i.g. Dread :
The only answer is three. There’s a pick up

TheWhoopsie :
Option 1 and 2 are basically the same just subdivided

Jake Howsam Lowe :
It’s literally 2, backbeat snare on the 3, melody starting on the 1, I don’t think there’s really any actual musicians arguing disagreeing about that.

Chris Bursley :
It’s 2 and I’ll be accepting no other answers. The snare drum and kick set this one

it’s 3. everyone who’s fighting about it has no rhythm

user9072261956138 :
It's option 3, and I don't trust anyone who disagrees. The bassline goes V-I in a single beat in the brass sample, the melody matches, so V is a pickup on beat 4 and I is on beat 1. It's so conventional.

Adam Frame :
1 or 2. #3 makes it sound like the strong beat is a pick up. Odd to me. 1 and 2 could be interchangeable. One is just double time. Depends on the conductor you could say! Ha!

DiemOnDeck :
You’re joking right? I have never talked to anyone who ever thought it was anything but 2.

Michael Ebie :
I hear it closest to option 3, except I hear “roll” as beat 1 instead of beat 3.

Bob Voyáge :
How do the 3 people explain the extremely common beat that makes tons of sense in 1 and 2

Richard Jarreau :
The person who made the beat (Timbaland) layered other sampled beats together with separate and distinct downbeats. So there are several in the song, but he programmed the drums that are not sampled and straight 4/4.

Father Matt :
I will concede to anyone that says 3 if you can find any other hip hop track with no backbeat on 4. Otherwise, 1 or 2 are obviously it.

Hunter LaMar :
Roll is on four and out is on one, I can’t imagine hearing this any other way. The instrumental intro establishes the rhythmic cadence before the vocals come in

Nothanksandno :
Hey, you’re back! Option 1 makes the drum beat bog-standard for where the bass drum, snare, and hats all land, as well as making the hook land on the tonic on the 1, which is typical for the genre. While one can decide to orient around anything they want, best practices for transcribing are to keep with genre conventions.

now talk about how all of the samples in Fantasy by Ludacris are in entirely different keys

Carbon24 :
none, they all offbeat lol. it should be 4/4, but the bpm is faster than the video shows

JazzGuitarNoob :
listen to the snare. it can't be 3. it's 1 or 2, depending on whether you think it feels like half time. I don't know where anybody gets 3 from. also, the words underneath fit with 1 or 2. OUT is on the down beat.

rwelshnoel :
As a dancer, we would count it as 3.

Ahh we did this in my (remedial) music theory class in grad school and I swear I was the only one that thought #3

librarymerwitch :
You can literally look up the sheet music. It's 3, the "Roll Out" is on 3 & 4

Regular Guy :
The kick and phrasing tell you where the down beat is and that makes it option 2. Option 1 is too slow, we’d be down to marking 32nd notes for the hi-hat fills. Option 3, it is possible to count that way, but nothing about the song structure or phrasing suggests that you would, especially in hip-hop.
