For the macho, stompy horn thing:

MOP - "Ante up" obviously
MOP - "Brooklyn jersey"
Screwball - "Beat 'em in the head"

This one's inexpendable, unavoidable, unbearable to do without:

Wu-Tang Clan: 'Uzi (Pinky Ring)'

Cee-Lo's "Closet Freak" and "Microhard"
Common's "I Am Music"
almost the entirety of D'Angelo's Voodoo

Not to reignite any Prefuse hateration, but Rjd2's remix of "Wylin' Out," the song Fuse did with Mos Def & Diverse, has a preposterously dope horn sample. (It's also reprised on Rj's album, I think.)

Dre - the watcher
Dre - what's the difference
Juvenile - let's roll (project english intro)

Pete Rock was probably the king of using horns in hip-hop, but I think you may be looking for a more dramatic sound than jazzy, muted trumpets...

Blu Cantrell - Breathe (go for the mix with Sean Paul) - serious tuba action! Or trombone or something anyway...

this is boring but I'll just point out again that the horn riff on the Beyonce single is sampled from the Chi-Lites' "Are You My Woman? (Tell Me So)". Why point this out? Because A) I love the Chi-Lites, and B) isn't that the greatest song title of all time?

Mexican hip-hop has all the greatest horn lines. Check "Super Riddim Internacional" by El Gran Silencio.

oh yeah and Control Machete's "Si Senor," the one they used on that Levis "crazy-legs" commercial
