The document also discusses the origins and evolution of hip hop music and how certain artists like Tupac used their music to speak about social issues.
Popular music originated between 1800 and 1950 and appeals to mainstream audiences. It includes a wide range of genres from vaudeville to heavy metal. One consistent element is the pop song structure of verse and chorus.
Popular music genres discussed include ballads, standards, rock and roll, alternative music, and disco. Ballads have a slow tempo and romantic emotion. Standards originated from Broadway and Hollywood in the 1910s. Rock and roll combines genres like blues and country. Alternative music emerged from punk rock and has influences from various genres. Disco has a prominent bass line and is dance-oriented.
Run-DMC and Afrika Bambaataa were early pioneers of hip hop music in the Bronx in the 1970s-1980s. They helped establish hip hop music and culture through innovations like DJing, breakdancing, graffiti art, and blending musical styles. Record labels like Sugar Hill Records and Def Jam Recordings were also important in the early development and commercial success of hip hop. Pioneers like Russell Simmons through Def Jam helped bring hip hop from the Bronx to mainstream audiences through signing influential artists.
This document discusses several music genres including hard rock, punk rock, jazz, hip hop, pop, and classical/art music traditions. It provides brief descriptions of each genre, noting characteristics such as instrumentation, vocal styles, origins, and evolution over time. Hard rock is described as using distorted electric guitars and aggressive sounds. Punk rock emerged in the 1970s as a stripped-down, fast, and hard-edged genre. Jazz originated in the early 20th century combining European harmony with African musical traditions. Hip hop consists of rapping or rhythmic speech over instrumentation. Pop music has its roots in rock and roll from the 1950s. Classical/art music includes genres like opera.
The document provides an overview of different types of music including art and music, kinds of modern music like jazz, R&B, soul, rock and roll, pop, dance music. It also discusses influences of jazz on modern music, funny stories about music, and thoughts about music from various philosophers and musicians.
The document contains reviews of albums by three different bands:
1) The McKenzies album "Unfold" is praised for its beautiful songs with contrasting guitar and piano sounds and soft vocals that create a magical feeling.
2) Bullet For My Valentine's "Scream Aim Fire" combines elements of metal, screamo, and power ballads but would benefit from focusing less on broad appeal.
3) Cory Morrow's "Vagrants & Kings" has some strong tracks but is overall average compared to his previous work, with songs that feel too muted and safe.
American folk music developed from a variety of genres including country, gospel, blues, and other styles brought by immigrants. These "roots" genres influenced later styles like rock and roll. The Great Depression and Dust Bowl era helped spread folk styles to cities. In the 1950s, folk music influenced and blended with new genres like pop, rockabilly, and soul. Rock and roll emerged from a combination of blues, country, jazz and gospel in the 1940s-50s, developing electric guitars and backbeats. Hip hop emerged from Latin and African American communities in New York in the late 1960s-early 1970s, combining MC rapping, DJing, breakdancing and graffiti.
YAWN is an indie psychedelic band from Chicago. The four friends formed the band seven years ago and have created their own DIY scene in the city. They found an abandoned warehouse that was formerly used by the metal band Disturbed, which they converted into their recording and living space called FeelTrip Studios.

Essay on History of Rap
History of Rap
The most popular and influential form of African American pop music of the 1980 s and 1990 s, rap is also one of the most controversial styles of the rock era. And not just among the guardians of cultural taste and purity that have always been counted among rock n roll s chief enemies Black, White, rock and soul audiences continue to fiercely debate the musical and social merits of rap, whose most radical innovations subverted many of the musical and cultural tenets upon which rock was built. Antecedents of rap are easy to find in rock with other kinds of music. Music is often used to tell a story, often with spoken rhymes over instruments and rhythms. Talking blues, spoken passages of sanctified prose in gospel,...show more content...Jamaican DJ s (DJ Kool Herc has been credited as the first) mixed sounds from several turntables, devices that would become a rap trademark. Although mixing from large sounds systems began to be employed at New York house parties in the 1970s, it didn t really emerge as a recorded sound until the Sugarhill Gang s Rapper s Delight in 1979. While many critics and listeners shrugged the song aside as a fluke novelty hit, the early rap sound usually composed of slangy, boastful spoken rhymes over basic bass and percussion grooves continued to spread in the early 80s, due in large part to the efforts of the Sugarhill label itself. Grandmaster Flash s hard hitting 1982 single, The Message, really stands as rap s watershed mark, with a massive impact belied by its relatively modest peak on the pop charts. No longer could rap be ignored as a frivolous microgenre; here was straight up social commentary, reporting f
The document summarizes the origins and evolution of hip hop music from the 1970s through the 1990s. It describes how hip hop emerged from block parties in the Bronx as DJs played music and MCs rhymed over breakbeats. Early styles included rapping, breakdancing, graffiti art, and DJing. Recording brought hip hop to wider audiences. The genre diversified geographically and stylistically with developments like gangsta rap in LA and new school rap in NY. Mainstream success followed but also tensions, like the East Coast-West Coast rivalry of the mid-1990s. Throughout, hip hop provided African Americans an outlet for self-expression in response to social issues.
