Shout out to JOA and Wig with some more excellence, Good week.

Question: Is STBB Forever strictly hip hop? Or is it less dogmatic. Hip hop seems pretty wide open anyways but can it also be adventures in sound and production. What is the certain "je nais sai quai" a track should possess?

Yo!
What’s popping peps?

Dope amount of entries this week!
Super smooth work from everyone really tough to choose.
So Many Bangers and dope flips.

Good question. I wouldn't say it's strictly Hip Hop. But I guess that is down to how you interpret it. I feel if it reflects the sample well, makes you feel good, tap your feet, fingers or nod our head then I think it's working.

I think it depends. The origins are definitely steeped in hip hop considering Stonesthrow's history, but even they had artists like samiam who were a bit more unorthodox. I've seen a bunch of artists on here who made everything from drum n bass to crazy experimental trap music. I consider myself more of an electronic music maker, but even then I still have a lot of old-school hip hop influences like Mos Def and Dilla. I encourage people to experiment with new stuff whenever they can, as music really shouldn't be limited to single genres. Hell, a lot of the mixing techniques I use I incorporated from ambient music.

on your question Bick.. there's no rule as what kind of music to make.. we've had genre and style themed weeks of course.. like rock, the other week.
but there's been quite a range of different tracks entered over the years.. some by you
techno, dub(step), reggae, metal, drum and bass, house, ambient, soundscapes, trap, noise lol.. and styles I couldn't even try to categorize :p
hip hop is of course for a big part a sample based genre.. and it's called a beat battle.. so the beat part weighs in for a good amount.
we're probably not gonna have a certain style rule this week.. gonna have a little talk with Nindyo soon.

feel free to do whatever makes you happy here!.

Congrats on the win! Saw the vid Nindyo posted over on IG, was really cool
