Hip-hop instrumentals by Nicholas Cheung. CCR is great for picking some of these people up.

Re: General Music Discussion
Ninety-nine percent is not equal to one hundred percent. The difference is a single percentage - a usually miniscule amount in comparison to the whole of the quantity. It is exactly one one-hundredth. However, in a larger quantity, one percent or less can still be a large number. If 1% of Americans are the richest, that's still 3,166,686 people. If we say that there are approximately 853 genres of music, that means that there's ~9 genres of music I don't like. That is a bit silly. However, if I say I like 90% of music genres, that's ~85 genres I want nothing to do with. That's much more realistic.
So yes, I did make a silly exaggeration earlier. But really, I didn't expect there to be 853 genres of music. I haven't even heard of most of these. "Zydeco", "Taiko", "Red dirt", etc. Go through that list, there's a lot of weird ones.

Re: General Music Discussion
Most genres and subgenres really have no business existing, as they can be completely made up and turned into a fad on a whim. And some subgenres are simply a unique style only employed by one or two artists. I'm going to mention some, because I like music trivia.
There are two subgenres called deathcore. One being metalcore with death metal and djent influence (well established) , and the other being a micro-genre of terrorcore, only a few artists in the already small Terrorcore circles claim to make deathcore. Terrorcore is cool; it's like evil sounding rave music, slightly slower than speedcore.
Nightcore is another genre that shouldn't exist, but does for some reason. It takes j-pop, happy House (DDR music), and happy hardcore, speeds them up even faster, and pitch-shifts them to be all high pitch. This is not its own anything.
Electronica isn't a genre, subgenre or anything. There is no electronica, it doesn't exist, it's an umbrella term people made up to label electronic genres.
There are lots of others...
I'm going to link more music I like but this time, I'm only linking Lil B #based #positive this is such a #rare moment

Re: General Music Discussion
I'll be honest when I say I only liked him ironically for a short time. The message he used to send was pure but now he's just swagass like the rest of the trash rap artists.

Re: General Music Discussion
Be honest, have you kept up with any of his new albums and mixtapes? The past year, he's released two or three ambient albums, several mixtapes all with positive messages, deep tracks, and cooking tracks (the swag ones).

Yeah he's deep, but he doesn't have any flow.

That's like saying Wu-Tang Clan doesn't have any white members. No ♥♥♥♥? Doesn't stop him from being deep

Re: General Music Discussion
I just can't get into it if his flow isn't in motion. I already said I know he's deep.

Re: General Music Discussion
I'm not that into those associated with Monstercat because they're mostly just ascending mainstream electronic music,
but I'm a nut for slap bass.

Re: General Music Discussion
My problem with the re-emergence of nu-disco is that this second wave has become totally saturated by the fallout sound of electro house and electroclash. The point of nu-disco was to bring the groove back and make mid-tempo dance jams. These grooves are replaced by 808 claps and buzzes, as well as lots of low frequency square waves and such. While I love the sound of electroclash, I think it should stay preserved as just that, and have nu-disco like deep house, only with more soul and more upbeat of course. Get what I'm sayin? Like, it sounds like Justice, when it should be sounding more like Thomas Bangalter. Neat song though