Pop music emerged in the 1960s in the US and UK, influenced by rock and roll, blues, folk, and country music. It focuses on short, danceable songs about love and relationships. The author discusses their favorite pop group, Little Mix, who won the UK version of The X Factor in 2011. Rap music developed in the late 1970s from DJs and was characterized by rhythmic backing and boastful rhyming lyrics. The author discusses influential rapper Tupac Shakur. Rock music emerged in the 1950s in the US and later diversified into many subgenres like psychedelic rock and folk rock, sometimes blending with other genres.

2. The fastest growing sound in North
America has superstars, a slew of
hungry, scene-jumping adopters and a
whole host of questionable social
issues to go with it.
Real trap shit?
3. "Trap is the new dubstep." That's a
phrase I've heard bandied around
more and more lately, and while it's
not an entirely accurate comparison,
it's not off the mark either. Deļ¬ned by
its rigid formula of frantic 808 worship
and bombastic basslines, it's been
latched onto by largely the same
audiences that have been eating up
American dubstep and moombahton
over the past few years. Put simply,
trap is one of the fastest growing
sounds in North America.
Chances are, whether you know it or
not, you've come across it in some
form. Everyone from underground
heads to mainstream dubstep DJs are
throwing those skittery snares
underneath, well, everything. And, like
any genre that has emerged in the
past few years, it has its bona ļ¬de
stars like Baauer and Flosstradamus,
a slew of hungry, scene-jumping
adopters and a whole host of
questionable social issues to go with
it.
"Trap" is hip-hop slang for a crack house, and is often traced back to Atlanta. It certainly
got more popular off the back off American rapper T.I.'s Trap Muzik album in 2003, but
some ascribe its origins even further back to artists like Three 6 Maļ¬a and Houston's DJ
Screw. The latter artist pioneered the psychedelic, ultra-slow "chopped and screwed"
effect, in which he slowed down tracks to accentuate trippy time-stretched snares and
hats. Meanwhile, the southern rap that emerged in the wake of the Outkast boom in the
early 2000s was colourful, synth-heavy and bombastic, a tradition that lives on in trap.
But arguably the most direct progenitor to what's at hand in 2012 is young Virginia
producer Lex Luger.
Responsible for Waka Flocka Fame's 2010 rap anthem "Hard in da Paint" and a number
of other hits for prominent rappers in the past two years, particularly Three 6 Maļ¬a's
Juicy J, Luger's productions are almost a caricature in their maximalism. The danceable
groundwork for these tracks is laid by enormous bass thuds and cheap, snarling synth
horns, like a satanic Mannie Fresh. Luger's productions fast became a staple in DJ sets
around the world, from innumerable American acts to UK DJs like Rustie, Hudson
Mohawke and Oneman. They were also widely imitated. Clearly Luger had tapped into
something. "This is something like the culmination of years and years of hip-hop... and
dance music came together. It didn't happen because someone had a master plan, it just
happened naturally," claimed Mad Decent associate Dirty South Joe in a recent
documentary called Certiļ¬ed Trap.
