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

[Guess Who]

Hip hop has stopped innovating so it just feels like all the new music sounds like the old music so it’s hard to keep going back to that well.

So I been branching out…

I always listened to all types of genres excluding Country tbh. I'll always be a hip hop head though even though I don't mess with most newer rap.

Not sure if it counts as "EDM" but I'm a huge fan of trip hop, nu disco, and broken beat.

I was listening to this a few weeks back

 

[King Ming]

Only listen to 90-2000s hip hop

I got a couple of hip hop playlists on my Spotify, mostly old shyt and some new shyt mixed in. Most of my music is guitar based blues, funk, and reggae. Lately I've been messing with dream pop just to experiment. I got me a Chorus CE-2W pedal and an Avalanche Run pedal which does jazzy/dream pop/ambient chords really well. Also copped an Axe I/O Solo with Amplitube DAW and another console app, after procrastinating for so long I'm finally moving on to record my shyt. I'm moving towards being an old head, so hip hop doesn't move me the way it used to.






You got a playlist breh? Put me on.

I have several on spotify but most of them is mixed with songs from every genre

what i'm saying about #5 is sound design and synthesis is a huge part of electronic music compared to hip hop. That was a different thing that i didn't really know about when i mostly listened to hip hop comparably to electronic music.
Sure, you can synthesize your drums and other sounds in hip hop, but bass sound design? LFO modulation? Frequency modulation? that's not really prevalent in hip hop, and if it is, it isn't exactly recognized as "hip hop".

IDK
Samiyam, FlyLo etc. all incorporated sound design into their Hip-Hop (and of course FlyLo would go well past that...)

I'd just do whatever I like sonically with all kinds of sound design and ignore what OTHER PEOPLE think, as long as fits
within a Hip-Hop context.

Not just that but I'm really moved by colorful voicings, dope progressions and interesting harmonic/melodic ideas over
Hip-Hop beats.
Dudes like Alfa Mist or Robert Glasper are

I think we're just looking at this fundamentally different, which is fine

Amplitube is gang.

I run my bass and strat straight into the sound card.
Add the Chorus + Reverb and

How is the Axe-IO ? I usually run my Multi-Fx straight into the sound card when I want effects like Wah
but if the Axe-IO is THAT GOOD, I'm going to go ahead and cop one.

 

[xCivicx]

[#BOTHSIDES]

I listen to more rnb, old school, foreign music now. Mostly because hiphop content is so negative

I’ve always enjoyed electronic music as one of my favorite genres, especially techno, left field strains of house, more tuneful styles of downtempo/ambient and some breakbeat based genres like drum & bass and garage music. Right next to R&B, jazz, alternative/avant garde, African music, reggae and Afro-Cuban music, electronic is always something I go back to.

I’ve been listening to Jlin’s Black Origami and lots of Charlotte De Witte’s mixes, like my life depends on it. Also, a lot of the big classic artists like Goldie, Burial, Carl Craig, Bjork, Nicolette, Underworld, FSOL, Orbital and Andrea Parker.

Electronic music is such a rich and varied field. So many genres and weird sounds! Hip hop and electronic music play off of each other. The focus on sound design, sampling and playing off of weird new technologies is so dope to me.

Anyhow, I’ll never give up on hip hop. Artists like MIKE, Jpegmafia, Baby Tate, Vince Staples, Rico Nasty, JID, Kendrick, etc will always keep me interested in rap/hip hop. Electronic music is cool too and probably will provide the foundation and template for the next black musical powerhouse genre.

Just throw this on and your good to go. Also, DJ Woogie has a mixtape series called "club nights" that are pretty good especially if your into the more pop sounding EDM .
