I would even go as far as to say that....most of what you listed would go under alternative hip hop if anything but it's not pure hip hop

Hip Hop to me is more about the fundamentals....Dj'ing, turn tables, party type songs everything that is being exhibited in that video. It isn't limited to party tracks though. Hip Hop extends to gangsta, hardcore and heavy bass tracks as well. great sampling here this is hip hop to me i think you get my point now with these examples. |
I think my initial post was misunderstood anyway. I didn't mean simply the backing music, but the genre itself - which is defined primarily by it's center, the vocal technique of rapping. But there's more to hip hop than rapping. You wouldn't call that Dylan song posted earlier hip hop would you? It's an asthetic and culture yes, but it also has a sound that makes it distinct from other styles of music which incorporate rapping, as was brought out.
Sampling is one defining characteristic, which is likely why the genre is so varied to begin with... There are others too but I'm on my iPhone abd typing on it sucks haha. |

Since you specifically mentioned turntablism, I think that's an important and interesting thing to address. Back in the 80s it was definitely an essential part of hip hop but things have really changed a lot in the subsequent decades. Just like the saxophone was once a staple of rock music but lost its prominence as the decades went on, I feel like turntablism has become more and of a niche thing in hip hop over the years. It's still a significant piece of the puzzle but I'd say it's no longer one of the defining characteristics of the genre. |
