Ha. You know, I was essentially going to say the same thing in the next link I put up.

Hip-Hop is hook dependent now. It's unthinkable to now just let the beat speak for itself.

Last rapper to really commit to that sort of thing was Rakim. Even through the "Don't Sweat the Technique" album, the choruses to lots of his tracks were just the beat playing.
