181935, Any Roots songs in odd time signatures?

Can't think of any. If not then why not? It's not like Roots music is for dancing...no reason not to mess around with some different time signatures in hip hop. My opinion at least.

?uest start experimenting :)

Ah nice I forgot about that one. 4/4 for most and then 2-2-2 (6/8) on the 6th I think. Nice.

time signatures, albeit none are "odd" (6/8, 12/8, 4/4, 3/4)
