dog, im definitely sigging this

@ op, yeah sometimes its hard to count, but when you get your basic structure down, and find the time signature of the song it gets easy to count. and remember theres always a rewind button.

for instance this song its broken down like this (although i counted the lyrics) i havent gotten around to counting the beat yet (whilst trying to ingore the lyrics), i think it may have been more of a regular structure, its just that she just wanted to fit 4 emcees in it. try and figure it out for yourself, i think for someone trying to figure out song structure this would be a great experiment.

like padlock said above, you can ignore basic structure and still get your head nodding, this track is a perfect example imo.

this is the breakdown according to how the vocals are laid down.

2 bar intro/ 22 bar verse/4 bar hook/ 20 bar verse/ 4 bar verse/ 12verse/16 verse/4 bar hook/4 bar outro (you could also call the last 8 bars an 8 bar extended hook i guess)
