What are the rap genres?

In fact, I think music is the same, so there is no obvious difference between genre and style. This is also a new album that has recently appeared. New musicians often break the genre and play rap and pop music on albums. But more listeners prefer to distinguish musicians from music by genre and style, so I will just talk about my views on various genres. Because new musicians are not as faithful to their original styles as old musicians, most of the musicians cited in this paper are old musicians.

Pop music: One of the most popular music. When it comes to this kind of music, the word "guava" and the word "vulgar" come to mind. I don't know why almost all people who like rock and roll despise people who listen to pop. But I have to admit that fashion is the most exposed in life. Although the POP style is full of endless you love me, I love you, lonely nights, silent roads ... it seems that there is no cultural background, but more often I still listen to pop because it is so common that it is full of the whole music industry. Occasionally, a few songs can be called immortal, and they are "rotten" because there are too many versions and covers. Of course, since it is called fashion, it can better express the psychology of most people and be closer to the hearts of most people.

R & ampb: A very popular school a few years ago, R&; B the full name is rhythm &;; Bruce is said to have originated from black music, and China was the first to play R&; B's musician should be Tao Zhe, who is my favorite musician. I want to know R &;; B's people only listen to his first album. Unfortunately, Tao Zhe once said in the newspaper that he wanted to be a rock musician and defined himself as rock music, which really changed in his later music, with more rock styles. But he is still China R&; The founder of B mentioned his music, which reminded me of an incident. In junior high school, Tao Zhe released her second album "I'm Fine", which contained a song called "Little Town Girl". At that time, I took this song to my music teacher, hoping that she would play it in the whole class, but the teacher said it was also called a song? Listen to this song for you. I am not a competent music teacher. As a result, this album became popular all over the world, and everyone knew that this teacher was still her "good teacher". Alas, the music teacher is square. Mention r &;; B I also have to mention a musical genius, Jay Chou. To be honest, I deeply feel that his music has completely stepped into the rock style since the third album, and even rapped a lot. Of course, there should be RAP in R & ampB, but the whole RAP is not R&; B, feeling rap and r &;; The best song combination is Tao Zhe's "Different". However, ghosts are ghosts, and the speed of a platinum record a year has to be amazing. Foreign musician R&; B style is more easily accepted by China people should be craig david, who starred in The Rise &; Autumn has always made me feel very stylish. Of course, Usher's album is also very good. There are also some unknown musicians, such as Eamon, who have albums worth listening to.

Jazz: As the ancestor of R & ampb, I subconsciously and deeply feel that it belongs to petty bourgeoisie or SOHO. In short, I always want to close my eyes when I hear the trumpet pronounced on saxophone and clarinet. Of course, listening to a song is refreshing. Once I listened to an album by COLO in one breath, but I heard the same song later. Jazz has many subtle differences, such as rock music, pop music, cold jazz and so on. It is uncertain whether these styles are divided according to the current genre or historical period. In short, it sounds astringent, strange and quiet, as if it is out of tune, and it is jazz with a turning point.

Soul music: a melancholy tune hummed by a woman should be regarded as soul music, which is basically separated from jazz, but the instrument has changed from jazz to a more modern and electronic soundtrack. Enya should be regarded as a representative figure here, but more people classify her as a new era genre, probably because they think that many parts of her music are not sung. There is a musician in this genre, Meav, and I like him very much.

Funk: a kind of black music with strong musicality and rhythm. It uses more discordant chords and scales, which is very distinctive. A famous musician should be a prince. I have to say a few words when I mention Prince. This man should be regarded as a genius. As far as I know, his album covers many genres, from FUNK to POP to early rap. He was also an electronic musician, which influenced the early DJ in China. His original "prince" was well known to early DJs.

New era: I don't know whether the new era should include MIDI or MIDI should include the new era. In short, it's the first time I've heard MIDI music, but now everyone has mentioned that most music genres are still NEWAGE style, so I'll just say NEWAGE here. This kind of music should appear in the DEMO of major radio stations before it becomes popular. Many hosts like to use some NEWAGE songs as background music, which is an imitation of classical plots and can be accepted by most people. Personally, I think the purest NEWAGE should not be sung, that is, it is all music. The representative figure should be YANI, who often tries to create a magnificent momentum by combining symphony-style big bands with pop music and classical musical instruments. Bandari, on the other hand, is closer to nature, and birds can often be heard in running water. There is a mysterious circle, which is closer to classical style. George winston is the acme of electric piano. I believe his adaptation of Canon in D is well known.

