'Still remember that mixtape my cousin lent me back in the day, during those New Wave days, and hearing somethin' different indeed caught my attention. Very precisely mixed by another legendary mobile at that time,
BURNSCODE (whose members were also alumni of our school), that collection of classic dirty rap tunes mostly from 2 Live Crew, like One and One, Me So Horny, Doo Way Ditty, Sally, Throw The D, We Want Some
P*^&sy, and more, wowed me up big time and it may sound weird, but it was also one of the mixes, which inspired and influenced me much to get into this hobby of beatmatching and DJ'ing.
Dirty rap, also known as booty rap, porn rap, or sex rap, is a subgenre of
hip hop music that contains lyrical content revolving mainly around
sex and
sexual subjects. The lyrics are overtly sexually explicit and graphic, often to the point of either cartoonishness or extrem
e offensiveness. Musically, dirty rap often contains a distinctly
bass-driven sound, as the subgenre actually arose from the popular
Miami bass rap scene. However, dirty rap has recently been heavily influenced by
Baltimore club,
Ghetto house, and
ghettotech.
In 1986, the controversial rap group
2 Live Crew pioneered "dirty rap" with their
Miami bass debut
2 Live Crew Is What We Are. With the graphic sexual content of their X-rated party rhymes and songs such as "We Want P#$sy," 2 Live Crew garnered much negative publicity. However, it wasn't until their 1989
As Nasty As They Wanna Be that dirty rap became a legitimate genre. Unlike previous 2 Live Crew albums, As Nasty As They Wanna Be featured much less humorously sexual songs and much more gritty sexual songs, with critics citing the album as "outright
pornography". The album featured the hit single "
Me So Horny", as well as "D.K. Almighty" (AKA "Dick Almighty"), "C'Mon Babe," "Dirty Nursery Rhymes," "The F#$k Shop," and
"If You Believe in Having Sex". After being attacked by conservative critics, censors, and attorneys, 2 Live Crew responded with the 1990 album
Banned in the USA, a much more political and angry album. However, Banned still featured the group's signature sex raps, including "
Face Down, Ass Up" and "Strip Club."
On the other hand, Miami bass (also known as booty music or booty bass, a term that may also include other genres, such as
dirty rap), is a type of
hip hop music that became popular in the 1980s and 1990s. The use of the
Roland TR-808 sustained
kick drum, raised dance tempos, and occasional sexually explicit lyrical content differentiate it from other hip hop subgenres.
BTW, all tracks included have no profanities and explicit lyrics as I've mostly used the clean and edited versions so as not to offend anyone, so NO PARENTAL ADVISORY required. (hehehe, don't wanna end up like 2 Live crew if you know what I mean, hahahaha)
