Just like the title says, what are you favorite beats that aren't traditional hip-hop beats? Some examples:

De Phazz - Cut The Jazz

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfYPJzKjbyk

Portishead - Biscuit

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiT0fBePR0Q

Although this ^^^ song was later used as a sample for a hip hop beat by Nine:

Force of Nature - Same Ol' Thing

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Pzsy8sBlxE

A Taste of Honey - Boogie Oogie "

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMywS3Tmj1g

Heatwave - Boogie Nights

Couple I thought of right away

Lovage - Book of the Month

And Laugh as you will, here is the INSTRUMENTAL of Britney Spears - Born to Make You Happy - tell me that there aren't any rap producers that could turn this into a FANTASTIC rap single

"I Can't Go For That" is one of my favorite songs from the 80's. Another great H&O song:

Portishead has hiphop beats with a female singing over it. I think they categorize themselves as triphop.

I just categorize them as extremely dope music.

This is true. I was aiming for "non-traditional" hip hop or rap beats. For all of the hip hop flavor that Portishead infuses into their music, they aren't a hip hop group. Just like they aren't acid jazz or house or dance or electronica.

I just categorize them as extremely dope music.

Yes.
