head nod beats

you know youd rather call it that then tell someone you make wonky...



what you guys think?

Don't wanna knock you but, how about we just make music instead of thinking of synonyms or references to certain types of beats.. It only brings confusion.

WTF is wonky? (european term i'm guessing?)

co-sign

ppl be so busy trying to label a sound to a category instead of just making good music. post dilla , wonky is all ridiculous names was't that last post similar to this. next thing u know next label will be post samiyam or post flylo.

and
interesting article
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonky_(music)
where it talks about the difference between wonky (from uk) and street bass (from usa) and precursions by madlib and jdilla (wich influenced lotus and dabrye) and the influence of dubstep on that too.
have a good read guys.

crazy u show jneiro he doesnt get as much credit. and he's been on that style early. 3 piece puzzle one of my favs. that brandy beat is crazy too. didnt notice it as much then

lets keep it 100 though. I dont mind peeps tryna label sub-genres as long as its intention is to organize, not to sound like their "in the know" or pretentious.

WIth that said, "beats" "hip hop" is too vague in a world where maw fuckaz want to know wtf they gettin. and im tired of saying i make

"instrumental hip hop, with synths, glitchy sound effects, off kilter dilla inspired beats and one shots spread throughout, and i often use ducking compression."

imo a popular enough style to warrant a single name instead of a description.

i agree wonky sounds wack, aqua crunk? purple sound? WTF

HnB not so bad tbh.

its like dnb or rnb, hnb maw fuckaz =D

Holy Shit @ that brandy track. thas some neck snap shit =D

ALso those Jneiro Jarel tracks = damn!!!

i love hearing those old tracks that influenced future styles.

i remember DB posting that Saafir joint with the chopped up game sounds. nice =D.

that makes sense especially describe what u make to cats who don't really know about music ,and u gotta mention someone u think they may be familiar with.

.....

i agree with Dibiase

To me its like someone asking

"ayo what kind of music do you make?"

and then i go

"i make broken beat based tracks. up to speeds of 170-190 bpm. I then layer these tracks with fat basslines over the top and various samples. I like to structure the track to have a big drop as well as an intro, break down outro. "

in other words DnB.

The way it should be is i first tell them the style name and if they dont know what it is then i explain, not the other way around.

just start throwing the term "HnB" around in your circles and it'll catch on.

think about it. Lots of great genres have the "N" in the middle

rock n roll, rnb, dnb and now... HnB

why we gona ride european trends with that Wonky name

because you start this Wonky thread
