I mean, I just don't see how so I'd appreciate if someone can explain this to me. In my opinion, just because you add some bells and whistles to something doesn't make it original.

Don't they still sample people? Don't they still loop up very simple beats? So if I add a flute to the sample I'm using, how does that make it a DIFFERENT TYPE of Hip Hop?

If I get a bike, and put different wheels on it from the ones it came with, does that mean I have a new bike???

Ok, a little more detail...

I know that just like everything else, music is regional. So are people's accents, their lifestyles, and everything else. Just because people from the south rap, why does that make it different and seperate from Hip Hop? Especially if the beats and lyrics are almost completely the same. I mean the slang is different, but it's still about the same old stuff.

Also, I know that Crunk was named after Hip Hop came out. Actually after it was already mainstream too. But what makes it special and different enough to not just all be called Hip Hop?

Example. It's very easy to tel the difference between Soft Rock, Alternative and Metal. They're about different things, relay different experiences, and are just musically different from each other. I don't see that with other types of Hip Hop though. At least not enough to stand out.

The answer is in your question. All of those styles have names right, so a name distinguishes one thing from another. Not everyone wants to hear hip hop that is Chopped and Screwed, or Crunk music. Thats why it has a name and is a DIFFERENT TYPE of hip hop. A lot of hip hop is regional and that TYPE of hip hop is dominate down south.


Just like its easy to tell the difference between soft rock and hard rock. It is easy to tell the difference between, Crunk, Chopped and Screwed, Westcoast Gangster, Hardcore, and Alternative hip hop.

Crunk music is RAP that talks about drugs and partying alot. It came from Tennessee and deals with hard drugs or lots of alcohol etc


Chopped and Screwed is music RAP that has been chopped up by a DJ and slowed down so the voice sounds heavy then they go back and repeat the sounds they chopped if it sounds good being replayed a few times in a row.


IE: Crunk- I just popped four xanaxes and smoked a rock ....


IE: Chopped - You would know it if you heard it.

No. I don't think crunk, and chopped & screwed, & hyphy music hip-hop. Just a different style of music. Not hip-hop.

crunk, chopped, and screwed are different forms of hiphop..

almost like "sub-catagories" of it.. hip-hop is basically music, with rhythms and beats that are not very melodic, crunk was a term created long after hip-hop was.. so they're catagories of it..
