According to a panel put together by LL Cool J and Rock The Bells, Mobb Deep's "Shook Ones Pt. 2" has the greatest beat for any hip hop song ever! The panel consisted of DJ Epps, Cool, DJ Scratch and Torea put together a list of the 50 Greatest Hip Hop Beats of All Time. Now, I'm not going to give you the full list here, so let's just do the top 5 songs on the list.

Nas - NY State of Mind

Craig Mack - Flava in Ya Ear

A Tribe Called Quest - Electric Relaxation

Dr. Dre - Still D.R.E.

And then Mobb Deep's - Shook Ones Pt. 2

When Havoc, the surviving member of Mobb Deep, found out about being crowned #1 he said - 

 “I just want to say how honored I am to have ‘Shook Ones Pt. II’ by Mobb Deep produced by myself, voted number one Hip Hop beat of all time.

“I remember being in the projects in Queensbridge, me and Prodigy just being there trying to make something for the world to hear our voice. And here we are this many years later, being saluted and held as the number one beat and Hip Hop greatest of all time.”

The beat itself is iconic, to say the least. If you remember, it was the beat in the final battle scene in "8 Mile" when B. Rabbit aka Eminem, squashes Papa Doc. 

Here ya go, the video for the song that has been crowned "Greatest Hip Hop Beat of All Time"
