Get the Elements Of Hip Hop mug.Death-hop is a blend of hip-hop, rock, hardcore punk and metal. It's a musical style which is too crude to be called metal, but too polished to be called punk. Death-hop is not to be confused with Nu-Metal, popularised briefly in the mid-late 90s.
Death-hop embraces the sound of metal bands with a non-traditional line-up more commonly seen at hip-hop shows. It is often played by two piece bands blending beats, live drums, visuals and backing loops.
Death-hop is a relatively new genre that is often confusing and alienating for fans of both metal and hip-hop. It is more generally accepted by music fans who are not easily categorised, but have a more eclectic taste in music and are willing to accept experimentation by artists. They would rather see musicians "break the mould" than "make the old."

Get the tru-skool / frat-hop mug.A music style that formed in the 80's out of reggae influence. It was forming a little bit after the rap style was formed. It borrowed the spoken type of lyrics and it had trumpet and very upbeat and stimulating rhythms.
Hip-hop is different from rap because rap is very poetic but it has a beat to keep a steady flow, (a beat as in drums or anything that makes a short sound) It (was) started/influnced with/by the James Brown song "The Big Comeback"
Hip-hop got mixed up with rap when Run-D.M.C. came in, they created songs that were a mix of both styles, such as "King of Rock", it had poetic lyrics, drums and guitar which had savory rhythm. Run-D.M.C. were very good with poetry and they used Hip-hop melodies and rap beats mixed in their songs.
Modern Hip-hop is called rap but it isn't very poetic, it is almost like 80's Hip-hop but the reggae influence has been replaced with synth, the modern "rappers" are actually Hip-hop artists but the average person calls them rappers because it is shorter than "Hip-hop artist". Out of the laziness of people to say 2 words instead of one; Hip-hop and rap have been mixed up.
Rap is dead these days and the last rappers were Run-D.M.C. and maybe Tupac.
I do not like modern Hip-hop cause the artists try to make catchy, rhyming lyrics but because they don't have poetic minds they have to slur and mispronounce words to make them rhyme. Example: the song "Throw some D's" you hear the word "caddilick" a lot. I listen to the song just to laugh at it, I am even laughing as I write this.
Hip-hop was a great upbeat style but it is now all about image, the best of modern Hip-hop is ok to me but I really liked the early Hip-hop.
