Hey hip-hop nerds. What kind-of hip-hop is this?

Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed

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

one just went by. "grim reapah!" burbbhrbhbbhbburbbb. and sometimes like there's this kinda reggae dub sorta beat

burt_stanton, Sunday, 30 November 2008 05:30 (fifteen years ago) link

the intro to Thriller

Indiespace Administratester (Hurting 2), Sunday, 30 November 2008 05:30 (fifteen years ago) link

Nah, it's this weird druggy kinda hip hop

burt_stanton, Sunday, 30 November 2008 05:31 (fifteen years ago) link

Never heard it in my life except for these cars that sometimes come one after the other after the other just blasting music, like it's what they do at night

burt_stanton, Sunday, 30 November 2008 05:31 (fifteen years ago) link

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

burt_stanton, Sunday, 30 November 2008 05:33 (fifteen years ago) link

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

RIP

I'm actually interested to know; I would like to download this music and listen to it on my way to school to get me in the mood to work.

burt_stanton, Sunday, 30 November 2008 05:39 (fifteen years ago) link

and I like your OJ Simpson reverse style "If I Did It" narrative up there.

burt_stanton, Sunday, 30 November 2008 05:40 (fifteen years ago) link

Oh, for clarification, I didn't mean YOUR worst three threads, I meant ALL OF OUR worst three threads. I have about 50 that could be seriously considered.

burt it's probably dubstep

yeah, the music sounds like this dubstep shit, but guys rapping some dark shit. "grim reapah he dont fuck with me " buhrhghbuhrhg

Well, whatever it is, it's what all the black kids in Brooklyn are listening to

Here another set come. I gotta write down the lyrics if they weren't being put so many echoey filters

burt_stanton, Sunday, 30 November 2008 07:00 (fifteen years ago) link

woah, this one car just drove by ... it sounded like one of those latino ballads or something, but it was slowed down so much and it had this drawn out echoey decay thing going on. there's some freaky shit going on outside my window

burt_stanton, Sunday, 30 November 2008 07:02 (fifteen years ago) link

Maybe it's an ICP interlude.

burt_stanton, Sunday, 30 November 2008 21:02 (fifteen years ago) link

I was pulling yer leg, but I'd be genuinely interested in finding out what this is... especially if it sounds anything like Tomb by Gatekeeper - one of the the few dubstep records I wouldn't want to be parted from.

Rombald, Sunday, 30 November 2008 21:05 (fifteen years ago) link

The music's like this weird dark reggaeton hip-hop kinda thing. Way slower and more drawn out than typical reggaeton

burt_stanton, Sunday, 30 November 2008 21:12 (fifteen years ago) link

there are some pretty creepy slow reggaeton songs.

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.

unperson, Sunday, 30 November 2008 21:37 (fifteen years ago) link

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/

If it ain't something like this i'd still like to know what the hell are we talking about,

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".
