For some years its obvious, but others had too many good ones so I went with two for Dre's more active years:

87 - Boyz N The Hood
88 - Straight Outta Compton
89 - It's Funky Enough
90 - 100 Mile and Runnin
91 - Always Into Somthin'
92 - Nuthin But A G Thang/Deeez Nuuuts
93 - Who Am I/Serial Killa
94 - Natural Born Killaz
95 - California Love
96 - Been There, Done That
97 - Phone Tap
98 - Money (The King T song, not sure if this counts as a leak or not)
99 - Still D.R.E./Next Episode
00 - X/Lay Low
01 - Let Me Blow Ya Mind/Family Affair
02 - In Da Club
03 - Poppin' Them Thangs/If I Can't ***THE HARDEST YEAR BY FAR***
04 - Westside Story
05 - Outta Control Remix/Higher
06 - Imagine/Don't Get Carried Away
07 - Hold On
08 - Grow Up
09 - Underground/Catalina
10 - Kush

Too hard to narrow it down to one, way too hard for some of those years (03, 06, 09 had sooo many amazing Dre tracks). I would have said Game's Won't Stop for '07, Topless for '09, and a some more in the recent years, but leaks shouldn't count here.

I was lookin to see if anybody would say "Don't get carried away"...It felt like nobody felt that track but me
one of the best Dre instrumentals imo

It's good, but overshadowed by Been Through The Storm on the same album imo (allegedly co-produced/mixed by Dre).

i disagree, but that's cool.

by the way, Dre was credited for additional production for Been through the storm

Kush is the best beat of 2010? LOL.

2010 - Lost

Lost is much better than Kush, but it's a co-production with Dawaun Parker and doesn't sound that much like Dre's work.

So? That statement doesn't mean anything considering Kush was also produced by Khalil and the fact that damn near every Dre track is coproduced.

True, but the main producer on Lost is Dawaun Parker, it'd be unfair to give the credit to Dr. Dre on that one. Either way, it's my favourite track of the year so far.

I don't understand how you can give Dre credit on one and not the other. We already know that Khalil made the beat for Kush and Dre mixed it.
