J. Jacques Doesn't Care About Black People: A Hip-Hop Thread
jcknbl:
Twista.
Now here me out. I realize he raps about ho's and pimps and that the production is pretty average. But the guy has got crazy speed.
I also like Outacast, Aesop Rock, Atmosphere, J5, Kanye, Run-DMC, Public Enemy, Talib Kweli and don't forget fucking De La Soul and Mos Def.
A question. Hip-hop sub genres? What are they and what are the distinctions?
KharBevNor:
Not that I have any authority or knowledge whatsoever, but I'm pretty sure it's to do with what kind of beats and whatnot you use.
You can get reggae hip-hop, for instance.
beat mouse:
crunk is very easily not even rap music. it's dance music. that's like looking at rave music (without being so fucking horrifying as house music) and comparing it to DJ Shadow. it's got electronic simple beats, a lot of the similar samples (claps, whistles) and often the same repeated hooks that aren't based on rhymes/serve nearly as much as you'd find in rap music.
i love crunk, but it's nearly impossible to call it rap.

--- Quote from: Zaarin ---I really hated rap until I discovered the Sugarhill Gang
--- End quote ---
The Sugarhill Gang are not rappers. They may happen to rap (when asked to do so by a record company), but they are bouncers, who were helped out by a lot of rappers, and promptly forgot these rappers that helped them get their fame. Goddamned sellouts.

ugh it's almost jarring to see people who haven't yet placed hip-hop into the "doesn't suck" category.
however, i'll have nothing but respect for Outshined if he/she keeps the attitude after giving a fair chance to the standard hip-hop groups that are used to changes the minds of naysaying hipsters.
it's equally jarring to see that there is no love for the wu-tang clan on here.
and am i the only one who's getting tired of doom? yes, he's talented, but damn he never changes up his flow at all.
