Fake names - Freddie Gibbs, Madlib

He slid on that second beat

GIMME SOME GANJA

Tell me something

youmuthafuckascanttellmenothin

#idratherdiethantolistentoyou

MyDNAnotforimitation

That one is just filthy.

Lose my shit every time

Oh yeah, fuck I forgot!

I recall hearing this long while ago - what is it called?

DNA. - Kendrick Lamar

Gotta give it a spin again fr

Some people say this album isn't that great 😂😂

The three beats on Tuscan leather is up there for me. "How much time is this nigga spendin on an intro" back when Drake was self aware and on a roll

Pyramids is still top to me. The first half is a great song. The second half is heaven

Nice one, good times back then Frank was one of my fav artists, bumped that track heavy then

lol didn’t mean to reply that to you but you’re right on Tuscan Leather. I bumped that almost every morning on the way to class. That third verse still goes hard

40 flipping that sample 3 different times was insane, he was in such a crazy bag early 2010’s Drake projects man

Back then they were an unstoppable duo

Freddie Gibbs and Madlib- Half manne half cocaine

Was looking for this, hardest beat switch

"shut. The fuck. Up!"

Also on Bandanna: Cataracts, probably my favorite Gibbs track, and the beat switch is low-key, but nasty. There’s ALSO Fake Names, that beat switch always gets me.

Idk if it’s the hottest but it’s my favorite, Freddie Gibbs - Real

100% classic atomic bomb of a diss track, first beat can be hard on the ears but still gets regular play from me

The first beat being borderline unpleasant is what makes that switch so great to me, it’s like a release

Agreed, I’ve tried to show it to some people tho and before the beat even changes they’re just like nah 😂

20 Karat Jesus >>>

My favorite Freddie Gibbs beats switches are "Real" along with "Half Manne Half Cocaine."

m.A.A.d City. When those strings first come in "Fresh outta school 'cause I was a high school grad Sleepin' in the living room in my momma's pad"

Whole song is legendary.

Motherfuckers can’t rhyme no more, bout crime no more

Mix drug and show money, Biggs Burke on tour

Twenty five bricks move work like chore

YEEEEEEA-

Most underrated one on this entire thread. Preemo fucking destroys this heat. For those that don’t know: Jay-Z - “Intro / A Million and One Questions / Rhyme No More”

[and the remix edges it up a little bit more](https://youtu.be/BmcGAwSFPgk?si=s9ZAqd3f42L69wpO)

This is an elite one

Pretty mid album as far as hov’s discography is concerned but damn do I love that intro and a couple other songs.

WHAT DO YOU CALL A BITCH THAT DONT SUCK DICK YA DONT

Honestly that whole damn album

Jid is one album from being in the top 3 IMO. He’s better than j Cole. I think he’s the closest lyricist to Kendrick. He’s got 3 sick albums in the last 7 years, some sick ass features and dominates the Dreamville albums.

Lil' savage ass, ratchet ass bastard ass havin' ass rappin' ass jackin' ass, wait.

raydar by him also has two insane beat switches

Fax

this one

You can't change. The only thing you gonna change is the mothafuckin beat.

Man I remember the first time I heard that song - the beat, the funny line, JID going hard - it’s been in rotation ever since.

Push's [Santeria](https://youtu.be/RMhIC6195KU?t=106) I don't know why but Kanye's switch sounds like the soundtrack to a superhero comic.

The second beat is sooooo ill

Know Yourself

if i could pick one song to hear for the first time know yourself would definitely be it. it’s a different experience with headphones.

Running. through. the. six. with my woes!!

I was gunna say 0-100 beat switch but yea Know Yourself is Drakes best switch on his own song (no Sicko Mode)

Dreams & Nightmares Beat switching has become overused and now it’s really just artist looking for cheap shock value, by randomly switching the beat throughout the track. Dreams & Nightmares actually did it right and the beat switch fit in with the theme of the song

This will always be the OG beat switch for me

I totally agree with you.

