There's no such thing as Trip Hop. It does not exist. It's a figment of a lame cunt's imagination. There was never any such thing as Trip Hop. It was a polite thing to say when you were trying to say that you were not into the boring old Rock and Roll but you didn't dare to say Rap because you were afraid of getting kicked out of the fucking party and they wouldn't let you smoke up their weed anymore. There's Hip Hop, there's Rap music, there's Gangster Rap, there's G-Funk, there's Miami Bass, Bounce, West Coast, East Coast, Underground, but Trip Hop doesn't mean shit.

According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, the term "trip-hop" was coined in 1989,[8] though it first appeared in print in June 1994; Andy Pemberton, a music journalist writing for Mixmag, used it to describe Mo Wax Records Artist (U.K.) RPM and (American) DJ Shadow's "In/Flux" single.[9]

All hip hop with rapping is shit.
Turntablism is the hip hop art of manipulating sounds and creating music using turntables and a DJ mixer. Modern day turntablism is the closest hip hop music gets to art music.
John Oswald described the art: "A phonograph in the hands of a 'hiphop/scratch' artist who plays a record like an electronic washboard with a phonographic needle as a plectrum, produces sounds which are unique and not reproduced—the record player becomes a musical instrument."
Turntablism repertoire has written notation, creating a musical part or score for their compositions and pieces. Great examples are DJ Yoda & Heritage Orchestras Concerto, Martin Tetreaults musique concrete for turntables, Kid Koalas Your Moms Favorite DJ, eriKm and DJ Spookys Ice Music works.
Of course, the history of the turntable being used as a musical instrument though has its roots dating back to the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s when musique concrète and other experimental composers (such as John Cage, Halim El-Dabh, and Pierre Schaeffer), used them in a manner similar to that of today's producers and DJs, by essentially sampling and creating music that was entirely produced by the turntable. Cage's Imaginary Landscape No. 1 (1939) is composed for two variable speed turntables, frequency recordings, muted piano and cymbal. Even earlier, Edgard Varèse experimented with turntables in 1930, though he never formally produced any works using them.
This school of thought and practice is directly linked to the current definition of hlp hop-related turntablism, though it has had an influence on modern experimental sound artists and composers such as Christian Marclay, Kid Koala, Otomo Yoshihide, Philip Jeck, DJ QBert and Janek Schaefer. These artists are the direct descendants of people such as John Cage and Pierre Schaeffer and are often credited as a variant to the modern turntablist DJ and producer.

Except that you're wrong on all accounts, friend.
