A forked genre fused with the lyrical floetry of rap, laced with the smooth blend of hip-hop, crossed with the hard acoustic sounds of guitar and drums, creating the "rock & roll" feel. Most popular subgenres include rap rock, rap metal, and rapcore. While very similar to rap rock, Hip-Rock comes a little more smoother on the hip hop side blending the common recipe of rap and hip hop while pushing the rock aspect to the forefront to create a broader fan base. Hip-Rock is not an artist's primary genre, rather a cross-over from hip hop to to rock to create a unique product; or a collaboration with a rocker and a hip-hop artist.
When Young Chizz teamed up with his rocker to create "Zebra Music", this awesome song was not hip hop, and it wasn't rock; it was Hip-Rock!
A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
