RAP/HIP HOP
Who the hell are not familiar rap music that is also called hip-hop music? These days when talking about this kind of music you might immediately imagine rapper-rapper that we often hear, such as Puff Daddy or Diddy, Kanye West, Nelly, 50 Cent, or Eminem. They each did provide unique touch to their rap, but they did not the creator or originator of this kind of music. They just grandchildren or even great-grandchildren in the history of rap music. This is because the origins of rap emerged since the 1970's. [P Diddy was still just kids and was known by his real name, Sean Combs. Moreover, the Eminem, he was a baby named Marshall Mathers and let talk-talk rough times have not been able aja!]
Hip-hop culture.Rap music is part of hip-hop lifestyle. Hip-hop is a sub-culture that began to emerge in the neighborhood black kids and hispanic living in the Bronx in New York City, USA. Hip-hop culture often marked with a choice of clothing, graffiti on walls, and their dance movements. Hip-hop music has a distinctive characteristic of strong beats and peppered with lyrics that flow with the bad because Rhyming words-like poetry. One thing that is interesting, in that era, the term "rapper" itself does not exist. What is MC and DJ. [Slightly different from the MC who hired your sister when she made wedding reception last year], the MC duties talk between the songs that play DJ for ngenalin title songs or make other comments that makes the atmosphere more comfortable. For which keganggu not listen to the ravings of MC, the MC will make ocehannya flow and blend with the music. It's become one of the precursor rapping as we know it today.
Effect of Jamaica.Considerable influence on contemporary rap music is also from acculturation [hopefully this word means mixing or marriage] American culture and Jamaica. So, the story, really happy with the Jamaican R & B music that introduced the American army in Jamaica and played on radio stations there. Often created a kind of impromptu dance halls [Sudden R & B?] With how to install sound-system big enough for people to hear in sekitaranya. Because of Jamaica at that time can not make R & B music as good as the Americans, usually R & B music being played is a recording of American musicians. And there are elements of Jamaica for her, there is always a local MC (of Jamaica) who nge-"toast" during the music going. Toasting it essentially is ngoceh activity while music goes on. Sometimes the in-babble that the phrases or simple words that can make the added spirit of the people who were dancing, like "move it, move it" or "work it, work it" [and this of course with the accent Jamaica tough and sexy it].
MC and the DJ started to be creative.With some of these influences, plus a "new inventions" which appeared in the techniques of hip hop music, the kind of music is increasingly preferred by more and more people. Creativity continues to evolve. DJ began macem-macem ideas, behavior, and technique. With dual turntables, DJs began using the techniques of breaking where the parts of a particular song will be stripped so that only the basic beat which sounds or scratching where LPs are played in fast forward and rewind so out distinctive sound, and other techniques. The increased ability of the DJ is also accompanied by rapid development of its partners, namely the MC. MC increasingly creative in making the story and lyrics, the lyrics become a spectacle of itself in addition to music that go with it. The focus began to shift somewhat in the MC itself. Black teenagers, hispanic, and other minorities in America began to actively train the ability ngoceh with an interesting story and the melody is pleasant to hear. One will be disconnected prattle of children with other children and each other and could even answer. From here also develops later called the battle, which is fighting lyrics, mutual responsibility, attack each other. [Imagine reverb rhyme without the clothing area!] Eniwei, after more and more people make this kind of music, ultimately recording the history of recorded rap music first exploded commercially and get attention and widespread public recognition. The group that brought the name Sugar Hill Gang and his song titled Rapper's Delight. Even the word "rapper" and even then popularized by the song. People started calling the rapper a term to replace the word MC.
