"Let Me Blow Ya Mind," which I ticked though it's not nearly as good as "Who's That Girl?," is one of the few hip-hop tracks that's based on a 12-bar pattern - not that it's 12-bar itself, only 8, and not that it's a blues, but blues is what helped generate the pattern.

'I Got 5 On It' would be another yes?

I'd say no, but I'm not sure why, because I can see what you mean about the location of the chord change - maybe the chords themselves. By the way, I don't remember the song, but listening now it's quite compelling and concentrated (the only false move is the singing; should have kept talking).
