Inside the Bay Area Hyphy Movement

MAKE HIP HOP BEATS :

Ask people in the Bay Area what the Hyphy Movement is all about and you will get many different meanings and perspectives. So who can truly explain what it's all about?

Inside the Bay Area Hyphy Movement

In search of such a person, we heard about one emerging Hyphy artist getting ready to release a new album with guest appearances from Too Short, San Quinn, J Diggs, among others. This artist certainly tells it like it is, so we gave him a chance to explain the Hyphy movement.

Driving around the Bay Area in a custom made limousine with the words "Hyphy Train" painted across the rear window, this emerging artist calls himself Greenie. Whether he means to or not, his deep, raspy voice carries a Hyphy tone that encapsulates this Bay Area movement.

Greenie recently took a break from the studio to talk about the Hyphy movement & what rap music is missing:

Interview:
Bay Area Hyphy Movement (BAHM): From what we understand, Hyphy can be crazy dance moves or just smashing someone in the face. How would you define Hyphy?

Greenie: Hyphy as I understand it literally means hyper and fly, but really its how all da homies from the Bay get down when we listen to our Bay style music.

BAHM: Some might say the Hyphy Movement is just a fad? Can it last?

Greenie: Thats like asking is hiphop or rap a fad, hell no it aint a fad, its a lifestle/music. I think it will evolve and take different forms, but now when we refer to hyphy, we are talking bout Bay style, Bay area rap.

BAHM: What does the Hyphy movement mean to the Bay Area?

Greenie: Well, its just like I said rap/hip-hop started in Queens. It evolved took different forms. Today, the South would refer to there style of rap as crunk, the Bay would refer to its Style as hyphy. But not everyone who is from the Bay raps with a hyphy style. I for one only have three songs on my album that I would classify as "hyphy" the rest are just normal rap. E-40's last album every song was hyphy, kick drum slumping hard, beats per minute slightly sped up, and e-40 spittin somethin vicious, THATS HYPHY at its core, and everybody in the Bay is down with it so its important for the Bay in that it brings us all together.

BAHM: So tell us about the new album. What should fans expect, who are some of the guest appearances?

Greenie: First off I'd like to say that I am a huge fan of rap first before ever being an artist. The game is missing a classic element in that people are rapping whole songs and aren't saying shit. It's look what I got, whereas before you could pickup a dope record and actually learn a lot of street shit. In this album you could pick it up and learn a lot of shit about Northern California and this sick ass place we call the Bay Area. I brought several of my favorite artists from the Bay Area and LA together to make this dope album. Look for Too $hort San Quinn, J diggs, and Roscoe of the Dogg Pound, to name a few, and classic producers like One Drop Scott who has worked with Mac Dre, and Gennessee, who has a ridiculous roster.

BAHM: I heard several tracks from your latest album and they are straight Slumper. What is your favorite track, what is the album called & when is it getting released?

Greenie: My much anticipated album is due out this month however, I keep pushing it back since I just received word that Snoop Dogg is only a phone call away. The album will be named The Legend Of Chester Copperpot. My favorite track on the album would have to be "Who Drop," no one has heard it yet cause I wont let anyone listen to it. IT IS ONE OF THE BEST RAP SONGS EVER MADE!

BAHM: What can we expect in the future of Hyphy music?

Greenie: Hopefully, you will see a unified Bay where we aint at war with each other, right now shit is outta control with the violence in the rich and in the O. If we could get unified, hyphy music could really be a driving force behind rap music in general.

BAHM: What other artists should we be looking for outta Northern Cali?

Greenie: Obviously you got the San Quinn's, E-40's, keek da sneek that make our music dope. Thizz ent has a roster of sick individuals though, Bavgate, and our famous new Indian dude Haji Springer are bout to take over. Look for dem to do some big thangs in the upcoming future months.

BAHM: There have been rough times for you working on your latest album. Did you ever think about quitting the rap thing altogether? What kept you going?

Greenie: It's tough in the rap game since everybody and there mother is tryin to rap. There are times still where I'm like shit I aint making that money off this thing like I thought I would, but than another thing I've really come to realize is that I really enjoy rapping, I love it, that shit is fucken fun when you lay down something dope. Selling records these days is all bout marketing. I feel like I've surrounded myself with the right people, I've got my features up, and this is the best album I've ever done so regardless of the response I'm still happy.

BAHM: Do you like the direction that hip hop music is going, or would you like to see something different?

Greenie: I do not understand how some of this shit makes it to TV and the radio but I'm not gon hate on them for there success. Obviously they were doing something right. Hip hop will never be the same as it was since it's birth in the early eighties late seventies. Early on we were learning from each others as emcees, what sounded hot and street cred, and what not to say. Now that most shit from the street has been taught by previous emcees it's hard for an artist to express new ideas that haven't really been touched by previous rappers. So a lot of what you here is repetitive like look at the diamonds I've got, the cars, the bytches, the dope, my street life. As long as we keep rappin bout the same shit we're kinda stuck, so what I've tried to do is create shit that hasn't really been touched and try to be original as much as possible. I've also got OG'S from the rap game on the album so I can bring that original flavor of hip hop to the present. Too Short, and the Reyes brothers from Cypress Hill, are some of the artists you'll find on my record and they are some of my favorite artists of all time as well.

