It's that sense of the rhythm stopping on a dime isn't it. Flurries and abrupt halts and pauses.

Listen to other QJ productions from that era (eg George Benson Give md the night) and all of a sudden it sounds like QJ feat MJ.
NWA vs. Public Enemy. PiL vs. Pistols. Wiley vs. Dizzee. Sly & The Family Stone vs. Funkadelic. Beefheart vs. Zappa. Beatles vs. Beach Boys. Neil Young vs. Bob Dylan.
Presumably Timbaland v Neptunes has already come up, probably the duel in which I would find it most impossible to take a side. Alice Coltrane v John Coltrane?
Presumably also someone has already linked to k-punk's blog on the "synthetic panther-sheen" of Billie Jean. http://k-punk.abstractdynamics.org/archives/2009_06.html Great writing, with the added meta-bonus of a controversial nod to the sonic architecture of "I Feel for You"

Neptunes vs Timbaland is another good one. Personally speaking I'd be torn between Timbaland's outright singular genius and the Neptunes just making so many amazing pop tunes that I love. (I'd undoubtedly vote Neptunes.)
