Any1 here knows something about Trip-hop?

Music Forum

I don't know much anout trip-hop, Just heard it from my fellas, they are talking on it lately.
It was said that Trip-hop is kinda music which comes from hip-hop or something ,I'm not sure about that. But I found some bands like Massive Attack. Tricky,Portishead, blabla,,,,,,,,,,,,
You can check em out, ,,,,, anyone here have ever head of em before? coz i wantta know something more about em.

P.S I am kinda listening to some of Portishead and Massive Attack. But dont understand quit well about da differences between hip-hop or rap , whatsoever. And the only thing I got is that some of the music make my mates getting nuts, they even told me that they' gonna suicide if I don't stop da music. OMg, that really made me Lmao, no big deal isn't it?

I love Portishead. Massive Attack are alright. Are you sure they're trip-hop?

Yeah, they are... that kinda downtempo music with hip-hoppishly influenced beats...can kinda be thought of as soft rock mixed with hip hop too and dance. Kinda like if a musical clown threw up, really. I can't stand the stuff, personally, but to each his own I guess. Hooverphonic are alright, I like one of their songs

schmiggens: yes, I am quit sure about that, they are Trip-hop. like what gaboman said.
And thx, gaboman, thx for your explaination.



I think I like both of Massive attack and Portishead, not becoz of the song, but da rhythm. I like that kind of feeling.

I would've thought trip-hop would be more like techno/ dance stuff that they play at raves. Hip-hop music for people who are tripping.

But I'll take your explanations to heart. Cheers Gabo!

Are Massive Attack still around? Haven't heard anything from them in a long time.

I think they released an album a few months back. Something about a dog, I dunno, I wasn't paying attention
