#Ludagate is for stoner idiots that never took a music theory class. Drums keep the tempo (usually) in any given pop / rap track. The off beat is not the beat. Next people will be freaking out about ska guitar. Examples to follow:
I Got Five On It - Urban Takeover / Aphrodite / Mickey Finn
The track starts out with the regular 4/4 ~60 Beats Per Minute rap tempo, at about 22 seconds in, which is the backbone of all drum n bass, then proceeds to 120 BPM at about 1:06 (double snare) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-aYi-8kf5Q&feature=youtu.be&t=23&ab_channel=UrbanTakeover">https://www.youtube.com/watch... https://www.youtube.com/watch...

At 1:50 the main rap 4/4 60 BPM breakdown hits with the hook sample chorus. At 2:34 it goes into the simplest of jump-up Drum n Bass beats.

Drum n Bass 175 BPM. It still uses the 4/4 as the main underlying backbone, it& #39;s just sped up with flourishes added. If you dance to it at half speed (every other snare) it& #39;s still the same old 4/4 rap song beat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXa4JjxIZiQ&ab_channel=LaBoit%27a%27Zik">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Another D&B example with the second snare hitting an early off beat, second kick drum missing. The underlying tempo remains the same. D&B used to sample old jazz tracks (amen break) which is where all this comes from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyWK1ac1OAo&ab_channel=DrumApe">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
You can mix every single video I& #39;ve linked in this thread so far on top of each other, as long as you beat match. The foundational timings are all lined up. Random D&B megamix showcase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ0nTeNQdJ8&ab_channel=UKFDrum%26Bass">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
