What's a song that you think you could show somebody that's never heard of hip hop to explain what the genre is? I think my pick is Mathematics by Mos Def

I would have to start somewhere near the Donuts album by J Dilla, if not with that album.

If only for the rosetta stone effect of being able to recognize J Dilla samples and loops used all over the place/when hip hop production is directly referencing J Dilla in its style.
