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.

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

burt_stanton, Sunday, 30 November 2008 06:27 (fifteen years ago) link

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

whatever it is, expect a diplo mix of it in about two months

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.

brightscreamer, Sunday, 30 November 2008 07:05 (fifteen years ago) link

they don't listen to that icp shit here.

Nah. Next time I'm by the Marcy Projects I'll ask the kids what the hell they're listening to these days.

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.

dudes no one is driving around brooklyn or anywhere in america playing dubstep records.

>no one is driving around brooklyn or anywhere in america playing dubstep records

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,

How much you want to bet that glenn has made a “grim reapah” genre category on spotify

It's called "scream rap". Other than not existing at the time when this question was posed, it is definitely what was being described.

heh, i kinda meant that you might've built a "burbbhrbhbbhbburbbb" category and i am just a LITTLE disappointed you haven't.... yet.

Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Saturday, 31 August 2019 16:25 (four years ago) link

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".
