Moments Worth Listening For

The iconic mouth-click percussion and skeletal synth line that opens Drop It Like It's Hot.

The transition into the Bee Gees-sampling groove of Ups & Downs that shifts the album into a reflective gear.

Justin Timberlake's breezy falsetto hook on Signs perfectly complementing Snoop's laid-back flow.
