Your favorite R&B/Hip-Hop "crossover" beats?

[GjB]

List some of your favorite beats that could be considered either R&B or Hip-Hop. Sometimes these types of beats are used on R&B albums for tracks that have a rapper featured.

Or...

For example, I consider alot of Timbaland's early work in the 90's in this "crossover" category. Alot of the beats that he produced for early Aaliyah and Ginuwine albums, could also suit a rapper well.

Name some...

Speaking of Dre...that reminds me of another example...that Truth Hurts feat. Rakim beat is another.

Another one that comes to mind right now is Lumidee feat. Busta Rhymes - Uh Oh

Another would be that Big Kuntry King feat. Trey Songz joint. People bag on that song but I love that beat.

Also....almost anything by Danja. I was on his page over a year ago and he had some stuff that he did for some R&B group

Alot of the beats that JT uses, could also suit a rapper a la My Love feat. TI
