I's add Bounce
What's teh proper definition of bounce? examples?
Its interesting that you include Ragga as a form of Hip Hop. Wasnt Ragga
spurned by King Jammy ?
Yeah I'm not so much including it as a form of hiphop, more a style that
can be incorporated into hiphop. (plus its a backdoor way of getting
mroe music into said hypothetical database).
Jazz rap, in the mold of Dream Warriors, Us3 etc. Yes, it's cheesy; yes, it
exists.

Is that the word we use? "Jazz Rap"? Does that include Gang* and the
Roots?
Oh right cool, the boundaries have been blurred anyway with the likes of
Sean Paul etc....
Or Just Ice, KRS One, Mad Cobra, Born Jamericans etc etc much earlier.
Yeah good point although they are still rhyming over hip hop beats and have
Jamaican accents. Sean Paul was a Dancehall artist, now it seems he'll do
anything for coin !
it's basically mannie fresh style instrumentals with lil jon style
lyrics over it. tight shit, huge down south. it is to new orleans
what miami bass is to, uh, miami.
DJ Jubilee is the epitome of what Bounce is. Also Ricky B, T Tucker & DJ
Irv, pre Cash Money Juvenile, and pre No Limit Soulja Slim (he was known as
Magnolia Slim) are some other examples I can think of off the top of the
head.. It's pretty big in the south, particularly new orleans.

what about downtempo? like that shit dj shadow and dj krush do?
peace!

downtempo. I dont know. To me it's a non-entity. If were gonna have a
word for this stuff I think it has to be Trip-hop cos thats what most
people say (however much the term sucks).
I don't know.... what do we think.
("Bounce" or "Bounce Music")
pick and choose....

"I rep for the hood!!!"--RossAndersen
> Nerd rap
I don't think so... who's gonna submit something and call it that
themselves
> Boom-Bap
yeah I thought of this bu I don't know if you can quite define it.
> Underground
Maybe, its kind of subjective though.
> Mob
Lump with thug.
> Hip-House
Yeah probably.
> Drum and Bass
> Gospel (Christian)
I suppose Gospel rap is relevant but I don't know...
> Crunk
> Screw
I was leaving these two out cos... I don't know why but I was.
> Garage
Nah.
I personally would have it all as just HIphop but that aint a popular
idea.
the whole thing is invalid if you dont have a screw section... including
anyone who came out of the screw scene
ie: paul wall and chammillionaire shit regular speed... it gets classified
in the screw section, but you have in the title whether its a screwed
version or not, cuz most come out both ways...

Lump with thug.
<<<
You could lump "gangsta" with thug if that was the case.
Mob is simply for ridin' your car to, not necessarily always thugged out....
>What would you add to these? (no regional or date based please)
why not? i think such descriptions make at least as much sense as those you
listed.
or you just don't want the _name_ of the style to have a region or date in it?

put some thugged out go-go cat?

They are styles which can be applied to a release. So they appear under
the banner of Genre: Hiphop and then have Styles: Go-go, Thug Rap, etc
They can have 3 styles. Anyway I dont even care about this style shit,
its not gonna mean anything to anyone.