HIP-HOP: In my impression, HIP-HOP should be a cultural term, and there is a song style called RAP, but now more people directly define some songs as HIP-HOP, so it is better to call RAP directly than to use English, so it is feasible whether hip-hop includes RAP or rap includes HIP-HOP. In fact, there is a misunderstanding that as long as the beat is between 90 and 120, everyone says it is called rap. In fact, there are many branches of real rap, and they are different because of different regions. It includes:

The East Coast rap is fierce and sharp, and the performance is exciting and wild. The representative figures are: Run-D.M.C and public enemy.

West coast rap, most of its words are visual, and it inherits most of the traditional singing methods. Representative: I mentioned this band and their concert with Fred in the vice city. Eminem, the dog of De Snoopy, is excellent. I have a DVD of their concert.

Hard-core rap Hard-core rap: It is a kind of Hip-Hop, which is a more powerful musical form in rap. It breaks the previous forms of rap and dance music, and is more destructive and inflammatory. Its background is always accompanied by weakened drums, and most of the lyrics reflect the way of thinking that runs counter to society or is different from ordinary people. Representatives are: Northwest China, DMX.

Gangsta Rap: it is a kind of rap, which is mostly related to urban crime and full of violence and lust. Representative: Eminem (I'm not sure whether Eminem is or not, but personally I think it should be included) mentioned Eminem, who is my favorite rapper. The ultimate combination of music, sound and lyrics has a sense of release. Although he is white, according to the rap world, white is not white, but he is the most famous singer in the rap world. Dr. DRE, he is Eminem's master. Snoopy Dog has also released many albums, but one can be found in China, which is still new. His style has its own unique flavor, with a slightly teasing tone.

In addition, rap also includes several small sub-genres. I only heard the genre name, but I didn't hear the original sound, so I won't mention it.

Electronics: electronic music, mainly due to the rise of DJ, is a kind of electronic synthetic analog music. I once had a rough understanding of the simplicity of getting started. As long as you have a computer with COOL EDIT PRO in it, you can make it yourself. There are many branches, such as environmental music, experimental electronics, industrial electronics, trance electronics and so on. I don't listen to much music of this style, so I can't make a detailed evaluation. However, two artists have to mention that one is German DJ SHADOW and the other is American MOBI. Both DJs are very famous figures in the world, especially DJ SHADOW, who often washes dishes on the spot during performances and has a certain understanding of the original songs.

Finally, let me talk about an important part of the music industry-ROCK music. Because the genre of rock and roll is the most difficult to distinguish, so I put it at the end to evaluate.

Brit-Pop: Although there is the word "Pop", it is actually a kind of rock and roll, and it is more used to being called britpop. The music style is fresh and smooth, the rhythm is light and the melody is pleasant. Listen to a style I like very much in the early days of rock and roll. The representative figures are BLUR, my favorite English band, a song, a coffee and TV, all of which are the acme of English style, and Oasis Oasis band. Modern coldplay will attract your band for the first time. The first two albums were very attractive, and the third album was rubbish.

Jungle: Jungle is a more complex and powerful beat, and sometimes some rap and even electronic components are added. Representative: Le GORILLAZ of BLUR lead singer organization is the representative of this style. A little hip-hop.

Goth: Goth, a mysterious and dark weird music, is said to have developed from post-punk, with Manson as its representative. A friend of mine likes him very much. I listened to the music strangely, but I don't like this man who plays with women's fake eyes at all. He was also assigned to industrial rock.

Punk: Punk, people wearing Che Guevara vests can be seen in the street every day. They are punk fans. Some people say that punk is dead, I don't know, I only know that it lacks culture. Sex pistols (sex pistols), the representative figures, are sex pistols. I listened to five of their albums at most, and I felt a tune from the second one.

Post-punk: Post-punk, a musical style that originated in Britain in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Never heard of it. Its representative figure is cure.

Metal: The popular metal music now is a lot of metal music. Linkin Park's Avril Lavigne (now some people say that she is a punk style, but when she debuted, she was a metal style) is actually divided into heavy metals, black metals, gothic metals, new metals and so on. Among them, Linkin Park, p.o.d and other most popular new gold metals are among them.

I said all the music I know in one breath. It's definitely not all, only what I know. Of course, there are many things I haven't heard, but most of them are still the styles I have heard.
