I wonder if that will be as much of a success as So Solid Crew was in 2004...

Makes me wonder if what's happening with hip hop now is a more defined split between club music (hyphy, snap and chart stuff) which is very producer-based, and is basically disco in some root way versus the street stuff which is obviously more rap as we know it, more MC focused, and with the mobb and trap styles getting no less violent in content...
― Jacob (Jacob), Wednesday, 14 June 2006 07:42 (seventeen years ago) link
the hyphy hitz beats sound way more mid-00s now than they did at the time. somehow i can hear a really huge neptunes influence (in the drums) that i don't recall noticing at all then, too.
― j., Saturday, 20 September 2014 03:22 (nine years ago) link
still like this ... is there a thread for posting rad hyphy tracks?

I like 40 Water but never got into this beyond the surface & it never really popped off so I don't really have an opinion on it. I like the P-Lo/The Invasion / League of Starz post-hyphy style though, less goofy (?) but the beats still bang (bang, bang)
P sure crunk decisively won the popularity wars back in the day tho lol, I mean people at my college liked "Blow the Whistle" and "Tell Me When to Go" but nowhere near how much people went nuts for "Get Low" for example. Lil Jon uber alles
― nova, Saturday, 20 September 2014 14:36 (nine years ago) link
actually nvm p sure people did go nuts to "Blow the Whistle" too. All Lil Jon tho which is kinda weird to think about & shows he was more versatile than people sometimes give him credit for (to say nothing of casual/non-rap fans who think he just yelled over shit)
― nova, Saturday, 20 September 2014 14:38 (nine years ago) link
Blow the whistle and tell me when to go ate both produced by lil jon you know

Nm xxp
blow the whistle has actually only gotten more popular as time has gone on ... it barely charted initially: http://www.complex.com/music/2014/05/how-did-blow-the-whistle-become-hyphys-biggest-anthem

really forward thinking stuff that breaks the boundaries. this is the kind of stuff that is literally catnip to real music buffs
― cool music buff (missingNO), Saturday, 20 September 2014 19:30 (nine years ago) link
actually seen that article before, nice job btw
And yeah def. prefer it to "Tell Me When to Go" although both are dope
― nova, Sunday, 21 September 2014 00:00 (nine years ago) link
I feel like I barely go to a party where "Blow the Whistle" doesn't get played but I had assumed this was strictly a west coast phenomenon
― The Reverend, Sunday, 21 September 2014 00:15 (nine years ago) link
I still hear "Feelin' Myself" out pretty often (which ppl go nuts to obv) and "The Thizzle Dance" and "Super Hyphy" every once in a while
― The Reverend, Sunday, 21 September 2014 00:20 (nine years ago) link
At the time tho "Tell Me When to Go" was the biggest song that year but I rarely hear it now. There was one time that summer when I was at a red light and it came on the radio and I realized the guys in the next car had it on too and we started rapping it back and forth between are cars and going all dumb. That was the best.

Feelin myself is the jam
― Οὖτις, Sunday, 21 September 2014 00:45 (nine years ago) link
of all the songs you just mentioned, literally only 'blow the whistle' gets played at non-west coast clubs IME
― deej loaf (D-40), Sunday, 21 September 2014 01:28 (nine years ago) link
blow the whistle is a national legacy hit, now
― deej loaf (D-40), Sunday, 21 September 2014 01:29 (nine years ago) link
feel like I hear blow the whistle every day

man I hated "The Thizzle Dance" in college, thought it was terrible. college college blahblah.
I really should correct my lack of Mac Dre knowledge though, letting the Bay down
