Now many fans to check previous works of a director and Cowboy Bebop anime is one of the most influential ones (even now available on Netflix).
#Lo fi hip hop series
Even if the name might not ring the bell immediately, but if I add that he is the guy behind Cowboy Bebop (both the anime and the live action series on Netflix), also known for Space Dandy and Blade Runner: Black Lotus – he should ring a bell. I would further add and it is part of the legacy already: the director of the anime is Shinichiro Watanabe. I strongly believe that being a successful anime as well as the love of anime OST fans meeting with a mixed hip hop genre offered growth for the genre. An edo period anime with vinyl vibe hip hop beats OST produced by Nujabes himself. As for the break point in his career, to my point of view was the OST of Samurai Champloo. From timeline perspective it is still misleading to see that he sadly died in 2010, though lots of posthumous releases since suggests his growing fame. I mean at least intentionally, though it would be lame mentioning that here Wiki authors were at least consequent and added “lo-fi hip hop” term to his page.Īnyways let us leave that part behind.
Nujabes could be more close to lo-fi hip hop I guess. Mixing it along with hip hop and performing with other artists throughout his career.įun fact: look for the term “lo-fi” on his Wiki page. He was not aiming to produce calming 85 bpm, almost vocalless beats, he was more experimenting the use of samplers to make them sound more human. On one side as he used Akai MPC samplers that offer more lo-fi-ish results we may indeed say he was producing lo-fi beats. Furthermore, he was one of the pioneers of humanising machine music according several resources. J Dilla was an underground hip hop artist and beat maker, who sadly died in early 2006 (vs becoming popular in 2017…). About J Dilla and NujabesĪt this stage Wiki is quite misleading but let me try to sort it out from you based on a few thoughts of my own. It states that lo-fi hip hop became popular in ’10 starting with the 24-hour radio stations on YouTube such as LoFi Girl (Chilled Cow before).įinally, the article finishes that it became widely popular in 2017 among YouTube streamers and the godfathers of the genre are J Dilla and Nujabes. I am not fully agreeing with it to be honest, but if you check the page linked above, not much of an extra to be found there. Definition of Lo-fi Hip HopĪccording to Wiki: “Lofi hip hop (also known as chillhop and lofi beats to study to) is a form of downtempo that combines elements of hip hop, chill-out music, and lofi music.” You are familiar with lo-fi music in general either. From the previous articles you may already know what is lo-fi all about.
