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

Hellsing Stanton?

bummed that the time seems to have passed when an up-and-coming artist might have tried to update this sound with Future/Young Thug-type autotune gibberish. "grim reapah! bHRRHhbh BhrHRHH-HH-HBB-BBB"

does he have face tats is what we need to know

it's been almost a decade and no one has tried to call this subgenre "death trap" smdh

"grim reapah he dont fuck with me " buhrhghbuhrhg

Everything on this playlist postdates the question in this thread by several years, but if you ignore that small detail, it seems pretty close to the vibe described.

What kind of music is the hip-hopish stuff the showtime kids in the subway dance to? I feel like I asked this once in another thread but didn't get a clear answer and now I can't find it.

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

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.

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".

"grim reapah!" burbbhrbhbbhbburbbb.

and sometimes like there's this kinda reggae dub sorta beat

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

I'm telling you, those were time-travellers from now.

from your description of the music and your location I'm pretty sure these are the new Sufjan demos

Not dark, mid-tempo, and kinda spooky enough.

TS: this thread

vs

Recommendations for hip-hop without braggadocio (or these other tropes)?

how is that even a question

burbbhrbhbbhbburbbb

it's an insult to even compare the two

reapah!

I've only lived here seven years. How much longer do i have to live here to turn racist?

The collective imagination of this thread willed Drift Phonk into existence.

This thread brings me more joy than any other.

Hey I think I heard it, leaned out my window and recorded it.

Is this it?
