Rap in non-4/4?

Anyone heard any rap waltzes or tunes in 6/8, 7/4? I've mined the "jazz rap" shelves heavily trying to find something, but haven't yet.

Outkast- "The Whole World" is 6/8, or so I've been led to believe.

Air - "Modular Mix (DJ Cam Mo Protection mix)" is in 7/8.

There's definitely some rap in 6/8 - I think one of the songs I heard off the new Jay-Z, which I don't have yet. Also, Stakes is High is either in an odd meter or just the phrases come in an odd number of bars - I forget.

"my 1st song" jay-z

there's at least one whole thread on this in real-ilx.

Homecoming by Tahir (the Dead Prez producer) has a few tunes in odd meters, if I remember correctly.
