How many of y'all moved on from hip hop and into electronic music?

[pauljerico]

Listening to some Black Coffee,Kaytranada and Swedish House Mafia

I wouldn't say I left Hip Hop outside of me going to EDC Las Vegas in 2019 instead of Rolling Loud Miami . However, I listen to it more than Hip Hop now . Especially over a lot of these new rappers

Plus the Raves and Festivals Women are more openminded , especially at the dubstep shows Been talking to a number of my friends about going to Burning Man next year too

Not to mention, my city, Sacramento , has become a hotbed for shows in the past year.

Why not jump into a music genre we invented?

 

[Makavalli]

I'm one of them, only check for legacy hip hop acts these days like Nas, Lloyd Banks, etc.



This is my favorite song out right now...




Sampled a 90s classic

Bebe can catch some bipolar backshots

 

[BuckFilly]

Not i

 

[Ahadi]

Yup. But I’ll add R&B, Jazz, Alternative & country. As well.

 

[LeaveMyHairLineAlone]

 

[MasterThought]

Rap is probably only like 10% of my listening now.

I can't stomach most of the content anymore. I can barely listen to rappers even like Lamar and Cole due to the profanity and NWORD's in their music.

I've started listening to jazz heavy in the past 5 years.



I've even started listening to more and more gospel..




Southern soul music also:




Rap just doesn't do anything for my spirit. Had to move on.

Electronic music foh , I wish I would bump that trash

Even tho it’s fallen off there’s still plenty of good hip hop hus kingpin,griselda,Mach hommy,Rome streetz, rigz,tha god fahim,nas still dropping dope shyt or Tyler the creator or a boogie wit da hoodie if you like melodious music

 

[GoAggieGo.]

Nah, I don’t hear no electronic music unless at some place that plays it. I don’t seek it out. When I was in Europe they played it.

Now, I have been listening to hip hop less and less. I usually have R&B and soul playing. If I am listening to hip hop, it’s southern music from the early 2000’s and before, as well as someone like some 2pac.

 

[TheKongoEmpire]

I simply went back in time. I really look at pre-2000 rap and earlier. That said, since I'm Haitian I've been listening to kompa and zouk, and afro Colombian music, chirimía. I have stated in early 90s technopop, think Gonna Make You Sweat.

 

[Solomon Lurke]

I grew up with electronic always being somewhat present in some form. I definitely went through a period in the 2010s were I was kind of over Hip Hop and in a turning point in my life where I pretty much only listened to electronic and indie music. Over time I slowly got back into Hip Hop, but it was still just a small percentage of what I was listening to. Lately though I honestly feel like electronic had got stale to me. I did discover a lot of South African artists I really loved but lately I been back playing more Hip Hop again, mainly Cali and Detroit stuff. I just haven’t been finding alot of new edm I like but definitely about to start back searching out stuff.

 

[Ziploc]

Electronic music is the foundation for the first inception of what would become hip hop,before the term was invented. It was called space and the influence of bands like Kraftwerk,Yello orchestra, UK New wave/post punk bands made for a vast musical landscape you could pull from. That was effectively killed off by sampling legislation and a departure from the unspoken rules that encouraged artists to find new ways to be creative. House music in it's essence never abandoned those principles until the era of the superstar DJ became the vehicle to whitewash an entire genre that was basically a sibling to hip hop. I fell in love with house music in the 90s and watched it get whored out to the white boy network of DJ'S, promoters and record executives. The term underground nowadays just means white executives haven't found a way to vampire off your sound.

 

[ShaneTheRogue]

I wouldn't exactly say moved on but I do enjoy other genres of music more than hip hop. For as long as I remember actually.

 

[phcitywarrior]

I do more afrobeats, afrohouse and r&b and some other genres.

I just don’t listen to much new hip hop anymore…even at the gym I’ll run back older artists.

 

[Mowgli]

I've liked both since I was a kid. And by electronic I mean down tempo beats that sound like hip-hop instrumentals or drum n bass style . A little massive attack every blue moon. That Luther theme
