I don't know if you're aware of it, but hip hop and trance have the same root (disco music), so it's not "clearly unrelated". Hip hop is also based on loops (sometimes even more repetitive than trance) and the basic difference is the rapping in hip hop, the tempo (trance is blatantly faster) and trance uses the 4/4 more often. Apart from that, it's all electronic music and, if you didn't read the description of this forum:
If someone talks about hip hop here it's not off topic. At all. Just because the website's name is trance addict, it doesn't mean you can't talk about anything else |
word to that!
what's funny is that even in the elitist prick possé a lot of people lack a basic fundamental knowledge of electronic dance music history in technical and sociocultural terms.
it saddens me to see people on TA that think they know it all but have no clue about Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder, Brian Eno, Afrika Bombataa, Grandmaster Flash, Kevin Saunderson, Juan Atkins, Derrick May etc. i think it's fundamental to know this if you want to speak about any kind of edm with any authority. anyone with a clue would also know what Maaz stated about the shared historic roots of all of these genres that exist nowadays.
there are only a few good panelectronicists here, but they surely do know their shit.