How would you like your rap, sir?-Emergence of various types of rap.As in other musical genres, rap-genre began to develop into several "types" of rap music. It seems there is no textbook that clearly divides the types of rap music, but from the daily observation we can see there are at least some kind. What is perhaps most often we hear the news is gangsta rap (gangster rap was so mean). If you want, see also box a story about this gangsta rap vs-West Coast. East Coast]. In addition because this type of rap emang popular, sometimes more often we hear this kind of rap because its rappernya also often make tantrum so that news of gangsta rap has become more and more appear. You may know Tupac Shakur, Notorious BIG, Snoop Dogg, and so forth-they entered the category this gangster. First P-Diddy and Jay-Z I think also it can be said clearly into this category, but now not clear as well. More toward pop-rap I think. The themes they are not about gangsters living on the streets only. Many rappers are topics the lyrics change with the changes that he experienced in daily life. Human. Continues there is also the color of Jamaica rap its a bit thicker, first Wyclef Jean likes to play this type, but may now be also already changed. Keep any party-rap, old Will Smith (then still joined in a duo called DJ Jazzy Jazz and the Fresh Prince) liked the song that its themes parties and other events that the atmosphere is good. One thing worth noting about Will Smith is that he's got a great commitment to not use rude words - or Caucasian people usually mention it as a four-letter-words - and theme-was always positive. There is also a rapper who lately that the more popular a name is Kanye West. He does still use rude words here and there (but not sale very well) but the theme of the songs were different from his colleagues. Kanye sometimes romantic, sometimes humorous, sometimes satiristis. In his album Late Registration, just a lot of lyrics and Skit that story as if he was really poor. This is 180% opposed to other rappers rapper-that would normally be the story of her jewelry, money, the girls, and cars (both low-rider who can go up and down use hydraulic suspension and cars that use it lho-dubs rim bling-bling the size 20 inch and above.) This example of the actualization of his sense of humor the Kanye. There also continues to sound the so-called G-funk rapper known by the west-coast rapper (ie in California, USA). G-funk is widely popularized by rapper named Warren G. Continue, of course, we know that start-rapper is a white rapper who tries his fate in a world ruled by black people of this. Tersebutlah several names like Vanilla Ice, Eminem, Linkin Park, Crazy Town, Limp Bizkit, and others are presenting their version of rap respectively. As we know, their success rate was different. But in general we can say that rap by white people do not [or not?] Of rap by, for example, hispanic descent in America. If we remember, the story of the birth of the forerunner of rap music in mind, we will remember that the Bronx in addition to packed by black people also inhabited by many hispanic descent. So it's known that rap music fans in general are blacks and hispanic descent. But that too is slowly changing. This phenomenon is now often called cross-over, namely menyebrangnya whites and ethnic others into rap music fans. Rap has gone mainstream.
Rap Inc. Advertising Firm?One thing peculiar about rap music is that even though we're listening to gangsta rap, it could be-if we look at the lyrics, we made a smile here and there. This is because in the lyrics of the theme hard, too, can we hear something funny-or at least-a little tickle. Rapper indeed often prefer to call or compare something with the products that we know the daily (eg credit card type, food & beverage, brand clothes, etc.) with a touch of humor. Sometimes rappers also like to mention celebrities or other rappers [and not always in the context of that please them]. Eniwei, given that America is a place of birth and the development of rap music and also one of the country where marketing and advertising industry is very advanced, many people allege that some large companies do the "product placement" in rap songs. The allegations fairly, yet in the world of film product placement becomes very, very common. [If we watch a Hollywood film output, and see the champion in a car, for example, BMW while talking with, for example Sony Ericsson mobile phone, chances are it is product placement by BMW, Sony Ericsson and Swatch-time HP had plasticity lift him use at Swatch Skin ]. As in the film world, companies that do product placement in rap music industry will pay rappers to mention brand products in their rap songs. Regardless of the true nggaknya accusation, it is also hard to distinguish whether the time of the Puffy story that he had a Mercedes that he never use in one of his songs is the willingness of the Puffy himself or Benz love him money? It is difficult, sometimes rapper is calling the brands that very day-to-day (eg, MTV, KFC, Visa credit card) and sometimes called upscale brands (eg Mercedes Benz, Rolex, Armani) on a voluntary basis-depending on the story song. But regardless of paid or not, if that makes any mention of the lyrics is more descriptive, more nge-flow, or nge-Rhyme, it seems we do not have too much give a damn. Ohiya, before it is finished talking about product placement, do not believe that the word "Indonesia" is also called by some American rappers in the lyrics of the song? All I know is Notorious B.I.G. and Will Smith. Who knew the Department of Tourism Republic of Indonesia formed a partnership with both the rapper [yeah, right!-Just imagine the proposal letter: Dear. Mr. Notorious BIG, we hereby proposal ...] Eniwei, re talking about color and theme, there are many other colors are unique hosted by rapper-rapper and everything else continues to grow. Someday maybe we'll see the colors or new themes. As with other types of music, rap is an expression of the human soul-man creator or his audience. Everyday social circumstances will to some extent determine the themes that exist.