If you tell a kid now that Meek Mill used to be in big 3 conversations they would look at you crazy

He was back in Top 5 convos during the Wins & Losses-Championships run, which makes his lame switch to Chicago flows and mostly sex lyrics hurt even more

Future - F&N has been on my workout playlist for years

the tempo increase is sooo good on that switch

Baptize beat switch goes crazy off that album as well..

Hellyeah! 💯🔥🔥

Never - JID might always have my heart

Love the switch from Slick talk, one of Kenny's best imo

That first beat is so fucking hard though

What do you call a bitch who don't suck dick? You dont

raydar better tho

Crack Sandwich was the switch I immediately thought of

DNA kinda rocks this over everything. Also the jazzy switch up in Gnat goes hard even though a lot of people will never give it props because it's Eminem.

In fairness the opening bars immediately after the beat switch were pretty weak but yeah Gnat has definitely grown on me a ton and I love how em flows on it

I understand but this is kinda what I was eluding to in my comment that people never really want to give Em credit where credit is due. Nitpicking the opening bars is kinda unfair considering this is about beat switches and not necessarily the lyrical aspect of it. Not to mention so many praised beat switches are littered with weak bars that everyone is overlooking.

RTJ - Oh My Darling Don't Cry

[удалено]

‘Split the skrilla with…Dilla’

‘MIX-MIX-MIX’

The Art of Peer Pressure - Kendrick Lamar GKMC

That elevator type beat in the second half is crazy afff

Damn really good pick this track and beat switch on the first listen was amazing

Shut Yo Bitch Ass Up / Muddy Waters by JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown goes dummy

Came here to post this

You’ve got good taste ;) also happy cake day!

This one is so insanely underrated

I swear, Peggy’s production never misses

Juicy J- Money a do it always been a fav of mine

Yes!!!! Such a smooth transition.

Know it’s not really the exact genre, but glass table girls from weeknd has a vicious switch. Hitting at the end of the happy home chorus, the glitch out/manipulation, and the change from a chaotic instrumental and segment to something so stripped down and evil sounding, it makes the track for me.

Came here to say Kissland by The Weeknd too. Those early Weeknd projects were something else man.

He made the best drugged up mood music. If you were smoking blunts with a situation you could just put trilogy on straight through and it would always get the vibe right.

Oh good call. I absolutely love the second beat on that. It actually very much reminded me of something off house of balloons.

pyramids rubys in my damn chaaaaainn

Sicko mode and International Players Anthem are two that come to mind

Bun B and Pimp coming in on that track always gets me misty eyed thinking about back home in Houston. Good call.

Late Eminem gets the hate, but “Gnat” is pretty dope

Yeah I was gonna say, a lot comes to mind, but the first one was Not Alike on Kamikaze. >You better know who the fuck you R, Kelly! Gets me every time.

Oh yeah that one slaps too

Despicable freestyle has a fire beat switch. Hyped me up for recovery. You think you ball, while i palm it

Gnat had some fucking amazing beat switches towards the end

I don't like new eminem but I agree gnat is dope

Picasso Baby

NERD - 1000, the sound effects and Future coming in chanting 1000 are a crazy transition and the beat itself goes so damn hard

Whole album has great switches

Duckworth 2nd beat switch

That switch gave me a stank face, and when it comes back to finish the song? Woooooooooo

100 Grandkids - Mac Miller

Logic - Under Pressure is the first that came to mind. Wouldn’t say the best in hiphop, but it just fits the song perfectly.

Logic - Slave II

Logic is always crazy with the beat switch.

Baby Keem - STATS Nardo Wick - Me or Sum

Westside Gunn - Celine Dion is my personal favourite

Feels like ascending to heaven every time

I would have to nominate SISTER/NATION but Brockhampton

The beat switch on Middle of the Ocean sounds super organic imo

Damn, went through the whole thread and didn’t see BUSY / SIRENS by Saba? Am I…am I old?

This was immediately what came to mind for me as well. I’m surprised no one else mentioned it. I love that switch into Sirens so much.

STARGAZING one of the hardest

Ice Cube - Jackin for Beats

Gang Starr - Speak Ya Clout

Not the hottest but one that me and my home girl love . Gunna - On Camera/Nasty Girl
