Nigga Bass

Nigga Bass is a term used to describe a type of bass that is characterized by frequencies centered in the 50-80hz region. The bass is also of a high Q variety and tends to linger past the initial note. This causes the infamous boominess that travels well beyond one's car stereo (the traditional domain of nigga bass) and into surrounding vehicles. Nigga bass has these characteristics because cheap low quality equipment can recreate the boominess.

In other words, nigga bass is sloppy, "one-note," uncontrolled bass.

Nigga bass is very common in R&B, Rap, Hip-hop, and some of the more recent pop music, especially the type enjoyed by preteens and tweens.

Future Bass

A genre of electronic music involving but not limited to:
1) filtered/modulated saw synths that can be detuned, with gliding pitch, with multiple voices to make it that crispy supersaw frequently used by Flume and Illenium. This can be used for chords, plucks, or leads.

2) Brassy sounds for synths or bass. Just make sure it's detuned and glidey.
3) Arpeggiated plucks for accompaniment.

4) Reese bass or some other detuned, low-passed bass. Often 808's.

5) Trap-influenced drums/percussion with toms dispersed with the kicks and snares. Impacts can help with the impact of the drop.

6) BPM 90-160. Usually between 90 and 130. The higher ranges are often associated with future bass sub-genres like Kawaii Future Bass or future trap.

7) White noise and heavy buildup with cutoffs opening up leading to drop.

9) Very focused on melody and chords.

10) Can have vocalists but not necessary. Can even have rappers.
Me: Bruh, you shoulda been at that concert. The crowd banged to that future bass Flume drop.

Boss: Oh did they? Well how about I bang you out of this job for being absent all week long!

drum and bass

Not mindless noise at all, as Burkey tries to claim. The basic premise is pattern based loops put over drum loops, but instead of your regular 4/4 um-tiss-um-tiss drums, it's set over the more flowing breakbeat format. The term drum and bass defines the predominent sounds you get: drums and bass are the sounds that are more predominent. It sticks wit a simple-but-effective motive towards melodies (or basslines is the case of dnb) but the complexity comes in the production of these sounds. The general rule for the sounds are bigger and badder is better, but depending on the style (there are also liquid and more ambient styles) this is also not the case. For those chart-dwellers who aren't quite sure of what this music is like, if you can refer back a few years when a few artists broke through (shy fx & t power, roni size, goldie and pendulum more recently) thats the kind of premise it follows, but that's only the surface of what is such a varied genre of music.to understand this music and to listen to the best, look for the artists in my examples.
Andy C, DJ Hype, Mampi Swift, DJ Hazard, Friction, Drumsound and Bassline Smith, DJ Fresh, Roni Size, Goldie, DJ Marky, Zinc, Chase and Status, LTJ Bukem, Brockie, Ed Rush & Optical, Sub Focus, Loxy, Ink, Noisia to name but a few Drum and Bass djs/producers
