at this point i've listened to a decent amount of IDM. I like some of it but people act like idm has taken electronic music so much further than hip hop. Obviously the two genres electronically have different goals, but in terms of layers, there is plenty of hip hop with sounds that are just as "crazy" as idm. And don't bring up some breakcore shit, anybody can make fast drums

This.

Autechre records are purchased solely by bald men in expensive anoraks who would masturbate to a car alarm if it was re-mixed by a German. Gantz Graf was an impenetrable curtain of misanthropic noise - released with an accompanying three-track DVD that features a squabble of hopelessly pretentious video "interpretations" - is typical of the menopausal electro-manglers' dogged refusal to bow to convention and produce anything of interest to anyone not either a) bald or b) German. It bleeps. It skronks. It krrraaaanks. But mainly, it blows like a ruddy awful hurricane. Remember, kids; if it sounds like a festering hillock of tune-shy bum-wank, it's because it IS a festering hillock of tune-shy bum-wank. Avoid as you would a bald German.

I don't know what you're trying to say here. Hip Hop music usually the same tired trap beats with minor variations and retarded lyrics designed by people like Pharrell who know how to appeal to the masses and sell a million records.

Electronic music is such a vast genre that I can't make a generalization for it, but I'm guessing you're referring to IDM since you posted Autechre. IDM is definitely "more advanced" than hip hop, and that's not debatable.

Popular does not mean advanced. Pushing musical theory does.

I don't even know what to say to your bullshit; it's that stupid.
IDM influenced countless genres. How does the entire electronic music scene sound?
Hip Hop, the vast majority of it, does not push musical theory. That's just a lie.
Creates babies isn't an argument.
Influencing popular culture doesn't make something advanced or complex. Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good or deep.
Hip Hop doesn't bring communities together.
>>
>>60268701

kode9's is a much bigger belter and i rate it slightly more, but what i like about the autechre remix is that the minimalism really emphasizes and frames the dark as fuck lyrics which really heightens the sense of dread. i'm just glad we have two superb, and very different, remixes of (imo) one of the greatest tracks of the 00's.

Autechre is super hip-hop. In fact, lots of "IDM" guys are huge hip-hop heads. This thread is dumb and serves as yet another example that /mu/tants don't know shit and are incapable of having a worthwhile conversation.
>>
>>60270635
Most of the people in this thread are 16, trying to feel superior for "not" getting something. It's weird, but what do you expect from this place?

The majority of dance / hip hop / electronic music owes as much to Jamaican music and hip hop as it does Stockhausen, YMO and Kraftwerk as well as funk and disco.
>>
>>60270609
i mean, they're right? hip-hop predates "idm." hip-hop does not, however, predate "electronic" music (though hip-hop itself falls under that classification so i dunno what op was even trying to accomplish here).

>>60270635
seriously, it's also pretty much all they listen to.

reminder that techno and electro are the same thing according to Juan Atkins, inventor of techno

And electro is a cornerstone of hip hop

Anyone with half a brain knows all this stuff is related

The funny thing tho is that people who get endlessly pissy about idm etc are generally unintelligent

It's like they need to prove the genre name is correct
>>
>>60270852
The majority of the people who take the name literally and think it has meaning and in turn, anything that is labelled ''experimental'' is somehow superior here is hilarious.

Speaking of which, Rob Brown (of Autechre) has a pretty tasty old school hip-hop mixtape which someone swiped out of his studio.

What the fuck is this reasoning? Explain yourself.

Or just go listen to tech death.

Also.. IDM isn't inherently more complex. It's true that IDM artists have experimented and pushed the sound forward with synths, polyrythms and syncopation but hip hop did the same with sampling, it pushed the idea and musocal concept to a new level and into a craft of it's own. So you basic arent is bullshit

It is a harder more intricate process to make the music and it's generally less accessible. What is it you don't understand about that dumb fuck?
>>
>>60271216
It depends on the artist, I suppose.

Like Autechre themselves have said that their "process" is just dicking around messing with samples/patches and pushing buttons until they find a sound they like. There's not a lot of composition involved at all. Just because it ends up sounding complex doesn't mean it was super difficult to make.
>>
>>60271216
>less accessible.

Making patches is fairly difficult compared to using an mpc tbqh

>>60271333

Altho my original point still stands as the majority of modern hip hop producers can't scratch either
>>
>>60271349
No arguments there, but then there is more to hip hop than the rappers /mu/ talks about.
>>
>>60271349
The majority of IDM producers aren't using max either
>>
>>60271360
Absolutely
All the original IDM producers grew up listening to hip hop, if anything it's an extension of the pioneering spirit of early hip hop
Autechre exemplify this imo
>>
>>60271295
Have you seen the their leaked MAX patches? Messy and chaotic fuck. I dunno why they don't clean them up, baka at those lads.

>>60271309
I'm kind of sad that scratching in hip-hop isn't as prominent as it once was, at least in the mainstream. I just love how fucked up it sounds.
>>
>>60271404
Not to mention turntablism, trip hop, early Mo Wax and Ninja Tune style downtempo fusions and in essence, breakbeat hardcore, jungle et al borrows directly from hip hop with breakbeats and Jamaican music in general.

Its all different sides of the same coin.
>>
Most IDM and Hip-Hop is garbage, but as a general rule Hip-hop is preschool next to IDM from any technical perspective.
And guess what, hip-hop never fucking tries to be anything but that because it isn't what hip-hop is.
It's simple and catchy. I don't know what r/hiphopheads is trying to prove here.
>>
>>60271422
IMO it split sometime around the gangsta rap era.

Up till early 90s it was DJ + MC, then it kinda split, the turntablist purists went one way, the rappers embraced new tehcnology and put more emphasis on the lyrics, flow and the rapper etc and went theirs.
>>
>>60271430
>Its all different sides of the same coin.
Completely true, which is why I find the subject of this thread and many of the replies to be ludicrous. People are being very myopic imo.

I'm pretty ignorant of the current scenes and whatnot, but do you have any recs of good contemporary hip-hop that isn't trap? Not anything against that, but it's just not to my taste.
