enjoyed what only can be called phenomenal success in the past decade as a hip hop music artist.
