Flamenco-style handclaps are my ketchup - put them on, and everything tastes alright. They transform this song from lethargic neo-soul to something with frantic energy.
It's really sample-heavy: this amazing index lists all of them, but suffice to say it's fairly Dilla-heavy. Cutting so fast through such intricate samples makes for an intense instrumental. Sometimes small things are more powerful.

J. Period (Dilla Remix) - Rumble In The Jungle
Wow. This is a refit of the original Rumble In The Jungle, which starred the Fugees at their 90's peak, and Busta Rhymes. Lauryn's verse on this is pure fire.
It's a slimmed down version: some of the verses have been cut, and the static on the original has been taken off. In place of the white noise is an inspired sample: James Brown's It's a Man's World. It makes for a gorgeous combination - the intro where the beats slide together is very neat.
It's off the J. Period Cornerstone mixtape, which is downloadable, and really good - a mix of new talent and incredible remixes.
