Regionalism – Hip Hop Flavors

February 24th, 2008 by Daron

I read an article somewhere a couple of weeks ago that said hip hop was shifting from national acts with massive sales to more regional flavors. I did some investigating of various regions and stumble across B-More, a style of clubby/party hip hop out of Baltimore. It’s great. It sounds kinda like Detroit “booty”, “ghetto house” and old school hip hop mixed together. Mid tempo club bpm 120/130, 808’s and dirty lyrics. Like this…. shake it to the ground

I’ll write more on regionalism later. I have much more to add.
