The only place I've heard this kind-of hip hop is blasting from these cars that drive down streets really slowly at night in Brooklyn just blasting this weird kind-of hip-hop. It's dark and slow-mid-tempo and kinda spooky, and talking about death and darkness and other night kinda shit. What is this?
― burt_stanton, Sunday, 30 November 2008 05:29 (fifteen years ago) link

really bass heavy. one car's at the night and I can feel the bass in my apartment

Earlier today I was thinking about starting a thread dedicated to begging forgiveness for your worst three threads of all time. I thought we could all admit that we had created some truly shitty threads, offer them up, admit we were fools, and move on. However, I realized that I would get zinged for starting a thread that deserved to be included in a "my worst three threads" list. I decided against it.
In memory of a thread dedicated to bad threads that never was, I respect what's going on here, and I can picture the really long link to this thread being copied and pasted into my imaginary "beg for forgiveness" thread

For which we should all be eternally fucking grateful. I liked a fair amount of stuff on WordSound back at the end of the '90s, but dubstep is bullshit.

Sounds to me like Cumbia Rebajada which is like Cumbia slowed down by cough syrup or something like that. There's this Monterrey guy, who happens to be friends with Diplo, named Toy Selectah. He went to London and did an appearance with Sinden at Kiss FM about two months ago. He mixes this slowed cumbia sounds with reggaeton and makes some other beats that he calls Raverton. He's remixed loads of stuff, latin stuff mainly. Got get some of this remixes from his side project's website @ sonideronacional.com/blog/

I've spent a fair amount of time trying to figure out what the original grim reapah thing was, with no luck. This new stuff sounds totally like some people had been trying to find it, too, and finally got fed up and said "if we can't find it, let's MAKE it".
