Forget about instruments!

Forget about melody!

Just use a simple atonal drum beat and have some broad TALKING over it.

1. Hollaback Girl - Gwen Stefani
2. My Humps - Black Eyed Peas
3. ?

Add to the list! I think it's a new movement.

i thought it was already called electroclash.

and actually, i'm all for it.

Drop It Like It's Hot

any number of Neptunes tracks.

That damn hideous song by Lumidee Uh Oh

Hell, its off key, even.

That pop punk band Say Anything has a sick ass unreleased track called Wow, I can get Sexual too which fits this description. But it's hot as all hell. Except the shitty bridge.

I Love New York - Madonna

Hollaback Girl is a blatant Housequake rip-off.

almost every neptunes beat r ripped from Mj or P!

I would have thought "Justify My Love" but that's very old. Nothing 'new' about it.

Be careful or Ingrid Chavez will sue u!

Make Up by Vanity 6 is often cited as an early example of proto-electroclash.

VoicesCarry said:

Your 2 Forget abouts just eliminated me from participation.

I avoid this kind of thing like the plague.

My kids don't even listen to this stuff.

It's called hiphop. Just that some people are better at it than others.

CinisterCee said:

I call it . Let's not associate real hip hop with this trash

VoicesCarry said:

Hardy harr harr.

But seriously, sparse instrumentation can certainly inhance a song. Remember Prince's Kiss?

VoicesCarry, have you heard "Frank Sinatra" by Miss Kittin and The Hacker?

You'd love it.

I don't know about u guys, but Hollaback Girl made me want to dance. It was my generation's Hey Mickey (Toni Basil).

Psst! That actually had a melody and was a completely original soundscape. Neptunes Stock Production #3945858b, however, is NOT.

VoicesCarry said:

Lets not slam the Neptunes. Any reasonable person would say that they have contributed numerous quality productions, most of which are NOT cookie cutter.

"Kiss" actually has a chord progression (12 bar blues) and melody.

dreamfactory313 said:

Yeah, too bad those were all in 2001 and they've been repeating themselves ever since. And too bad they stole most of their beats from P and other funketeers.

VoicesCarry said:

I beg to differ. The Neptunes have written and produced tons of innovative music in many different genres since 2001. Where have u been?

dreamfactory313 said:

I think you should start a thread on the Neptunes unoriginality (wait, that's already been done, so don't bother). Most orgers will agree with me. But you're a BEP fam, so I understand why you'd have that POV, since their stuff can be so similar.

It wouldnt matter to me who agreed with u. It wont change my mind. I appreciate a wide variety of different artits, so u cant define or pigeonhold me to any one genre or style. U not appreciating the Peas doesnt hold u up as some authority on how good or bad a particular artist or style is. The way u are carrying on leads me to believe that u need to trash other people and their tastes in order to make u feel better.
Again, if u dont like something, thats cool, but lets not brow beat people with what U think is the standard. That shit is just rude and disrespectful.

dreamfactory313 said:

You already did that in the My Humps thread, so there you are.

I did no such thing. U started the hate thread, not me.