Music History - Hip Hop, Rap, R&B

MAKE HIP HOP BEATS :

In the early 1970s, the cultural movement of hip hop music was born. Hip hop's fast paced music style is made of two parts; the rhythmic delivery of rap and the use ofinstrumentation by a DJ. Hip hop music also brought with it a fashion of its own, the fashion helped to represent this newly created music.

Music History - Hip Hop, Rap, R&B

Hip hop music has its roots from West African music and African-American music. The first rap song to be put onto a vinyl record was, "Rapper's Delight", a song by the Sugarhill Gang back in the 1970s. This is when block parties started becoming the norm in New York City, which gave hip hop and rap the chance to explode in popularity. Hip hop's instrumentation came from funk, R&B, and disco, when combined together make this dynamic type of music. When the DJs at these block parties learned what the people liked, they began mixing these vinyl records and created music that played continuously with amazing transitions between
songs. Hip hop was actually created by a DJ named Kool Herc, a Jamaican that had moved to the United States with a style that consisted of mixing music by using two copies of the same record. Many of the poor Jamaican's in the town could not afford vinyl records, so huge stereo systems were set up so that many could here the rhythmic beats. These stereo systems were the kick-off for the beginning of the
evolution of block parties. So with the musical talent of these amazing DJs, with the use of vinyl record mixing, the culture of hip hop and rap music was born.

History of R & B

R&B, which stands for Rhythm and Blues, was the greatest influence on music around the world for most of the 20th century's second-half. Rhythm and Blues is a term with a broad sense, but typically recognizing black-pop music. This type of music was introduced to the world by artists' combining the music styles of jazz and blues. R&B is actually what was later developed into what we know as rock and roll. In the 1970s, the term R&B was being used to describe soul and funk music styles, which today we know it describes Rhythm and Blues. Along with being influenced by jazz and blues, R&B also had influences from gospel and disco music. Disco's downturn in the 1980s opened the door for R&B to truly take-off in popularity.

How To Buy Hip Hop Beats For Sale On The Internet - Things To Know Before You Buy

MAKE HIP HOP BEATS :

It has become ever so popular for independent recording artists and producers to buy and sell beats online. With this trend comes a lot of traffic from inexperienced artists trying to buy beats online. An inexperienced buyer will easily over pay for a beat online. This article was written from personal experience in hopes of giving some insight, not as a hard set of rules to follow, but a guide. Listed below are things beat buyers should know and understand when buying beats online.

How To Buy Hip Hop Beats For Sale On The Internet - Things To Know Before You Buy

Understand The INTRINSIC Value Of Hip Hop Beats And Rap Beats

You can't touch, bend, break, fold, or smell rap beats. For that matter, you can't even see them, yet in the music industry, we see them being sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Oh ... but you can hear and fell vibrations from beats, can't you. This kind of makes music like the wind, so I guess it's fair to say the music industry is selling "air"... not really, but hopefully you get my point. It's not the price of the beat but the producer or person you are buying it from.

The actual value of a beat or music is based on an underlying perception of its true value, perception being the keyword. Don't rip yourself off by buying a beat online for 0 if the producer has no credibility or his or her image and stature in the music industry doesn't give value to your demo or album sales. Look at what Brittany Spears did on her latest album, take note of the album credits and all the popular "Producer Powers" employed, essentially playing a major part in her attempt to revive her career.

Some Internet Beat Pricing Standards And Averages

The average rate on the Internet for a "Non-Exclusive" beat license is - . With this type of license you are essentially leasing or renting the beat for a given amount of time or copies. The average for an "Exclusive" beat license is from around - 0. This type of license gives you full ownership of the beat, as if you created it yourself. More popularly noted as "work for hire". Note: Some exclusive licenses may restrict resale.

Try To Contact The Producer Before You Buy

To get the most for your money, and protect yourself from "beat-jackers" (people who steal other peoples beats and resell them) try to contact the producer first to see if he or she is responsive, email or PM seems to be the best method. Don't just buy beats from "Joe Blow" without making some kind of contact first. Trust me, real beat makers who are truly vested in their craft make themselves available and they'll be happy to hear from you (it builds their ego) and will more than likely work a deal out with you if you buy more than one beat from them. If a seller takes more than two days to respond, keep it moving. There are literally thousands of other producers who will stop at the drop of a hat to make a sale in hopes of repeat business and a little recognition. Try starting off with producers that you see are already selling beats to others on the net or have their beats rated high or "Hot". Obviously they are doing something right and they are more than likely satisfying other beat buyers needs.

Get It In Writing

When you buy beats online, make sure there is some type of printable licensing agreement associated with the beat you buy. A licensing agreement/contract will explain the rights you have with the beats and the terms under which you may use the beat.

Cheap Exclusive Beat

Cheap exclusive beats are the best deals to get but there are very few producers out there who are willing to sell you an exclusive beat from to . Check out thebeattrader for some of those type deals. There are not a lot of producers on that site and understandably so, but the site became very popular for selling low priced exclusive beats a few years ago.

