Your suggestions for beautiful hip hop
 

This might belong in TQZ. Mods, please move it if this is the case. I'm looking for song suggestions for a mix I'm making of hip hop songs with beats that really stand out, specifically in that they are more "beautiful" than the norm. Lyrics are of minor importance compared to the beat. Here are a few examples of what I'm getting at:

Never Change - Jay Z
I Got A Story to Tell - Biggie
Respiration - Blackstar

I have plenty of my own ideas but I'm interested in outside input. Suggestions?

I'm not a huge fan of their other songs because Sage Francis is a big old geek, but I really like "The Cure" by Non-Prophets.

I have actually used the beautiful to describe this song in the past.

Some suggestions:

All That I Got is You - Ghostface Killah
You Never Know - Immortal Technique
Runaways - Sage Francis
Theives in the Night - Blackstar

That's off the top of my head, I'll try and come up with some more.

'50 Years' by All Natural fits your description perfectly. It's really a beautiful song.

That Ghostface track is a good one.

"You Got Me" by the Roots (?uestlove's beat at the end of this is so cold it kills me)
