New Jay Z Ghetto Techno

:smh:

I've heard much better Techno tracks.

There's nothing ghetto or techno about this song.

This is ghetto tech ( with a little jittin thrown in.)
Gets decent around 4:00 minute mark onward


When the sista's was into this in the late 90's shit got wild.
 
Nah. He saw Pitbull finding success with that club shit and he saw the opportunity to do the same.

I really cant say cause I dont really hear Pit Bull music like that. And it seems Pit Bull may have touched on that but thought his music was Reggae Tone or something like that. Im amazed cause I dont get to the club much anymore but Im in FL and I dont hear his music. On that note someone also talked about techno rap not being new its just he is taking a step out there as the biggest artist in hip hop to do that. Which I can respect. I would probably rock this in the whip once in a blue, not necessary my forte but quiet as kept he saying some fly shit. lol.

Peace

To poster above me.

Thats dope but me personally couldnt be around that sound for more then like 3min. I cant and wouldnt dance like that but think Jay did a good job mixing the 2 genres.
 
The track is just ok, but I give him props for trying something different in a climate of hip hoppers that fear originality
 
He getting the crossover money. I can see the pop fans liking this.

He's been getting the crossover money. Who do You think buys rap cd's for the most part? white teens


What do You think Big Pimpin, Hard Knock Life etc etc was ?
 
I've been liking the tracks I heard from the album...liking; not loving :dunno:

I expect many to grow on me...."Run this Town" certainly has :yes:
 
I hated this when I first heard it...but the more I listen to it...this shit is some nice club shit. You've gotta listen to it in the right context. I wouldn't drive around listening to it in the whip but I would throw some shots down with this playing in the club!

:yes:
 
This needs to grow on me... I may have to hear it in a club instead of off pc speakers to really feel it.
 
Song sucks. Album will prolly suck but I ain't mad @ dude. He tryna new shit and all it takes is for one new trend to pop off and he good.
 
I love it..............the dope pushing rappers days will be numbered! muhahahahahahahahahahahhaamuahahahahahahahahahahahahah.
 
:rolleyes:

Jay could put out an album of just silence and you'd be talkin bout...

'This is a big step forward, not only for Jay but for hip hop in general. Of course you lames can't get it but I do because we smoke the same cigars.'
:lol:


anyway, the song is wack. i ain't hear shit that impressed me so far from the album. the young skinny jeans wearing scarf's in the summer simi- homo niggas would like this and the other songs that leaked.
 
that is not ghetto - that sounds mad ghey !!!!tho - my niggas ninja sonic will show you some real ghetto-tech

It's good to see that regional music and dancing still exists in this age of homogenized corporate-controlled bullshit. You're also 100% on point about Jay-Z's track - it ain't ghetto and it ain't techno. It sounds like the 90s-baby garbage making the rounds these days. If anything, it looks like an old dude trying to stay relevant.
 
What happened Jay? Glad this garbage ain't on the album. Still waiting to hear some fire from Jay, definitely been a minute.

Thing is....ghetto tech is popular.....overseas. If you look at the shirts of the dancers in the video they read "Jittin ain't dead". Look who's surrounding the dancers. All white folks! The sound and the dances that went with them aren't being picked up. Shit I remember those dressed to sweat parties and when this shit came on, it was intense! It's like black folks (shit americans in general) looked at techno and said "pass". And I've never really understood how hip hop cats never took to it. Seems like a natural progression to me. And why aren't hip hop artists running to dubstep? The rapper that incorporates dubstep beats into their sound correctly has a chance to upset the market.

There are so many other ways to stay "relevant". Shit Jay created his own lane so I would think he'd be able to really get experimental. This "Ghetto Techno" is not experimental.
 
Someone better post some tracks NOW :dance::dance::dance:

I had a hard drive full of em months ago and that shit went kaput. Now I just make sure to have the cd's on hand to speed up and down the expressway. I guess I can upload a couple of those but they're a couple of years old. Fuck it...I'll get it done soon.....

And niggas need to revive the ghetto tech scene. Like I said when this shit comes on...women go hard (once they've become accustomed to the music....it's a culture shock at first). Best lap dance I've ever had was when the dj put this shit on (shout out to all stars/platinum on 8 mile in Detroit)
 
this shit is terrible... i just watched the Reasonable Doubt DVD, what happened to that man? I mean creatively, not even financially, intergrity etc....

You're right about the music being popular overseas. Ghettotech, Detroit and Electro are huge over there. Hell, even the hip-hop/rap subgenres of Miami-Bass, Freestyle, G-funk, mobb music and even NOLA "Bounce" has a better following in Europe than over here.

It seems everyone appreciates or supports hip-hop related or derived artforms except us (unless it's making money). We were all about electro-hip hop in the early to late 80s. It was the dominant sound in the west coast and in the south (in the form of Miami Bass). We left electro hip-hop for greener pastures instead of preserving that part of our history.

In Europe, the kids picked up on that part of culture and ran with it. That's why the Egyptian Lover can do a show before a huge crowd (many of whom weren't even born when "What is a DJ if he can't Scratch" came out) in Paris, Rome or Berlin and make a gang of $$$ while doing it. If he did a show in the states, the turnout wouldn't be nearly as huge, and the crowd will consist mainly of old fools like myself who used allowance money to purchase "My House on the Nile".

I really shouldn't complain though. There is an underground scene which isn't afraid to experiment. There are also rappers like KRS-One who weren't afraid to spit over a DnB track (I think Zion I experimented w/ DnB as well). That's another thing . . . alot of these black 90s babies don't even know about Jungle/Drum&Bass and are quick to dismiss it as "white music".

I'm just not feeling the new Jay-Z track because it still sounds too close to the pseduo-electro/pseudo-techno fruityloops trance presets w/ auto-tune that's all the rage these days. I really wish Jay had gotten with the true heads such as Juan Atkins or Derrick May. Not only would there be some authenticity for Jay's track, there would a chance for the Detroit cats to get some well-deserved shine.
