Guest Teddy Riley Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 What about artists who straddle the lines when it comes to their associated genres i.e....Random SOHH thread: ''Lollipop is trash and it ain't Hip-Hop''...Lollipop is trash but the chorus is too too catchy. How can girldem be singing it on the bus and I join in under my breath while in suit and tie. Depends on your opinion with Hip Hop. Ain't purist Hip Hop though it's Rap. Infamous I beg you listen to that and tell me you don't like it. It's sooo Hip Hop. I hate bars like this.I know what you mean, but you know what I meant. Maybe soulful would've been a better adjective but I don't wanna backtrackThat wasn't even a shot at you, but for me, Hip-Hop is about a RANGE of styles. That's what MC's were rated for initially. Being different. Being lyrically-driven doesn't make you MORE 'Hip-Hop' than a rapper who's more charisma-driven & vice-versa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fearless-Guy Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 At the moment, electro. There are some tunes that remind me of when i first heard grime.Overall, possibly grime, because i grew up with it and theres not a day that goes by where i wont have a catchy lyric stuck in my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jubez II Posted May 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Soulja boy is sh*tThere's nothing not sh*t about itOnce thought this untill I was at a party and crank that came on.Ultimate skanks.why isnt soulja boy HH?i dont get ithe maybe sh*t, but he is HHPeople say he isn't cause he's rappings garbage, he's not speaking about anything worth hearing, cause he's manufactured and making ringtone hip hop which is slowly sapping out everything good about Hip Hop/Rap and is a bait teenybopper.People say he is because he makes good party tracks.

manuel Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 garage, and all it's sub-genres/spin offsI f*ck*ng hate ppl that try take the piss out of garage but listen to Dubstep f*ck*ng ignorant pricks.Garage and dubstep sound nothing alike, there maybe roots there but when it comes to sounding alike, their far from it. I dont really like garage but love dubstep so.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
