Jazz, funk..conga music in salsa or whatever, whatever..even disco has better beats. Why do they say that hip hop/rap has good beats. I've heard hip hop enough cause they always put it at work, and it's just either very basic beats...that they change by making them fast or whatever or making them loud.. but there's nothing original or cool about them.
Then what do they mean by rap/hip hop having good beats? And by the way i'm a musician/musical person who likes to listen to how things sound and i study them. Everyday having heard hip hop and rap , i dont' see why these beats are so great?? They just pretty lame and most of the times they don't change throughout the song. it's just repetitive. In other musics they use cymbals or some kind of filling for transitions.
Why hip hop people claim hip hop has great beats, haven't they heard other music?
You have alot of fools who have not studied music trying to make music. Obviously, it will turn out bad. Like I asked a rapper the other day "what 3 notes make up a c chord?". He couldn't tell me this basic chord. These fools are all about the cash and don't care about the art, regardless of what they say.
Think about the Puff Daddy performance of "Come with Me" that featured Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) on guitar. Jimmy Page and the band accompanying him was about a 9. Puff Daddy's rapping was about a 6, and even though he was trying hard at the end you could tell he was out of place with real musicians. Dat when he decided to go into fashion.
Reply:Hip Hop does have some great beats and some amazing lyrics but at this day and age, it's hard to come by since they are almost scarcely heard over this garbage "radio rap" that's going around today. Everyone is in it for the money, and not for the art. And the people who just say "yoo this beat is sikk, check this out mann" are just followers of the herd really. They know nothing about rap, since they just started listening to the materialist crap thats out there.
Reply:A lot of the hip-hop beats i listen to are derived from jazz, funk, and soul music so they have a lot of similarities. I think i like hiphop more than these types of music is the lyrics. I like singing, but i like (good) rapping more.
Reply:I believe hip hop exist for a reason. The reason is a lot of people like it, it defines their character and their personality. Even though I do not like a lot of the hip hop music at all and I agree with every single word you say, I still think they exist to serve a certain population who love that music. By listening to what a person is listening, it is very easy for you to find out what are they thinking in their head. Since Hip Hop is always simple, loud and sometimes come with violence and sexual words, I believe those who listen to it must posses the same characteristics in their mind. I personally do not find that music suits me very well, because I cannot stand loud monotonic noises that repeats nothing but crazy ideas. However, I believe some people find other music too complicated, so we should respect their music and buy some ear plugs.
Reply:Maybe because people like what they like?
Reply:Well, Hip-Hop can have some great beats, but most of them are derived from other parts of music, which were already made. The fact of the matter is, the stuff you're listening is probably mainstream rap, which has lost its quality and is bland. Hip-hop has some AWESOME beats, but I believe you're looking in the wrong places.
Listen to underground stuff.
Reply:thats ******* it! im sick of all you stupid idiots out there who always say hip hip is so bad and the beats are bad or whatever! no matter what we say to defend it, you always find a way to put hip hop/rap down! WHY!?!?!?!?!? we NEVER criticise your music, or atleast not NEARLY as public as you do! WHY CAN'T WE BOTH HAVE OUR OWN STYLES OF MUSIC!!!!!!!!!! you can have your fancy classic whatever, and we'll have our hip hop/rap. you guys just can't except the fact that young people don't like what you used to listen to...it's not fair at all! so, in answer to your question, hip hop does have good beats, you just have to have the right ears. and seriosuly man, i would QUIT your job, seeing as if you were a "musical person" you would have open ears to ALL music. not just certain types. you're still allowed to have a favourite type, as mine is hip hop/rap, but you don't have to put down other types of music. end of discussion!
Reply:Hip hop is ****
Reply:You don't like it cause your lame!!!!!!!!!and boring!!
Reply:Some people consider a heavy and clear and easy to follow beat to be a good beat.
However, if you are a fan of intricate, complex, polyrhythmic beats, you should check out some Cuban salsa (if you haven't already) it takes salsa another step forward in terms of rhythms and their complexity including multiple changes in rhythm patterns through a single songs. I love it!
Here are some links to some videos with percussion that you might find interesting. This is all live amatuer recording but the sound quality should be good enough that you can see what I'm talking about.
Issac Delgado circa 1996 - There's a whole series of videos from this concert which are a must-see for percussionists. it is fantastic!!!!
