Know The Different Genres Of Hip Hop Artists

// January 28th, 2012 // Music

Along with gangsta rap, Hip Hop Artists has splintered into various sub genres. Crunk is a southern region type of hip-hop, with words that are generally focused on hanging out and having a fun time. Crunk hip hop artists often shout their lyrics over a somewhat slower beat. There are also Christian hip hop groups, grime groups that generally are available in the UK, and rap-rockers like Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park and Rage against the Machine.

In the world of music, though, a unification was taking place that somewhat was closing some of the gaps. An assortment of the synthesized, electronically-augmented descendent of disco, House music, and the complexly-influenced voice related to the cities hip hop. The true innovators of this new style may be surprising. Though the music have been filling clubs for a few years already, in 1989 American artist Tyree Cooper launched an album called “Turn up the Bass”, touting it as the first of the House and Hip Hop blend. This claim triggered controversy with a group in the UK known as The Beatmasters. This argument rose to the level of musical battle as other groups began clamouring for the credit, sometimes including insulting recommendations to the original disagreement in their words.

Another artist, Fast Eddie, found his origins in the House movement. As a DJ in 1980s Chicago, Eddie grew to become legendary when he moved his talents to production. In the late 80s he created the track “Hip House”, which began the truly popularize the genre that he described as being essentially the lyrics of Hip Hop over the beats of House. Because of the central theme of beats in Gangster Rap music, this definition can be confusing if one will not consider the specialized sound of the House music beats.

More success for the crossover genre came with the release of “It Takes Two,” collaboration between a New York producer of House music, Todd Terry, and Hip Hop group the Jungle Brothers. The Jungle Brothers were already acquainted with fusing musical styles, as they were leaders in the movement to bring back the roots of jazz and combine it with the modernized Hip Hop style. Hardcore Hip Hop lovers regarded their song “It Takes Two” as the first acceptable example of the blended genre.

In light of the impassioned discussions of hip hop artists that came about over who released the first track of mixed Street Rap and House music, the answer recognized by many musical historians is actually humorous. The earliest manipulation of mainstream pop music into the high-energy pulse of House music is recognized as “Holiday” by Madonna. When this transition occurred, in 1986, a sample was in the minor hit, “Holiday Rap” by MC Mike G and DJ Sven, a Dutch duo. This, as strange as it may appear, is the actual first demonstration of the combined House and Hip Hop style. Now, with the rise of applications such as DUB turbo, talented youth are turning into the Hip Hop artists of today.
