If you've listened to artists tracks like 'Ultra-Sonic' AKA Public Domain's CD "Hard Hop Superstars" you will notice they refer to a 'genre' known as "HardHop" . Just wondering if this is just a made-up genre or is it a real Electronic Dance genre? I just searched it up on Google and there's a group called HardHop Heathen. Basically it's a combination of HipHop sounds that's mixed in with some Deep Bass Electro-type music. Sounds cool anyways - this is the youtube vid i'm talking about:

Used to have the album on vinyl and it's quite confusing as you can play it at both 33 and 45 and it sounds perfectly fine at both, so I never knew if I was playing a song at the "right" speed! o.o

Hi everyone who replied, thanks for the replies. You've shown me some 'breakbeat' type tracks from the likes of Adam Freeland, etc but haven't answered my question as to whether 'Hardhop' is a real genre or not? As for that track, "Too beautiful" by BLUEZONE , Triquatra, - I've never really fancied that tune. It's not even as good as "Faraway" by Pulpshock. LOL
I know there are similar Nu SKool Breaks artists like Ron D Core, Omar Santana , Rob G. etc but are they considered 'Hardhop'?

but there's this album by DJ Omar Santana called 'Tricked Out' and it says, "hardhop, acid and brutal beats'. So it is possibly a real/imagined genre? as for Handbag House, some people will argue with you til they're blue in the face that it IS a real genre. LOL
quote:Originally posted by djDMS: Short answer, no it's not a genre.
Any examples are just rap over a different genre.
I remember 'Hip-house' being a thing 30 years ago - but that was nothing more than Rap over a house/acid/whatever beat.
