Firstly for me as an mc, i think what makes a beat dope is not on what you use, but how you use it.
Pete Rock; he can take a sample and bring that smooth ish that will make you want to tap a**.
E-lp; can make a beat so ill that you want to bump your head and look like an idiot.
Both producers are good in their field, but use different sounds to captivate the ears of one and all. Coming to my point, first feel your beat then dish it out. There are 100% of people in the world, 50% might hate that shit, but then you have another 50% to bump it to and they will be busting their speakers.
Peace
