Is Freestyle Music On its last Breaths

🤖 AI Summary

No AI summary has been generated for this thread yet.
Even if it is, we should still support those that are trying to keep it alive.

For example, the new artists, the old ones, the dj's, the independant labels, and the night clubs that feature "Freestyle" nights. Until all of the above have finally come to a halt, then Freestyle is officially dead.
 
Poor Freestyle? So many songs just plainly suck. I love freestyle but some stuff i hear makes me embarrased to let people know i listen to it. Old school freestyle was great but that was the 80's and when i hear a new song that sounds 80's it kills me cuz people make fun of freestyle cuz they say itz dated. house music, hip hop and r&b have all progressed but freestyle just seems to be stuck. The Roc Project song "Never" is what freestyle should sound like not. Amber has a remix of "Anyway" by Chris Cox that is reminscent of Jocelyn's "Do You Miss Me" and it sounds great. Too bad that most of this genre's music is made in a basement with awful vocalist and even worse writers.
 
U know what I do..............I copy and paste the info of the History of Freestyle and put it on other community sites, yes I do also show the copyright, so that I dont have to get in trouble, but anyway I showed the history of freestyle to online community site, and the replies that people sent were "oh damn, I never knew that part of HiP Hop(mind you that freestyle is a part of hip hop), and people now on that site now the Real Definition of freestyle, instead of the marketting that the streets do, but anyway, I doubt if the genre is on it's last breath if anything I think it's been on a rise lately, mind you like maybe 50% or more of BeatStock goers are freestyle fanatics

Welcome to the club!
 
As far as Freestyle being on it's last breath I'm not sure.
Let me share an experience I just had this passed weekend, I went to FYE music store and asked if they had any of the Freestyle mega mix CD'S or fierce Freestyle mixes. The clerk's reply Almost sent me throught the roof. He said that they don't carry under ground rap music, so I explained to him what I wanted wasn't rap so he stated " No we really don't carry to much reto 80's music" That's when my wife had to drag me out of the store!!
The problem in my opinion is the radio and record industries are ramming Hip-Hop and Rap down everyones throat. The new genration really don't have a chance to know hoe good Freestyle can be.

hi how you doing

yeah i agree with the post that getting new stuff out is hard. and

you hardly hear it? something that has to be worked on. but anyone

whos read my stuff knows. that for me lighter is better. maybe the

industry has to target a club like back in the days??


and use that place as stageing area for new talent?. but when it

comes to the amount of people hearing it?. i speak with about 17

years of dancing disco and clubbing experience.

belive me?

freestyle is best kept around people who can keep it strong. not

just anyone and not just any crowd? lol.


what we have to do? is like i said target a club or two?. and set

something up where that place would be like the spot for new talent.


etc,.

like back in the days? the tunnel in '88. was the place you went to.

to hear new house etc,.

and 1018's was the place for club.


well its simple we just find a place. that would be willing to let

new stuff come through? and then tie it up with ktu somehow. and thats

how you get new stuff out. simple?


i think? that we should go for of a formula like we had back in the

Days.


where we didnt have a lot of people following it? but the ones that

did. were a very solid core. and kept the stuff really alive in the

tri state?.

but the reason why i say to keep it small all the time. and to keep it with a small solid core?

is cause it could go out of style again like it did in between 90 and 95.

and we all know how dark those years were freestyle wise? lol.

in order to prevent that we have to develop a solid core. so that

when new people loose interest again. And they would cause they did in

early nineties!.

then that solid core of like 100,000 or a million people could keep it alive?

like disco?

disco has prob come and gobe 2 times already

76 through 79

90 through 94

and prob come back again

But it dont matter how many times it comes back? or dont.

Cause disco has a solid following forever that can keep it alive

regardless of fads. or what the crowd thinks or dont think?


we need a core that strong!

that has 1.5 or 2 maybe even 2 million or so 20 year followers. or

else freestyle could die again.

i know for a fact in miami you got at least 250 000 people down there

that follow freestyle. because you have at least 3 dedicated freestyle stations in kendal?

and one 3 others that play freestyle.


like that.

i know we have one hear in long island that plays 80's club and freestyle. but we dont have 2 or 3 like in miami.

anyway we go to build a solid core. so that we dont have to depend on pople likeing it or not?



then go out and seek new people?

thats what i think.

how you doing again?

remember i feel very strongly about that ??. thats one i wont give up

or give in on lol.

we should keep it small and solid.

Cause i remember how many people Back In The Days. people that i thought

were true and from around the way etc,.lol.

and would listened to freestyle forever ! etc,.

you know d.j.s tape people who made tapes. listeners club people. etc,.

that were hard core hard core

i mean hard core club people.


not even 1 year after the eighties end? in '90.

ABONONED

freestyle like in 90 and 91. to listen to hip hop. rave. rap. techno.

nineties house etc,.



freestyle lets face it was basically abonded in 90 through 95.

etc,.

so like i said remember those years and how every body dropped it to flock

to that hip hop and all the crap that followed in the nineties?

till ktu came back on in 97?

Do you guys want that to happen again lol? or worse go

through that again?? lol.


im telling you. we got to build a core. that can weather fads! lol.


like i said disco has a core that could weather anything at this

point.



thats how we got to get! so that we can be 40 and 50 and even 60. and

still if we feel like it hear some freestyle from a store or web site.

or even go dancing. disco people got it like that and it looks?

like they always will.

why dont we? you cant just pop into a club and hear freestyle lol?

thats what we got to aim toards
