I am just stepping into the world of music. Was wondering about triple meter. Any good examples of raw raps over 3??

    I found that Busta - Break ya neck seems like 7/8.
    Ofcourse I found good triples on my mahavishnu orchesta record but that is from "73.

    I did one, but it's not that raw. It's a little raw, but more cheeky than raw.

    I killed my second verse though, in a slice up teddy bear kind of way though.

  • Don't have a copy of that Busta track laying around, but I'm pretty sure it'd be in straight 4. Tracks in 7 rarely make it into the limelight. 5 on the other hand is more common (Mission Impossible or Take Five). On a side note, some one was trying to say Hey Ya is in 11/8, but my buddy and I figure is straight 4 with an added measure of 3.

    yeah, i think that's the case with a lot of these songs. they're in 4/4 with one bar that has less or more than four. that roots/q-tip cut is like that no?

    urrs, isn't Mike on "Whole World" just rhyming in triplets?


  • That sounds about right. Isn't it like eighth note triplets over a 4 rhythm. Also doesn't the last portion of the Cut Chemist (Chemical Calisthentics?) track on Blackalicious' Blazing Arrow bust into 6/8 that Gab subdivides by 4 or something? Could be wrong, been a while since I heard it.
