Listening to the leaked Common song No Sell Out and instantly thought of Ghostface's Mighty Healthy in terms of songs where the rappers goes on with no choruses in between his bars to break up the rhyming. What are some other songs similar to this?

The last one is technically a Kanye West song but was suppose to be on Be and Kanye believed in it so much he put it on his own. So it's only by default. But Common definitely knows how to go full throttle on a track.

how you define a hook then smarty pants. because in my opinion if you say the same thing twice it's a hook unless your Mike Jones or Sean Price or Drake.
sike
seriously though, i wasn't saying it was a hook. quite the opposite, i'm saying it's my favorite hookless Doom song. it even plays at being a hook, but is quite the opposite

not only were people on this site saying that about the beat, but even the writers for other websites and bloggers as well, it's a dope beat, and he spit a clean ass verse, IMO.
IMO, right? that's what you have to say on here these days? lol

If you do so, please post that mix here. I just remembered that the recent Del/Parallel Thought project has some tracks where he goes off without any choruses; On Momma's House, Charlie Brown, Ownership are tracks that come to mind .
"Sean sparks like John Starks, nah, Sean ball like John Wall" - Rest In Power Forever Sean Price.
from both Slick Rick and Mos Def are without hooks as well. And if memory serves me right, all the Supaman Luver tracks from Redman are without choruses as well.