"The ļ¬rst real indicator that this was more than just the casual incorporation of a few
drums was when Flosstradamus released their remix of Major Lazer's 'Original Don' early
this year," says Matt Owchar, a DJ and promoter in Vancouver. He runs a night called
#FVDED, a weekly dubstep-cum-trap night that incorporates trap's imagery and
sloganeering in its promotions and has booked a number of bigger trap DJs. "It didn't
really hit home... until SXSW [2012]. My whole perception of the SXSW experience was
guided by the idea of ļ¬nding the 'next hot shit,' as a DJ and talent buyer. Within a day of
being there I think I heard that remix about ļ¬ve times in one day. Guys like Salva, Lunice
5. Baauer
And of course, there's Baauer. Though
in my review of "Harlem Shake" earlier
this year I questioned the track's
substance and worthiness as an
anthem, there's no denying that the
young producer has a formidable grip
on dynamics, tension and sound
design. Others have noticedāeven
Hyperdub boss Kode9 has been heard
playing his tracks lately. In addition to
"Harlem Shake" on Jeffree's (a Mad
Decent sublabel that has become a
trap outpost of sorts), he's recently
released a 12-inch on LuckyMe with
tracks that see him exploring the
buffed textures of Hudson Mohawke
and Lunice to powerful effect.
"I don't think you can credibly have a
discussion about this whole 'trap' thing
without talking about 'Harlem Shake,'"
says Owchar. He's right. It became
one of the year's most ubiquitous
tracks shortly after appearing on
Rustie's Essential Mix in April. Its
appeal is simple: a cartoonish horn riff
honks over pooling quakes of low-end,
seizing on the hypnotically repetitive
basslines that make Lex Luger's tracks so ļ¬oor-friendly. In its wake, mainstream-baiting
DJs like Dillon Francis, Mimosa and others have all started incorporating trap originals,
as well as countless bootleg remixes (highlights this writer has heard so far: Darude's
"Sandstorm" and Pink Floyd's "Money") which underline the formulaic and gimmick-
driven underbelly of the sound. The glut of trap edits mirrors the wave of unofļ¬cial
"dubstep remixes" that were ubiquitous two years ago.
I recently made the pilgrimage to #FVDED for one of their biggest nights yet, a double-
header of Baauer and Uz that had a nightclub near-capacity on a Wednesday night.
That's not always an easy thing to do in Vancouver. Waiting in the extremely long line put
me privy to a number of conversations in the vicinity, college-age kids discussing their
favourite dubstep tracks; who belonged in the trap sphere; who was dubstep and so
forth. The opening DJs, Expendable Youth (a duo that includes Owchar) played a
blistering set of trap beats mixed seamlessly with the harshest, squelchiest of dubstep,
and Uz mixed his jackhammer throb in with deafening electro house. The aggressive
audience moshed and jumped to the music in much the same fashion as I've witnessed
at mainstream dubstep shows, signaling that the mentality behind trap is much the same:
mindless, physically punishing dance music.
Trap exists in the UK as well, though it's often taken on a different form. UK artists seem
more content to fold in elements of hip-hop into their productions while retaining their
own distinct personalities. This creates a parallel wave of music that's not quite trap but
shares its stylistic and rhythmic signiļ¬ers. Rustie's Glass Swords was labeled UK bass by
many, but listen closely to a track like "City Star" and it's essentially southern hip-hop,
snares jiggling like gelatinous blobs with loud, obnoxious horns. Meanwhile, former Vex'd
member Kuedo released his ļ¬rst full-length Severant, an elegiac and contemplative synth
album heavily informed by John Carpenter and Vangelis, but draped with hyperactive
trap-rap snares throughout. While neither of these records are trap, both are sonically
sympathetic with the movement.
6. TNGHT
Meanwhile, Warp signee Hudson Mohawke has teamed up with Montreal's Lunice (a
fellow member of Glasgow's colourful LuckyMe crew) to begin the TNGHT project, which
this year released an EP of larger-than-life anthems with a self-proclaimed goal to make
beats for actual rappers. The release was easily one of 2012's most hotly anticipated,
and its tracks have been in heavy rotation for all manner of DJs. Its genre-crossing
reception has pushed trap even further into the spotlight. And so did their "Mission
Statement" mix earlier this year. Labelled "trap-rave," it featured plenty of their own
productions mixed with like-minded tracks from Chief Keef, Waka Flocka Flame and
several other artists whose styles of hip-hop have contributed to the rise of trap.
