What
does it mean to be hip hop? If you are
a rapper, if you rap, then you have the words, the lyrics, what the kids refer
to as “spitting”. But can you be hip
hop and instrumental at the same time? I
do feel like some emcee out there has had an instrumental song on their album
but I just can’t find an example right now.
Keyboard
Kid is beats. Keyboard Kid is a lot of
beats. Keyboard Kid is big beats. There are some sounds of synth and other
types of rhythm and melody that could be attributed to hip hop/rap music, but
there is just no clever lyrics.
Could
someone like Nacho Picasso, iLL LiaD or Killer Mike freestyle over this? Absolutely.
Though on some level, it also could sound like the intermission/half
time to a high school basketball game, which I have been to more than my fair
share of which is still somehow under five.
