The Pharcyde- Bullshit (Instrumental)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsXyqmu1BFE

Damn this is simply a fat beat. On some next ish - just love the rolling piano hook and the hard claps. Get up, stand up...

Q-Tip - "Renaissance Rap"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6mzS7lIFrc

Crazy beat off Q-Tip's dope new album. It sounds like 'Featuring Phat Kat' on Welcome 2 Detroit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeH5ZsKFP6c). But Tip flips it and lets the hook ride a little longer - I'm lovin it.

Nujabes and Shing02 Luv Sic,and Luv Sic pt.2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LpYVSu1VeU

Different flow here - but still potent. The first track flows so smoothing into the next track - just some fatness. Oh and peep the switch up of the arrangement on Luv Sic - man there is so much going on here just some lovely beats.
