Rap/R&B Songs in 3/4 Time

[doct3rdr3]

Listening to Black Skinhead, and I realized it's in 3/4 time (or maybe 6/8 time).




(3/4 Time means you count three beats for every bar. 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3.
Most Hip-Hop/R&B/Soul/Pop/Rock/Country music is in 4/4, or 4 beats for every bar. 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4.)


You mostly only hear 3/4 time in classical music--waltzes and the like. I can't think of any other rap or R&B songs set in 3/4. Can y'all help a breh out?

There's actually a decent amount of rap songs in different time signatures other than 4/4 b/c of sampling especially with Kanye and Dipset. Idk I think these are in 3/4.

As far as R&B

Btw OP this is 4/4, you can clearly count the 4. It's that the beat is syncopated that throws you off.

Yes spaceship is, and Nas heaven is 6/4 or 3/4. I haven't heard any trap beats in 3/4 though(but I don't listen to much trap though to know)
