WELCOME TO HELL: The History and Influence of MEMPHIS RAP [2018 Documentary]

reupload from the main channel ‪@Turismo4k‬ Memphis rap is a style of Hardcore Hip Hop that originated in Memphis, Tennessee during the early 1990s. DJ Spanish Fly devised the sound bringing the electronically-produced Electro over to Memphis and decided to give it a gritty spin after he wanted something that represented the bleak Memphis environment. The style is characterized by its production with minimalist half-time drum machine programming and droning bass and often aggressive rapping with a double time flow. Other influential artists include Gangsta Pat, DJ Squeeky, Tommy Wright III, Al Kapone, Kingpin Skinny Pimp, Project Pat and most notably Three 6 Mafia for pushing the sound further. Early Memphis Rap was largely distributed via cassette tape by the artists themselves which has led to the genre being associated with lo-fi aesthetics, with some modern creators of Memphis Rap making deliberate use of lo-fi elements. The genre is also associated with sinister or satanic imagery in lyrics and production alike. Memphis rap's composition is often DIY with a drum machine compared to other hip hop styles that were built on samples. This forced many producers’ hand to experiment with sounds that were unheard-of at the time, this DIY attitude later created a subculture that led to a prominent underground community. However, their DIY methods did not totally rule out Memphis rappers sampling old Soul or Funk records, they also sampled horror movie soundbites on occasion. Memphis rap was crucial in the early 2000s Horrorcore movement as the genre's hardcore nature and evil themes perfectly suited the style's frightening lyrics. It also laid the groundwork, along with Miami Bass and Dirty South, for the club-inspired Crunk. The style fell out of popularity by the early 2000s, with many Memphis rappers abandoning the genre in favour of other hip hop styles. However, the style was kept alive by 2000s rappers such as Evil Pimp and Mr. Sche. In the early to mid 2010s, the genre underwent another underground Memphis rap revival; artists such as Lil Ugly Mane and SpaceGhostPurrp's Raider Klan gained a following through music blogs.
