Beyond the rhyming style known as rapping or MC-ing, deejaying uses the turntable as an instrument that the MC raps over while listeners engage in the quasi-acrobatic gyrations of breakdancing. Rapping can take many forms--from the rhythmic vocal delivery of blues artists and the artsy jazz-influenced delivery of the Last Poets to the almost spoken-word delivery of Bob Dylan and Lou Reed. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_g1epc/is_tov/ai_2419101014   (291 words)

Country and rap dominate 25 top albums of the year The dominance of country and rap on the charts could be seen partly as a reaction to consumers being spoon-fed manufactured boy bands for years. Genre: Coming-of-Age Pop R&B. Take: A little bit of Lauryn Hill, a little bit of TLC and, for listeners with attention-deficit disorder, one-word song titles and an introduction that samples songs on which she has sung in the past. Although it could be argued that much of what passes for country is virtually indistinguishable from generic pop, country music still represents a more specific aesthetic, national identity and, at least in today's music, upwardly mobile lifestyle than other forms of manufactured pop. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2002/12/27/DD48547.DTL&type=printable   (1914 words)

SOHH.com Global Forum - Korea's rap 'n' roll phenomenon Try to dismiss K-pop as K-rap, though, and you overlook the most remarkable aspect of the phenomenon, the fast-spreading popularity of this pop form to China, the communist giant that seems to welcome the invasion as long as it is pop, and not political. Unlike the anodyne messages of the rap that is chanted by the major bands, including "Drunken Tiger," they shout out words of rebellion against traditional society. Maybe, he says, that's because Koreans are so mesmerized by the formulaic numbers blaring from the country's four music TV channels that they have yet to consider them as an overall phenomenon deserving of a label reflecting the country of origin. forums.sohh.com /showthread.php?t=130467   (1053 words)

For those who don't know the Pop's, think of it this way; Haight Ashbury meets the Clash or Pre-Post Grunge 'Frisco style or Zappa and Iggy on a peyote and speed bender (hey kids, don't do drugs!) This is pre-indie indie, guys! With Grateful Dead covers, thrash, and some primitive rap, it's got everything for everyone. www.cdbaby.com /cd/popopies   (1068 words)

MP3.com - the source for digital music! Meanwhile, Dr. Dre's catchy G-funk and Puff Daddy's Hammer-esque plundering of '80s pop hits helped bring gangsta and hardcore themes to the top of the charts; by the end of the '90s, pop-rap was dominated by artists they had influenced and/or mentored, as well as artists who blended rap with urban soul. There had been hit rap singles and albums before him, but MC Hammer was the man who truly brought rap music to a mass pop audience. Clean-cut, witty, and easygoing, the duo's bubblegum approach was a stark contrast to the dominant, harder-edged rap sound of the period; viewed as a non-threatening alternative to their peers, they received the parental seal of approval, and their appeal spread across racial lines as well. www.mp3.com /pop-rap/genre/577/subgenre.html   (4873 words)
