11 | Alternative hip-hop (also known as alternative rap) is a SubGenre of hip-hop music that is defined in greatly varying ways. Allmusic defines it as a form of hip- that refuses to conform to any of the traditional genres of rap, such as gangsta, bass, hardcore, and party rap. Instead, alternative hip-hop artists push the boundaries of the medium by blurring genres--drawing from other musical traditions like funk and pop/rock, as well as jazz, soul, alternative rock, punk, reggae, and even folk (though many acts, particularly older ones, do still adhere to a traditional boom bap framework); and focusing on lyrical themes, concepts, and subject matter that mainstream hip-hop tends to ignore. In some circles, the sub-genre is also known as "backpack rap" or "hipster hip-hop", due to its perceived greater appeal to fans of genres like AlternativeRock and Indie. |
