I am old enough to remember the time diss tracks came out a year apart, and it was often hard as hell to work out the chronology between disses and responses. 😅 #HipHop
🎤 Check out my new single "Shoot away the pain" on Bandcamp! It's a powerful track about overcoming struggles and addressing gun violence in the US. Give it a listen and share your thoughts!
The absolute jazz legend. Hip-hop culture would be something absolutely different without him. By far, the most sampled jazz artist by beat producers. Bob James! Legend at NPR Tiny Desk!
Super random #music question: Are there any #HipHop or #Rap musical artists people would suggest that play with horror/dark fantasy/goth-y themes?
I just realized that while I know so many other genres that cross over into horror themes (from psychobilly to hyperpop), I can't name any that are more rooted in Hip Hop, Rap, or R & B. I gotta imagine that there's someone crossing over into these themes. I mean, MF Doom did amazing things playing with superhero and fantasy, gotta imagine there's someone who has done similar with horror.
At last, some #hiphop in the #fedivision2024 ! Oh I love this so much. Great melodies, great beats, great rhymes, and Jämezytee (@Jamezytee) has something important to say.
There is absolutely no logical reason why me, a 50-something year old #hiphop head, should love this rap song by a group of Irish preteens as much as I do.
