Jazz rap – The Exceptional Hip Hop Rap Sub-genre Author: Luke Thomsen The blend of the ‘yesterday-style’ with the ‘today-trends’ is called Jazz. Jazz-rap is hence, a fusion of the early hip hop African-American music and the present day prominent musical formats. The word ‘Jazz’, which was earlier also written as “Jass”, was first reportedly used for music in Chicago, in 1915. This musical style originated in the early 20th century as a confluence of African-American tradition and the European musical traditions. The form has always evolved and incorporated the ‘present’. Jazz rap is specifically a hip-hop subgenre which has evolved through the late 1980s and early 1990s. The music is influenced by hip hop rap beats while the lyrics are sung out in a rap-style. The distinguishing factor here is the type of content in this sub-genre and the musical instruments used. The lyrics are often Afrocentric; laying emphasis on the importance of African people. They themes also follow po

Hip House and the Hip Hop Jives Author: Luke Thomsen The first element that livens up any party-evening is the pop-rap music and the beats to which you dance. A party without music is almost close to impossible but not just any music will work to make your gettogether a hit! You need the right hip hop music to make your world rock and to get your people on the floor. Initially it started with House music. House music became popular in the early 1980’s; around the same time when early hip hop was emerging. The discos began to play-it-on in the Latin and African American communities. Since things with universal appeal don’t often take time to travel, the genre also spread widely reaching Europe very soon from Chicago, where it started. There has been much debate on how the name “ House” came into existence… some believe it was the “warehouse” effect since they played it hard and often or because the artists made the music on their own, in their homes; but there is no certain answer

Akon blame it on me - Some hip hop songs are a class apart

Who says that hip-hop is only about physicality or only about fun? Well,
it’s just like talking and sometimes you just want to hear … even if it isn’t

Akon blame it on me - Some hip hop songs are a class apart Author: Luke Thomsen Who says that hip-hop is only about physicality or only about fun? Well, it’s just like talking and sometimes you just want to hear … even if it isn’t about you. The 2007 release “Sorry! Blame it on me” by Akon is one song that does that to me. The other day I read about Akon getting into the Indian Film industry, Bollywood and all of a sudden I found myself trying to recollect my most favorite-Akon-song. I browsed through You-tube and came across the “Akon-blame it on me” number and heard it all over again after so many years. What really pleases about such rap is that it’s real, it’s pleasant and it’s deep. It’s not just about you or him or anyone… it’s a story, its life and it’s an interaction. I think that is what works for hip hop music. The part where the rapper talks and the listener dances to the beats is where the interaction; connection happens. So what if it is sexual? That too is a part

Hip Hop’s young identity Author: Luke Thomsen Hip hop is a cultural representation; not only of the generation and the music, but also of the youth and its thoughts. And never before has the impact been analyzed like it is today. In an observation that Dr. S. Craig Watkins made, professor at the University of Texas-Austin, he stated that hip-hop scholarship focuses on interpreting content and culture. It’s just that the scholars, who do these researches, need to examine the effect of hip hop and rap songs and entertainment media like hip-hop culture and understand what effect it has on the youth. Whether it is just a mirror of what the youth think or whether it even influences their social identity, is what really needs to be understood. From where I look at it, it is pretty evident that these questions are interdependent. Something like, a wheel or a cycle. Gone are the days when “books were man’s best friends”. Today, in this i-pod-addicted, music-channel-viewing and disill

Five Things About Hip Hop History That You Must Know Author: Luke Thomsen In the words of KRS-One, "hip-hop is something you live, rap is something you do. " For generations now, both have been representatives of culture. If you carefully listen to the hip hop rap lyrics, you will note that it is the expression of thoughts. Perhaps, we can call it the voice of the young; an expression from time to time. Many of the singers and listeners look at hip hop lyrics as the platform to express desires and talk about the challenges that they face. The young often call it “A method to release frustrations and get on with life”. Delving into history reveals that early hip-hop music began with R&B lyrics. “Rhythm and blues” are a popular genre of African-American music, which originated in the early 40s stemming from soul and funk music to become what we call the contemporary R&B, in the 1980s. Starting only as singing, hip-hop in its own has become a language, a culture – the “hip hop cult

Rap Music – From Past to Present Author: Luke Thomsen Rap music which is ‘in’ today was not the same from the start. It originated from the West African region influenced by the praise singing and historical poetry by griots or djeli. This music style became popular in U. S. around 1970s but it was earlier termed as disco rap. This genre is sometimes deemed synonymous with Hip hop but it is not true. It has influenced hip hop music deeply and its popularity has taken a backseat, however, its subgenres have greatly developed, like Pop rap is the earlier version of hip-hop. This style has many subgenres resulting from fusions with rock, core, pop, metal like rap-opera, underground-rap, ragga, reggae-ton etc. Rap songs generally fall into one of these categories. However, the genres are vast and often, some music cannot just be confined to just one genre as it has various different elements. Rap rock is a fusion of various forms of rock with elements of hip hop, which was introdu
