You may be thinking of syncopation, but it is a little unclear from the question. Syncopated rhythms are ones that have beats in unexpected places. In a standard 4/4 piece, the accents will usually be on the first and third beats, with the first beat having a more pronounced accent. In a 3/4 piece, the accent will usually be on the first beat. If you diverge from this very general rule and put strong accents on other beats, or on fractions of beats, you are creating syncopated rhythms, which are very exciting and enjoyable to play and to listen to.
