Spanish Harlem where freestyle was once loved
After reading these forums as a bystandard, I could no longer keep quiet and had to finally register to post on this forum. TKA's abandonement of freestyle has left me quite confused about the genre of music in and of itself. I have some important questions and it seems as if Tybless or TKA themselves may be the only ones who can answer them.

1. Is freestyle music really "Latin Hip-Hop". If it is, that paints an image of freestyle being "street" and very focused on rugged breakbeats. Why did the "inventors" of Latin Hip Hop choose not to further develop it in this manner?

2. Why does TKA not want to see something that they helped create succeed. As an entrepenuer, if you invent something, and that something becomes a laughing stock, human instinct would force you to go out and do whatever you can to save it.

3. A long time ago, Tybless pointed out that a big reason why freestyle was not as successful as hip hop was that no matter how many records an artist sold, his realness would still be tested, and he'd be checked by the streets. I 100% agree with that. So why would TKA ("Inventors of Latin Hip Hop/ Kings of Freestyle") come out after so many years with an album anything less than 100% hardcore breakbeat freestyle? After all, you know how the pop boy band stuff gets no respect on the streets.

4. Why would TKA first deny "ever being freestyle", then say that anything in the last 8 years was a "cheap imitation", and finally say that freestyle is singing anything over popular music. If that's the definition, then the backstreet boys, jennifer lopez, and britney spears are all freestyle. Right? But we all know that's not true.

I'm just real confused by the actions of a group that used to be my favorite. Maybe a reply could clear up all the confusion.
 
ALL THAT IS BEING DONE HERE IS THE ARTISTS ARE MAKING FREESTYLE MUSIC WITH A MORE UPDATED SOUND. THEY ARE ALSO TRYING TO MARKET IT SO THAT THEY CAN GET PAID JUST LIKE ANY OTHER TYPE OF MUSIC.
 
I haven't heard the album yet so i can't comment on the rest of the songs, but if they sound like "Feel the music", then that's not updated freestyle that we're talking about, that's called house. But if not all the songs have that type of sound I'd be interested in knowing, can anyone post...are there any freestyle songs on there?
 
I heard the albulm, and I love it. Whether its Freestlye or not, it sounds really good. I dont have the answers to your questions though, and if I did, it wouldnt be right for me to answer when Tybless should be the man to speak.
 
THERE ARE A FEW TOUCHES OF FREESTYLE ELEMENTS AND SOME OF HOUSE BUT WHAT DO YOU REALLY CONSIDER HOUSE? THE KTU REMIXES OR WHAT YOU HERE IN A MANHATTAN CLUB?
 
SEXUAL FANTASY IS BLAZIN

YO THE NEW TKA CD HAS 3 BLAZIN FREESTYLE TRACKS
MY FAVORITE NEW FREESTYLE SONG BY THEM IS
"SEXUAL FANTASY"...THAT TRACK GOT SOME HOT BREAKBEATS, CHECK IT OUT....SHOULD BE A HUGE HIT FOR THEM

Answer: Did you get the album yet?

2. Why does TKA not want to see something that they helped create succeed. As an entrepenuer, if you invent something, and that something becomes a laughing stock, human instinct would force you to go out and do whatever you can to save it.

Answer: We didn't invent anything but our own sound, and our own sound is the only thing we are responsible for saving. Don't get it twisted, we went there in our attempts at not being confined and I think we did a pretty good job. We still represent Freestyle, now you can follow us, or move out the way!

3. A long time ago, Tybless pointed out that a big reason why freestyle was not as successful as hip hop was that no matter how many records an artist sold, his realness would still be tested, and he'd be checked by the streets.

Answer: Our records will always be street, because we are street..I still be standing on the corner in the middle of Spanish Harlem getting me some empanada's from the cuchifrito store.😀 So we are still expressing what we live and see on the daily. As you get wiser the things that move you change and you as an artist have to be real to that.

To answer you and Rhoq concerning or promise on a another banger within the year..Just watch. I've been nothing but real to any of you on this board.
So our word shouldn't be questioned concerning our own biz..

Answer: That's not true by thier own marketing and self categoration. They are only separating themselves from what freestyle artist used to do o or should be doing by Title. If the big boys and girls of freestyle refreshed, and focused on making records, they would but a lot more soul into those records than most of them so called pop groups..that's just me..

For the final time, TKA does TKA music and always have. They are not really inot following anyone or anything they do them!

I'm just real confused by the actions of a group that used to be my favorite. Maybe a reply could clear up all the confusion.

Answer:I hate to see you bail off the train, but it's about to move out real fast, you'd be smart to jump back on and come take this ride with the rest of us...Because here @ CF....WE ALL R GOING!!

But we'll be back for another stop soon..think it over.

ALL ABOARD!!!!!!
 
Hold the Chu chu Tybless, I 'm jumping on!

Ty, I agree with you that TKA has always been and will be a sound onto themselves.

I don't think it matters anymore if the songs being made by a freestyle artist are banging, because all you hear on the radio are the dance/progressive/house or whatever they are calling it.


How can you really blame a "freestyle" artist for wanting to change things a bit? for wanting to have the same kind of fame that the "Britney's , N' Sync and all the rest are getting. At least TKA can back up their vocals. All I keep hearing now is how Freestyle is an underground thing, how it was a music genre by the minority for the minority.. so why not give these guys the support, let them come out from the underground and make an explosion!!!!!!!!!!!

These guys have given us great music great shows and beautiful memories. I for one give them my support. Who knows they might just go out there and kick some serious ass, and we won't be subjected to any more songs like "SLAVE TO YOU"

just my opinion

Naya 😉
 
I appreciate Tybless taking the time to try and answer these questions, but I think it was more of a runaround.

1. No, I did not get the album. Thank God for that. I heard some of it from someone else and DID NOT LIKE IT. These guys aren't even trying to keep it real. This album is NOT LATIN HIP HOP BY ANY MEANS. There are two songs that may get down like that but that's where it stops.

2. But the album sounds nothing like your old sound. How can you say you represent Freestyle if you're barely putting out any actual freestyle music. That's not fair to hardcore freestyle artists like Latin Nation, Pure Pleazure, Smooth Touch, etc.

3. Just cuz you in Spanish Harlem, it doesn't mean your MUSIC is street. Street music is Hip Hop, Gangsta Rap, Latin Freestyle, and Chicago Ghetto House. None of these genres is explored to its full essence on the album. This album has more R&B than anything. Remember when Wu-Tang Clan said "NASTY R&B NIGGAZ. THAT SH*T IS FAKE". I'm sure you're aware how the headz in the streets be lighting that stuff up. POP AND R&B IS NOT STREET.

4. Are you trying to say that if J-lo and the Backstreet Boys categorized themselves as "Freestyle", they would be? NO WAY! Put the needle to the record. Everything is different: the beats, the melodies, and the vocal style. It's simply a whole different sound and genre.

BOTTOM LINE: Freestyle was something real special, but no longer gets love on these streets the way it once did. Why? Because most of its successful artist chose to abandon it once they broke into the mainstream. TKA basically "traded their passion for glory" (like they say in the movie Rocky).

It's so sad that I have to go and research what genre of music albums of some of my favorite artists are going to be before I buy them. I know this much, when Mobb Deep drop an album I don't have to go through this. Whether it's good or not, I know Havoc and Prodigy are trying to give their fans another dosage of hardcore hip hop. That's why hip hop is where it's at and Freestyle is where it's at. Deep inside, you know I'm right.
