since rjd2 is in fact a hiphop dj, he is easily filed under hiphop.
okay, I guess the tracks I downloaded both happened to be his least hip-hoppish ones. They were all squeals and bleeps, as I recall.
How about Cuban hip-hop? Anyone peep that?

i just picked up on hieroglyphics the other day and i was pretty damn impressed....after hearing mostly main stream rap it was kinda refreshing to see people out there with expansive vocabularies...now i'm digging for more.

well, in this day and age we're definately witnessing and experiencing first hand a revolution in music as far as electronic music is concerned. obviously hiphop has become an extremely large and extremely influencial genre of music. in the past 10 years, the sampling of hiphop music has become quite prevalant in all sorts of genres of electronic music, from the trip-hop sounds of portishead to the drum n bass sounds of hive and even out to the big beat sounds of prodigy and the chemical brothers (just for mainstream example sakes).
even moreso, we can speak of artists such as prefuse 73. now granted some of his tracks feature mc's but alot of them do not. would this actually classify him in the hiphop category or would he just be neatly placed in the ever so cluttered "idm" category (hehe, "idm", just another way of saying "wtf is this exactly?" total cop out genre).
i mean, i know alot of people place artists (who also use mc's in thier work sometimes) such as dj shadow, tricky and dj krush in the "triphop", or more commonly, the "downtempo" category but SOME people also constitute it as "hiphop" as well.
point being, theres a revolution going on right now as far as rjd2 and the likes are concerned. i would probally just lump it into the "downtempo" category on a whole since most of it is of a slower bpm like hiphop (typically ranging anywhere from 85-110 bpm). i don't neccesarly consider the actual production work by these noted artists "hiphop", but whether it is or not is really ultimately up to the listener at question.
its an odd and wonderful time for music right now with everyone and thier mom making electronic music right now since the technology required to do so is getting cheaper and more readily available for people to get thier hands on. people are being more influnced through the extreme availability of different types of music via the internet and i personally foresee some serious revolutions in the next decade. when all this happens, were gonna be asking this same question, except were gonna be saying "yes, but is it downtempo? is it idm? is it _______?"

good post.
the new Boom Bip album 'Blue eyed in the red room' is very very good. it falls almost more into the IDM catagory, but I have heard people call it hip hop.

Peruvian: Well, the irony of this, of course, is that this money, which is in the billions, is coming from your country. You see, you are the major purchaser of our national product, which is of course cocaine. Host: On one hand, you're saying the United States government is spending millions of dollars to eliminate the flow of drugs onto our streets. At the same time, we are doing business with the very same goverment that is flooding our streets with cocaine. Peruvian: Mmm-hmm, si, si. Let me show you a few other characters that are involved in this tragic comedy.

The form is dying but won't ever go away. A good analogy is how heavy metal in the late 80s became a cookie cutter clown act and everybody made the same worthless garbage. Things will turn around in a few years. In the meantime we'll just have to wait for the tide.
Cock rock isnt metal!
i'm an outsider looking in and maybe i'm talking out of my ass.feel free to tell me so.it seems like none of these guys have anything relevant to say anymore.some of the older guys like Public Enemy has good social commentary and at least had a message to their music.nowadays its all about bitches and hos,money,escalades and whatnot.and whatever happened to those goofy ass hats they used to wear?those were cool!it also seems like alot of guys arent flowing.they just talk in rhyme,if that makes any sense.im not big into hip hop/rap whatever you choose to call it but the only stuff i can tolerate is the older days with NWA,Ice Cube,Snoop Doggy Dog and older Dre.thats my two cents.let the flaming begin

obviously you need to turn the radio off, and block MTV from your program listings...I've been searching out some of the stuff from this thread and it's pretty cool.
and if I remember right, dre and snoop were all about the cars and girls, it's just that they liked 13s and not 22s back then.

my main problem is people callign rap hip hop. hip hop, at least aminstream, has gotten a lot more boy band like in my opinion. more singing than rapping.
when i want rap i want a good old style rap, with a good beat. thats ym problem with guys like eyedae. sure he can throw out good lyrics, but his beat SUCKS (in my opinion.
you need the rhyme, the rythm, the meaning, and the beat. and possibly more importantly than all, dont be too repetetive....which happens WAY too much *dmx*.
but hey at elast tehy making ya say uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh anymore man that annoyed me, to no end.
ill admit to diggin up some old cds....i was listening to redman, master p, dmx, and dre today. still liek dre, others not so much.

another thing i have been wondering. its pretty obvious that eminem is a try hard tu pac....which annoys me personally. at teh risk of sounding liek a prick does anyone else think that dre is putting him up to the whole ja rule deal? i mean, it amy not make sense to get your guys killed, but if you can keep that from happening you are going to get them all fired up putting out good or at elast popular rap and makign a killing. jsut a thought.
and whats the deal with jay z? in eminems cd encore i got the impression he got him killed....but i cant say as i really looked into it. if not, whos coffin is eminem talkign about in toy soldiers? a song which i do like btw.

i dunno, only person id consider even remotely hiphop in any of those mentioned is redman. everyone else you mentioned is pretty much rap music. this is coming from a purist point of view though.
and when i think old, i think spoonie g and jimmy spicer and shit. master p and dmx (even though the darkman x dates back to 91, im pretty sure you were listening to "its dark" or something even newer) are cats who are relatively new.

I am probably going to get banned by the forum POLICE. They say I'm spamming!!! I don't see why I can't let the Pot and Shroom community know about our CD. That shows you how free minded some of these people really are! Everybody wants to be the POLICE!!!! Well one thing Rap says that Hip-Hop does not say. And that is FUCK THE POLICE!!!! That is why we LOVE GANGSTER RAP!!!!And for the CLOWN who wants to ban me "EAT A DICK"!!!! 4 C/H

oh ya...misunderstood me. wasnt saying they were old rappers, just those are my older cds. all my pre 90's tapes have long since disappeared and ya they are more rap.
im not sure what these artists are labbeled as but i consider teh much music type "rap" to be more singy. seems any artist on tv is trying to sound like the opposite sex.
not saying thats bad, just not my bag in rap.
put on some coolio now

Rap is mad played out, its just a bunch of rich bastards with a 3rd grade education. I used to like gangsta rap and it lost its vibes when G-unit came out. I used to like Busta Rhymes and DMX and stuff, but they keep making songs featuring other faggots that suck at rhyming. Hip-Hop for me is like Non Phixion, Hieroglyphics, Souls of Mischief, Ugly Duckling, and Pharcyde. I dont know if these rappers belong to a certain categorie but its Hip and Hop enough for me.
"Where you at, the whole city behind us!" PLAYED OUT!!
