Sorry, I mis-read that as "the best songs aren't that much more than one great loop repeated."

(i hope it doesn't sound like i was being dismissive of the rapping on the rap songs, i love the flows on all of them, i was talking about the backing tracks really, but i guess some of the raps benefit from a kind of attendant emotional heft that comes from the constant repetition)
