Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring but brilliant transition from Kenny Rogers' country croon into a hard-hitting Brooklyn rap verse.
The haunting siren-like vocal interplay between Wyclef and Mary J. Blige on 911.
The moment the acoustic guitar riff from Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here kicks in over a hip-hop breakbeat.