Rap and nature & culture of Indonesia.If rap music in Indonesia, how? As in many other countries, rap music are also growing in Indonesia, although probably not by very rapidly. Still remember the time of Iwa K is still often we hear on the radio? Many emerging rap groups Indonesia, lyrics, the lyrics a little more stories of everyday life and quite entertaining. The element of humor is quite thick also used in the lyrics made in Indonesia and indeed it seems that humor sells. Who the hell are going to reject given Indonesian lyrics are cute and easy to remember and backed with a nice melody and the beat? Many? But it was not really too much. Look around us? What we see many local rap groups let alone the level of popularity comparable to local groups bearers of pop and rock music? On the pop and rock there is Shiela on 7, Bob Marley, Peter, and seabreg again. [For example, need not be a lot, yet this is not product placement]. But beside the local rap music? How the earth and sky. Why did this happen? Perhaps the answer is simple and somewhat ridiculous [but maybe not too inconsequential] is: because of nature and culture of Indonesia wanted it that way. Maybe nature and culture of Indonesia is not suitable for Indonesia rap music? Could be.
The process of "selection and trial."Indonesia and Indonesian people were very diverse. His cultural background was diverse. As a result, we have a culture that easily absorb the art, culture, other customs. And that's good because our culture will become increasingly rich and growing. As an illustration, if there are new kinds of music, such as rock, which appear outside sono, then with music it will arrive in Indonesia as well. And we do not realize there will be a process of "selection and trial." If felt appropriate, the type of music that will stay in Indonesia and fused with the style and culture that already exist in Indonesia and be the rock music of Indonesia. If rock music was-after going through "the process of selection and testing"-was regarded by the majority of Indonesia lack of match, the rock music it will slowly leave our culture and are under the radar and senses of our culture. Finally, rock music will be considered only as a passing fad in Indonesia. But of course this is just an example because we know that rock music has entered, through the process of "selection and testing", and graduated with a very satisfactory rate. Almost was not terhitungkan how many rock musicians in Indonesia. Many of those who can make a pretty darn good life out of it too!
Nice try, but please come back next year.How the fate of rap music? Do they have passed the selection process and trial in Indonesia? Perhaps the answer is "no" or at least-not "yet". Several years ago Indonesia had started to rap music will spread, but in fact cut his speed can not be maintained. In the context of Indonesian music, how many of us while waiting for the elevator doors open [if fitted rather quiet] mensiulkan or sing songs like Peterpan, Nidji, or a god or other local groups? How many among us who sing the lyrics of a local rap? [Ding-ding *** *** elevator doors open, quiet, and closed again-still no one who sang the local rap music.] But why? Perhaps it is not fitting for us for many reasons: 1). Indeed we do not really, 2) the negative connotations arising from some news excerpts that were heard about the world of rap in America, 3) It's hard to rapping in the Indonesian language because the structure of words long and 4) Children who want to be rappers have PD [meaning confident, not Puff Daddy] to make the lyrics and rapping in English, or a thousand and one other unclear reasons. The reason could be is unclear, but it was definitely a local rap music is the least developed in Indonesia.
Pls make cans Why you just buy?Why did I say that the answer to the question "What is rap music escaped from the selection process and trial?" Is "not yet"-and not "not" alone? Because, in my opinion, it may be the wave of rap music will try once again to enter the doors of the ears and hearts of people of Indonesia and hoped to be appointed to be something of Indonesia. With the increasing number of local singers who make astute and eloquent singing songs in English it may appear that the rapper-rapper voice, language, and lingo of his if he can not dibeda'in rappers from Brooklyn or the Block-M. Too Phat from Malaysia is one example of a fairly sizable. Both members of the duo were not only have the ability to pronounce English words as native speakers of the language, but also know enough rap lingo that must be used. [Ever hear of people who do not understand computer computer nerangin damage to the IT support? "Mas, my computer blink-kedipannya sometimes like to hang and do not want to move even though I already enter-enter its driver. Virus yes, Mas? ". This is just an example of people using all the wrong lingos]. They-Too Phat, that is-even to a collaboration with rapper Warren G (from California, USA) for her re-release one hits him several years ago. And all of that could also happen in Indonesia. Could be yes and can not. But, whatever happens in my opinion good. There are certain things from outside that is easy on the adaptation by us and made by us and developed by us so that was quite the find-local-eg pizza, burgers, and maybe some clothes. But there are other things that sometimes we think we're more comfortable to take the goods from the country of origin-eg, the creator of branded clothing, some electronic products, and maybe rap music? We'll see .***
