Awesome thread! There was some sort of a ghetto house/juke revival last year. Room(s) by Machinedrum is a good album that came out of that. Here's a sample from it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82t_wZlV_3k

Uk Garage/Future Bass or whatever that kind of stuff is called is also still going strong, a shitload of good singles coming out of that scene. Especially stuff on Hessle Audio is great! Blawan, Objekt, James Blake before he started with that boring singer-songwriter-ish stuff

Here's Getting Me Down from Blawan, this such a big tune! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIkhewd69SE

>Blawan, Objekt, James Blake before he started with that boring singer-songwriter-ish stuff
Those are all awesome is what I meant to say :D

>hiphop beat
>genre

A beat, just not sung on. How's that qualify for a genre in your eyes? Except for, I take it, your not a big fan of rap?

>>9940
Yeah, if anything that would qualify as instrumental hip-hop. Also as soon as I clicked that trap music soundcloud link and I saw these weird letter thingies I got an uncontrollable urge to turn it off. Why can't people use normal letters? That shit annoyes me since the witch-house people started doing it with all their triangles and shit.

>>9940
'trap' is a genre, I didn't make it up myself lol

I honestly haven't gotten into it but apparently it isn't new either. And no, I'm not big on rap. Also I did find the 'music' to be a little more than just some background beats one would rap-over in that they have inherent musical value to my ears. Did you listen to the soundcloud profile I linked?

>>9938
Awesome, thanks!

>Uk Garage/Future Bass or whatever that kind of stuff is called is also still going strong

We dont' get a lot of it here where I am at, across the pond (Florida). You can find it if you look for it venue-wise but I only know of two places that advertise that they play it and both nights are weeknights. I'm not saying it isn't big but it isn't big-enough to be well known in this area by a consumer crowd. The DJ's and Musicians are of course familiar and do slip in a track here or there.

>>9940
Let me add to that.

I rather enjoy the 'instrumental hip hop' or 'trap' or whatever you wish for it to be called in that there isn't somebody rapping about making crack pies and effing hoes and running train on somebody's woman and then shooting insert-derogatory-term

>trap music
That's called instrumental hip hop you filthy plebian.

J. Dilla - Donuts
RJD2 - Deadringer

These are some great instrumental hip hop albums

>>9936
>the arguably worthless rapper

>>9968
Oh dear god, this entire post.

How ignorant can someone be?

Let me guess, you like everything but country and rap, right? lol

>I rather enjoy the 'instrumental hip hop' or 'trap' or whatever you wish for it to be called in that there isn't somebody rapping about making crack pies and effing hoes and running train on somebody's woman and then shooting insert-derogatory-term
wow

don't worry Cage, maybe if we give him something like MF Doom we can cure him of these delusions that thuggish, misogynistic Rap Hip-Hop isn't one of the most important advances in modern creative expression. Then we can give him some Black Milk, Curren$y, El-P and Kendrick Lamar to knock some sense into him.

>>9971
Fuck that, I don't think he'd be intelligent enough to get through an Aesop Rock song.

Trap Rap: Form of hip hop characterized by beats with high-pitched synthesizers (often imitating brass or orchestral tones) and hard, frequently polyrhythmic 808 drum machine lines at moderate to slow tempos with fast hi-hats as counterpoints. The term 'trap music' was coined by T.I. with his 2003 album Trap Muzik; as he describes it, the 'trap' is "basically where drugs are sold." Accordingly, in 'trap music', images and descriptions of the drug-dealing lifestyle are invoked heavily.

From http://rateyourmusic.com/genre/trap+rap

Sounds like instrumental hip-hop and trap rap are different genres, unless you're talking about something else. That said, I haven't heard much instrumental hip-hop outside of J Dilla, Nujabes, and RJD2. That song you linked to wasn't bad, OP.

The reason I mentioned and requested is because I wanted to hear more. Please don't insult my 'musical taste' in a thread requesting more of certain genres that I don't think I've heard enough of yet and have come to ponychan requesting more examples of so that I might hear more.

Thread isn't even about my musical tastes. Its about requesting some lesser known genres.

>delusions that thuggish, misogynistic Rap Hip-Hop isn't one of the most important advances in modern creative expression

Now I'm slightly insulted, lol. Whatever, read what you want to read, don't expect me to take you seriously for adding your own content to mine and then acting like its all mine to begin with.

>>9974
Well thanks!

>>9981
When you're being so willfully ignorant and idiotic it's hard not to though. It'd be like if I said I believed the world was square and didn't expect anyone to call me a retard.

So yes, you're a retard.

>>9983
>So yes, you're a retard.

Why am I a retard again?

>>9983
Oh I know. You read 'Ghetto House' and then the description for trap music and inferred what this thread and the music it described was all about.

Am I right?

>>9984
>>9985
No. Because you're ignorant enough to take as broad and poetic a genre as hip hop and imply that every rapper is....
>rapping about making crack pies and effing hoes and running train on somebody's woman and then shooting insert-derogatory-term

Honestly, if you think this, you're pretty fucking ignorant. Try actually listening to music.

I rarely use this word, but it totally fits here.
Tool.

>>9987
Oh I understand, you got your jimmies rustled.

Because you got upset you took some liberties with the message and made implications.

Don't worry, there are several 'rap groups' and 'rappers' I have enjoyed before and would still enjoy today. I find many of them quite talented. Often the message is very 'real' though it is rarely positive in my experience.

However the ones/themes I described I don't particularly enjoy. I already know how to cook a crack pie by now and I remember at least 3 of the 10 of the crack commandments.

You'll excuse me disengaging with you about this further I hope we can chat about something else.

>Tool

Listen to them at all? Fav song(s)?

