40 could put out a whole album where all the beats were just 808 kicks turned up to +6 db and his diehard groupie fans would think it was the greatest shit ever because 40s raps go hard and the beats blow their subs out. Rap music without the beats, would just be spoken word/poetry, most these beats can barely be considered music cause they're so wack. With that being said the only Good song is stillettos and jeans.