Any emergent genre is full of inevitable bandwagoners, yet trap seems deļ¬ned by it
rather than merely affected by it. This is even more of an "internet genre" than dubstep or
moombahton, music popularized through Twitter and SoundCloud. As a result, most of
the people making and enjoying it have no real connection with the original trap-rap
sceneāeven though they gladly utilize its violent tropes. "A lot of these kids genuinely
love straight-up trap music, they're just expressing that enthusiasm for it in a way that
relates to themāa joyful, partying, affectionately ironic way... the appropriation issues
can be viewed more like unfortunate byproducts of meta-modern kids being inspired by
something outside of their direct world, the same impulse which drives this generation's
identity-deļ¬ning tools such as Tumblr," explains Jamie Teasdale, who produces as
Kuedo.
7. Irony is as big a
part of trap at this
point as the snares.
It's hard to tell
what's supposed to
be serious and
what's merely
humour:
Machinedrum has
been beginning his
sets with the
plodding "TRAP
FUNERAL," a track
that intones "trap"
repeatedly to a
funeral march
melody. He also
recently uploaded a
"trap remix" of the Batman theme, a 2-second track consisting of a single Trapaholics
sample. The jokes are made all the more confusing by the fact that you're bound to hear
stuff you could conceivably call trap in his DJ sets anyway.
Part of what makes trap so objectionable in the eyes of some is its appropriation for
populist ends. What made the original trap so gripping was its gritty drama, its "realness."
"[Trap now is] largely a middle class movement that has borrowed not only the musical
devices of that form, but also taken the cultural symbols, including the name itself...
[which is] intensely problematic," explains Teasdale. "They're appropriating social
references totally alien to them, sampling lyrics about crack houses, machine gun ļ¬re,
and most of all, the name of the music itself. Crack house music. That's the thing that's
bugging people."
The proliferation of artists and entities operating under the trap banner means that some
are already quick to distance themselves. "I'm not communicating with this EDM-trap
scene at all," says Teasdale, "yet people are beginning to assume I'm a part of it. That's
jeopardizing my ability to play the rap music I love, as to do so would be seen as
participating in this self-organizing EDM-trap scene. I'm never going to be a consensual
member of it. It now refers to a college party soundtrack, one that's very close to being a
successor to brostep."
The sudden ubiquity of trap mirrors the appearance of wobble-heavy, tear-out dubstep a
few years ago. And, with it, the building up of barriers between the "good" and the "bad,"
the "original" and the "new" has been equally as quick. It's impossible to say whether the
rapidly-swelling bubble will burst or maintain, but the growing backlash by both fans and
artists alike is telling. "A great deal of this music is very good, and the best tracks totally
deserve all the plays and celebration they've received," Teasdale begins, "and people like
TNGHT have good and fully informed artistic intentions. They're not trying to create this
scene. It's just unfortunate that those who are wishing to create a genre [around trap]
haven't been more sensitive to the social issues nested around it."

From a genre synthesis perspective I don't think there's much wrong with the
blend. I feel kind of queasy though about real hip hop and rap being "re-
contextualized" into party music for mostly white dudes. You can call it musical
inspiration, but it's bigger than that...cherry-picking elements of a gangsta rap
culture that you think are chill without paying any notice to their larger cultural
framework or where it came from is appropriation...which isn't "sampling"...it's
stealing.
also,
what's wrong with new, sub and interrelating genres of music? surely like art, it is
in constant developement and reinvention.some people need to chill and broaden
their perspective.
..
social issues subject is stupid. Why do some people get so touchy and
pretentious? Inspiration and roots can come from anything. A lot of good stuff
comes from dark and unpleasant backgrounds.
Also, there seems to be a lot of hypocrisy around the alikness and repetitiveness
within trap music. House music is so repetitive, and sometimes throughout a set
the rhythms/beats barely shift. yet I don't see people being so anti house.
great article, also the graļ¬x looks hot and unique, thanks for the effort!
I did a 15 minutes Trap Video Mix,
maybe you guys can check it and let me know how you like it :-)
Thanks

question it's substance and sustainability
