Songs without Chorus/Hooks?

[ebayologist]

Today was my first class of this Music Survey of Hip-Hop class and the professor was explaining song structure to those that didn't know about 4 or 8 barhooks and 16 bar verses and how that was the norm and gave a few examples of when thats not the case. And I mentioned there are songs without hooks at and asan example I mentioned there is song on Prodigy's HNIC and the prof knew what song I was referring too but neither me nor the prof could think of the nameof the song or any others but the prof was glad I pointed that out and I was wondering if anyone knows what song I'm referring to and/or knows any othersongs w/out hooks...
