Do you guys actually LISTEN to much hiphop? You hear many slash chords there? (you hear much in the way of a chord structure at all?)

Don't forget, hiphop is not put together the same way as conventional music at all, more a montage of beats and sampled riffs. Trying to apply older song construction ideas to hiphop usually destroys it....