Cheap Non-Exclusive Beats

The next best thing is a low priced non-exclusive. Remember, the catch with non-exclusive beats is that the beat may have been sold several other times before you buy it, so if you are looking for fresh music, make a list of the producers you like on a site and watch their profiles. Good experienced online producers know to cycle out old beats and update their profiles with new beats at least every 2-3 days.

I'd say a fair price to pay for a non-exclusive beat is about . There is an abundant amount of producers selling beats online right now who would fight for your business. Online producers are almost a dime a dozen so it's really easy nowadays to get unique music for your mix-tape, demo, or album at and very affordable price.

Happy Beat Buying!

Choose your genre

Before starting to create your own music with Dub Turbo, choose the genre that you are comfortable with. Of' course, there is the possibility of creating your own genre, but before jumping head long into the water it is better to test the water with your toe. Once you are more comfortable, you can move on to creating your own genres. So first decide on a genre that you love and are comfortable with. Remember, a work that is well begun in half complete. Then decide on what will make that genre special and alluring. Once this ground work is done, you are ready to roll.

Creating your beats:

There are three crucial steps that need to be followed for creating a beat in any genre. They include

· Creating a baseline · Creating the audio loops · Laying out the midi drum patterns.

Creating the baseline is the integral step in any beat creation process, because this lays the foundation. This is the skeleton upon which the other aspects of your music will revolve about. So make sure that the baseline is built to your satisfaction. Moreover this baseline is the sequence that will be played more often in a repeating loop and you will want to make sure that something that is played repeatedly is pleasing and alluring to the ears.

Audio loops form a primary component in genres like rap and hip hop. To create the audio loops, you can use whatever instrument your creativity demands. Besides you can also add a lot of special effects to transform the mood and the tone of the music. You can compress, stretch and create a plethora of other such effects with Dub Turbo and improve the nuances of your music composition. Once you have created your first audio loop, you can add many other audio loops as you wish. After the first audio loop is done, creating the other audio loops will not be as time-consuming as the first one.

Then we have the midi drum patterns. You can use as many and as varied midi drum patterns as you wish, but make sure that you don't make the final effect a discordant cacophony. They can be set in a pattern of a group of unique notes and can be made to play as a secondary baseline.

Once these three components are created to the best of your ability and creativity, your first beat is all ready to rock!

Hip Hop Name Generator - Ever Wonder How They Come Up With Those Crazy Names

MAKE HIP HOP BEATS :

At birth, you don't get to choose your name, and it's unlikely your parents made a selection from the hip hop name genre. If you were saddled with something that doesn't suit you, change it. You can change your handle repeatedly to something that describes "the hip hop you" you are or "the rapper you" you want to become! It's quite simple, just use a hip hop nickname generator and represent your inner MC.

Hip Hop Name Generator - Ever Wonder How They Come Up With Those Crazy Names

Hip Hop artists rarely use their birth given names, with the exception of Kanye West, Missy Elliot, Rick Ross, Paul Wall, and Will Smith (formerly Fresh Prince). Rather than inventing something catchy and obscure for the masses to shout out during concerts, the aforementioned artists were deceptively clever by leaving no room for mistaken identity. By doing so, they may have missed some of the fun. Lucky for them they too can participate in creating the many possibilities their rap names could have been with a hip hop nickname generator.

Other well known hip hop artists are often referred to by pseudonyms that match their bigger than life characters. Speaking of big, you may be familiar with rap superstars like "Biggie Smalls" AKA "Notorious B.I.G.", "Big Pun", or "Chub Rock"(may they rest in peace). Let's not forget the very much alive overweight lover, "Heavy-D".

If you are of a more slender or petite stature, perhaps, "MC Lyte", "Lil Kim", "Lil Romeo" or "Lil Wayne" hit closer to home.

The indecisive may change names as much as "Puff Daddy", I mean, "Puffy", I mean "P-Ditty", no "Ditty", or is it just plain "Puh" (the sound that the letter P makes)?

Regardless of the sometimes obvious, or other times unusual story behind the name and its meaning, hip hop artist names are fun to hear and even more fun to create. You may not be as good of a freestyler, or as hard-core as some of the hypest Gangsta rappers, but you can build an honorable handle with a hip hop nickname generator.

If you still have no clue what hip hop nickname will best suit you, consider the following categorized names of popular rap artists.

Those with royal or respectable titles:
o Queen Latifah
o Sir Mix-a-lot

For the animal lovers:
o Snoop Dog
o Bow-Wow

Simply Initials:
o T.I.
o DMX
o DMC (of Run DMC)

Just Plain Fun:
o Timbaland
o Nelly
o Daddy Yankee

Making a Statement:
o Eminem
o Common
o Tu-Pac
o Nas

Flavors:
o Flava Flav
o Vanilla Ice
o Salt-N-Pepa

Confident:
o Mos Def
o LL Cool J (also initials)
o Fabulous

Stands-Alone:
o Jay-Z

Whether the information you input generates initials, animal references, tasty flavors or something Ludacris, lean with it, rock with it and have fun using a hip hop nickname generator to create your artist name and Bust-a Rhyme (...s).