>>9967
Yes, and it came off to me as hip-hop instantly, but genres are difficult, granted.


lesser known genres...
Bhangra? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjhlUa7mJRk

>rustled jimmies

You clearly don't know me.

>Don't worry, there are several 'rap groups' and 'rappers' I have enjoyed before and would still enjoy today. I find many of them quite talented. Often the message is very 'real' though it is rarely positive in my experience.

Oh dear god, you just can't stop being a pretentious twat can you? You are the epitome of plebian.

So what is it going to take to get you to go away or leave? I don't see how you are contributing, or that you have a point to make other than attempting to antagonize me.

Will you feel better if you feel you have 'won' ? Some people are like that, lets give it a shot.

Hi Cage, I'm Graham, and I'm sorry but you were 100% right and I was 100% wrong. You are correct, I'm a retard. I'm ignorant. I obviously know nothing about music.

Thanks for enlightening me and putting me in my place. I'm glad you are here to correct me and show me the way. I'm sorry for having ever instilled within you the desire to antagonize me: completely my fault.

You win.

There - are you satisfied at this point? Feel better about the situation and better about yourself? Is there anything else I can do to further satisfy the needs that I created by instilling within you and all of the knowledgeable music world the desire to antagonize myself?

Also its "plebeian" I believe, just as a sidenote. One good educational turn deserves another. Quid pro quo if you prefer more latin.

>>10007
>Will you feel better if you feel you have 'won' ? Some people are like that, lets give it a shot.

Yes.

>Hi Cage, I'm Graham, and I'm sorry but you were 100% right and I was 100% wrong. You are correct, I'm a retard. I'm ignorant. I obviously know nothing about music.

And knowing is half the battle

>Thanks for enlightening me and putting me in my place. I'm glad you are here to correct me and show me the way. I'm sorry for having ever instilled within you the desire to antagonize me: completely my fault.

It's okay, I forgive you.

>You win.

It was the only outcome.

>There - are you satisfied at this point? Feel better about the situation and better about yourself? Is there anything else I can do to further satisfy the needs that I created by instilling within you and all of the knowledgeable music world the desire to antagonize myself?

My opinion of myself is unable to go any higher anyways, but I do feel better about the situation.

Also, you should renounce Tool. They're bad and you should feel bad for liking them

>>10008

>Spelling correctly
>nigga do you even cook?

This is pretty funny but I am tired of railing on people for having different opinions.

and I hate to say but Trap is a genre. One I am not particularly fond of myself but nonetheless a genre. Synths and production and repetitious beat always drove me nuts.

>>10013
It's just instrumental hip hop.

It's the fucking equivalent of crab-core.

>>10015
>crab-core

What the hell.... you'll have to enlighten me, the last time I bought an album '____-core's were not widely known genres and didn't have special '____-core' sections in the music aisle.

That would be emo-core, metal-core, screamo-core I think is one, and I guess now crab-core.

The only 'core' I am actually familiar with as a purchasing consumer would be 'hardcore' which as I understand it has an even different meaning for today's younger generation than it did when I was their age.

>>10019
Crab Core is a joke genre they made up on /mu/

Whats worse is it's now listed as a serious genre by some.

The joke is you can change nothing in a genre and call it a new genre. Trap is literally Instrumental Hip Hop. Instrumental Hip Hop is Hip Hop production without rappers.

It's basically crab core imo.

>arguing over the arbitrary lines between what is and isn't considered a genre
>sorites paradox

Both of you are being giant fucking babies. Especially you, Cage. This argument is pointless and you should feel bad about it.

And Tool's a great fucking band.

  I have some Norway-style country music here if anyone's interested. That's pretty much the only unusual genre I listen to.

Here's some moombahton! I'm really not sure how to describe the genre other than bass heavy dance music with a strong latin american aspect.

From Wiki ~

Moombahton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Moombahton
Stylistic origins Reggaeton, House music (primarily Dutch house or electro house)
Cultural origins March 2010 Washington, D.C.
Mainstream popularity Low to moderate mainstream presence from 2011 to present.

Moombahton is a fusion genre of house music and reggaeton that was created by American DJ and producer Dave Nada (born David Villeagas) in Washington, D.C., in the fall of 2010. Musically, moombahton is essentially Dutch house or electro house at the tempo of reggaeton (usually 108- 112 beats per minute) with reggaeton influenced drum and percussion elements. Other features include "thick basslines, dramatic buildups, a two-step pulse, and quick drum fills."

And there goes your credibility. Can you hear it zipping away?

Agreed, Tool is a terrible group...but I think their names fits them quite well.

I met a trippony wearing vans, 501's...

Actually that song is really fitting now that I think about it.

  >>10046
No I really can't. I've seen your posts on here and half the time you act like a completely obnoxious douche. Not to mention it's incredibly disconcerting that you completely disregard my argument because of my taste in progressive rock. Logic has nothing to do with your musical taste. Stop judging people's intelligence by what bands they listen to or how similarly they draw their arbitrary lines between genres in comparison to yours.

Look up a little piece called Aurora Awakes on youtube. Here, in fact I'll post it here for you. The composer of this piece, John Mackey, is an example of a very very successful musician. He's won many awards for this beautiful piece alone, and even more for some of his less popular compositions. Guess who his favorite band is?

Tool.

By your logic, his apparent credibility should be zipping away just like mine. Is it?

>>10053
The only reason I was anon was because I was posting from my phone and I forgot to punch in my name.

>>10075
I rather enjoy Maynard. Mostly Opiate through Ænima, I'm actually not real big on the stuff since Ænima to be honest.

But lots of great songs between Opiate, Undertow, and Ænima. Still remember the lyrics to most *lol*
