2. trip hop 4 up, 9 down

An obnoxious catch-all term that, like so many others, used to mean something. Say what you will about tempos and influences, but the fact remains that the term "trip hop" has been co-opted by under-informed marketers wanting to cash in a on groups and artist with actual talent such as Tricky, Portishead and Massive Attack.

Sneaker Pimps, Morcheeba, and Hooverphonic are sometimes called trip hop groups.

Don't worry, I'm sure mommy will give you a "That's very nice dear" comment when you pretend to write like you're a big time rapper.

But actually it's all g, you can say they's the king of trip hop or whatever, but in my opinion, their version of trip hop sucks, no matter what term they claim to have coined. Authur fucken lyman should sue all of you f**ks.


The us does that shit better, always has always will.

The really funny thing is that back in the nineties everyone it was impossible to find anyone who'd actually admit to being trip hop. "We see what we do as just hip hop, we don't need to call it anything else."

Smith & Mighty - Now there's a blast from the past.

Originally the term Trip Hop pertained exclusively to a form of instrumental dance music that was developed by DJ's in New York, who started off by playing records at down tempo speeds (eg. playing 45rpm records at 33rpm), but now is generally accepted to be the style we recognise today. The term Trip Hop (in the modern sense) was first used by the British music press to label the now familiar "Bristol sound" of Portishead et al.
