[linebaugh]

Even if there was a way to title this thread in a less revolting way I still dont think it will please many but here goes it

I posted that hinder song on accident but I thought it was so funny that I abondoned the thread's core concept in hopes that no post is ever made beneath, to kind of finish 'the bit', but I guess Ill get back on track

I dont know if it'll ever become a fully realized sound but I think there is some potential here. Thats essentially that Vegyn artists brand -hip hop idm guy- but his actual projects are pretty bland.

maybe what Id really want is more hip hop with aphex synths

Line i say this with no offence but this is such a RYM/4chan idea for rap i'm surprised nobody has shared that one horrible youtube vid that's how "how to get into experimental hip hop"

It just SCREAMS 2002 to me

I admitted its a very embarrasing premise in my initial post

is the guy in that JPEGMAFIA vid going through heroin withdrawl?

also looking up this Vegyn guy i found out his dad was one of the co-writers of "Torn" (yes Natalie Imbruglia) and two singles by Pixie Lott

oh and he fucking produced The Cure's Pornography...what the raas?

quite a restrained comment compared to what i was expecting from you @WebEschatology

I think youre missing it just slightly Web ( I didnt explain it tbf). The point isnt so broadly experiemental hip hop or even dance/electronic music inspired hip hop, but hip hop that uses the retro quintesentially 90's idm sounds that you might find bundled together in a fruity loops sound pack. In fact its preferable if the song isnt 'experimental' at all like the first two I posted.

i feel like this is going to require putting down a list of specific sounds or whatever equipment those guys were using in the 90s in order for this to work. I know you're not broadly going for experimental hip hop or whatever but the kind of music that had ambitions or inavertedly sounded like that often tended to come from that particular branch of rap.

like you get people who listen to Chief Keef tapes and say "oooh it seems Keef's been listening to Hype Williams" and i gurantee if you asked him about it he'd just give you a blank stare

Theres probably a few ways to take this but the songs I was thinking of were anything that sounds like those handful of aphex twins songs that could be called 'crossover hits.' So soft synths/pads and jittery meters making a quaint atmosphere thats both sleepy and cute and touch surreal.
