Just Blaze provided a list of “10 Essential Songs” to XXL recently, a list that includes several Jay Z cuts.
“From his run with Jay Z to Kanye West, Just has accomplished a lot in his decade-plus career,” XXL, which also made a Beats playlist of the list, says. “These days, you can find the veteran producer on tour with dance DJs like DJ SOUL, Electric Punanny, DJ Sliink, and Dirty South Joe. He’s fully indulged in the dance/EDM world and thriving off the success of ‘Higher’ with Baauer. Signs of a true icon in Hip Hop icon.”
Just Blaze’s list is as follows:
1. Jay Z “The Dynasty (Intro)”
2. Fabolous “Breathe”
3. Jay Z “Public Service Announcement (Interlude)”
4. The Diplomats “I Really Mean It”
5. Just Blaze, Baauer “Higher” featuring Jay Z
6. Jay Z “U Don’t Know”
7. Usher “Throwback” featuring Jadakiss
8. Cam’ron “Oh Boy” featuring Juelz Santana
9. Jay Z “Girls, Girls, Girls”
10. Jay Z “Song Cry”
Lol please…. I see BIAS written all over this… Without Nas, they’re wouldn’t no Jay-z or Biggie
Or maybe he gave his best beats to Jay Z because he was the biggest artist in the game and the reason he has a career at all.
Or maybe it’s cause he worked out of Rocafella’s studio and was the in-house producer for everyone from Bleek, Freeway, Cam, Beans, Young Gunz, Amil and Jay-z.
Tell me Just how does Jay’s dick taste?
like success
Actually, given that Jay kept going back to Just Blaze for beats you could say Jay was on his dick, so to speak.
Just is a monster!
He looks like a very nice guy, so he’s not a monster.
the biggest songs are
1) best i ever had by drake
2) dreams money can buy drake
3) sucessfull drake
4) Headlines drake
5) marvins room- drake
6) Im on one – drake ft lil wayne rick ross
7) worst behaviour- drake
8) forever drake ft lil wayne
9) digital girl – drake
10) tuscan leather – drake
drake created hiphop any songs before drake came on the scene are irrelevent. Drake made jay z famous and cool with out drake jay z is a washed up peice of camel dung.
This must be a joke….

17. Jay Electronica – Exhibit A
18. Drake – Lord Knows
19. Freeway(feat Beanie Sigel) – Roc the Mic
20. Eminem (feat Lil Wayne) – No Love
Underappreciated:
Cam’ron(featuring Memphis Bleek and Beanie Sigel) – The Roc(fire)
Fat Joe – Safe 2 Say
The Game – Why you Hate the Game
Freeway – Line Em Up
Jay Z – Hovi Baby (great song on a bloated album)

Higher?
it’s all about ‘HOVI BABY’, for me.
Damn I’m surprised Joe Budden’s “Pump It Up” Or Memphis Bleek’s “Round Here” Isn’t on his list or T.I’s “I’m Talkin to You” Freeway “Flipside” Or Kanye West “Touch The Sky” But solid all around though…
Word word!
ahite songs but essential nah sorry just blaze.
I guess he felt Higher is One of his Best Tracks oh And How Can I forget Jay Electronica’s Exhibit C Half of Hip-Hop Jumped on that Beat…
Someone’s riding jays dick those aren’t even that great of songs…
Song Cry, PSA & U Don’t Know are but yeah I’ve always hated the fuck out of Girls, Girls, Girls
And someone has an elementary school comprehension level. These were the favorite beats he produced.
Wasted exercise. Essential Jay Z tracks u mean?
Never knew he did that Usher joint. And by the way, the Dynasty intro > the world and everything in it
Someone’s sucking Jay off, and it’s not Solange.
