Tbf to OP hip-hop's signature sound was built on decontextualization and recontextualization.

can i get some dance music that isn't danceable?
oh yeah i can, i see there are hundreds of ILM threads about exactly that
strange that asking for rap that doesn't rap is somehow more controversial than asking for dance that doesn't dance or rock that doesn't rock
― lurks, Sunday, 31 May 2020 17:04 (three years ago) link
rockers rocking about rocking (post 50s) is the most insufferable "mode" of rock, it's always bad, critically rehabilitated hard rock included
rappers rapping about rapping probably includes a lot of the best and worst rap though

I will admit there are times I want to listen to, say, Slayer, or Sabbath, but I don't feel like hearing the stupid (proto or no) metal-trope lyrics. There are other times I do.

The suggestion that I listen to hip-hop in a language I don’t understand does seem like an honest attempt to answer my request in the OP, so thanks. But the problem here is that one of my biggest hobbies is language-learning, so I probably would not be oblivious to the lyrics for long.

i could try to listen to something in a language i don't know, but i'm such a genius that i would inevitably learn the language and my listening pleasure would decrease significantly

Sund4r and Lurks get it. I find it just as tiresome when rockers sing about wanting to rock. I also don't like poets who write poems that constantly mention The Poem or poetry. I would prefer that the medium (whether a rock song, a poem, or a hip-hop track) be used to communicate something that is separate from the medium.

I am well aware of American news at the moment, thanks. But why should it be relevant to the music I want to listen to for entertainment? How many Americans follow news in other countries and form their aesthetic preferences based on that?
― Melomane, Sunday, 31 May 2020 17:16 (three years ago) link
do you regularly google say "news in nigeria this year" news in "costa rica this year"?xp

I only like art that is totally free of the strictures of form, devoid of any referent in the so called real world and unconnected to the history of popular music leading up to it. You know, shoegaze

great time to start a thread asking for music that erases the contributions of the people who invented it, at the very same moment that an entire country is tearing itself apart trying to defend the very same people from being erased by white supremacists
i think less of anyone on this thread who engaged with this asshole in a serious manner

j/k drexciya are funky as hell but notice how i could answer this question without removing any aspect of the black american voice from the genre of dance music

Karl, I love you but context does shift as it crosses borders, misappropriation and misunderstanding are the norm.

yes brad but you didn't really answer correctly because as you note drexciya are actually danceable
whether drexciya is dj-mixable is another issue entirely ...
