Abstract hip-hop

The abstract hip-hop is current Hip-hop dissociating remainder of the scene Rap by many aspects: topics very far away from the usual concerns from the hip-hop (made company, gang S, Criminalité, Politique, inequalities) and where one more readily finds of the poetic words , abstract, in general stripped of any weak-willed message and/or committed, but in charge of a substance wanting to be éthérée, subtle, lyric. Certain productions concerned with the abstract hip-hop can be completely stripped of words, in which case one indicates sometimes this instrumental sub-genus like “ hip-hop ”.

The Tempo S are slower, and selected in a sound range often experimental, sometimes difficult of access, generally making the good share with long synthetic tablecloths associating with sonorities of varied horizons, worked together using the usual tools of the scene DJ: mix be, Sample S, scratches more rarely. Some compare the emergence of the abstract hip-hop (in the middle of the the Nineties) with the appearance of the progressive Rock at the end of the Sixties: one indeed finds the sound grandiloquence, use of musical sets of themes borrowed from other kinds, pieces the long and packed, complex and frequently impenetrable words, the development of “concept album S”, a pushed technical research, etc

From his distance of the identity compost of the rap and thus of association to a particular culture, one could expect a broad diffusion of this music. However, the abstract hip-hop remains on the contrary still confined with a minor fringe of the audience hip-hop, in spite of a critical success undeniable.
