Post links to, videos for, audio clips, or simply references to hip hop songs that do not simply follow the extremely common 4/4 time signature: DJ Shadow - Changeling (most of this song is in 7/4): Freestyle Fellowship - Six Tray (the beginning and certain other portions of the song are in 6/4): Invincible - In The Mourning (this one is in 3/3 time):

You guys know how to count beats, right? You know, 1.... 2.... 3.... 4.... 2.... 2..... 3.... 4.... 3.... 2.... 3.... 4.... Etc. Well, try to count the beats on these ones. I guarantee you won't be able to count in 4's. The DJ Shadow one is 1.... 2.... 3.... 4..... 5..... 6.... 7.... 2..... 2..... 3..... 4..... 5..... 6..... 7..... , the Freestyle Fellowship one is 1..... 2.... 3.... 4.... 5.... 6.... 2.... 2.... 3.... 4.... 5.... 6.... , and the Invincible one is 1.... 2.... 3.... 2.... 2.... 3.... Etc.

Lol alright, here's a video of DJ Q-Bert counting bars: ^^^ in this video Q-Bert counts bars in a 4/4 time signature, which is the most common time signature in hip hop and most other forms of music. Try to count bars in the songs I posted above like that. You won't be able to because they aren't in 4/4. With the DJ Shadow track, if you count to seven instead of 4 you will be able to count the bars. With the Freestyle Fellowship track it's 6 and with the Invincible track it's 3.

found a few more: ^^^ 6/4 verses, 5/4 chorus ^^^ title makes it pretty clear ^^^ 3 bars of 4/4 then one bar of 3/4, could also be counted as 15/4

yup. also, i just realized that DJ Shadow's intention wasn't 7/4 time. it's 3/4, 4/4, 3/4, 4/4, etc.

doesn't this mess with your central brain nervous system the constant off beat and on beat interpolation could cause brain damage and hypomania hallucinations.
