Also...the beat change in "Complexion"...best part of the track. Sometimes I just go straight there.

2946748, Kool G Rap's cinematic "Thug Love Story" is a great one
Posted by fatboybrandon, Thu Oct-08-15 04:05 PM
A 3-beat-in-one banger from his "Roots Of Evil" LP, the change up of beats + G Rap's amazing flow = innovative storytelling in Hip Hop.

EPMD - Rampage
Ol Dirty Bastard - Baby C'Mon
The UMC's - Swing It To The Area
The way Dilla slowed it down at the end of The Red by JayLib (if that qualifies)
The way Pianist/producer Daniel Crawford flips to a sampled Dilla drum loop in some of his productions to pay homage

I love the subject matter switch that matches the change in beat. Typical hustler gun talk that switches to the more introspective content.

Posted by Dstl1, Fri Oct-09-15 06:28 AM
the first time I listened to the album, I was in a church around the corner from my crib, waiting in line to vote. Election Day, 2008. Lines were dumb long...even though I called myself going early. When that beat changed happened, I said "SHIT!"...just loud enough that I heard myself over the music...so I know the people around me did, too.

Not complete beat changes, but rather changes in rhythm and arrangement of the same sounds. Nicolay did some cool changes too on the 2nd FE album that stand out to me.

Redman telling to you shake it on "I'm A Bad" where he completely flips from Hip Hop to techno momentarily in the middle of the song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgN1pzh1K-o

Pete Rock blending from remix to original on the end of his remix of "Searching" from 'The Main Ingredient". www.youtube.com/watch?v=G42Ll2R7PA4
