You're right that people have been incorporating EDM/house into popular music for a while now. But with Kanye being the most influential figure in mainstream hip hop, we can now say that the sound has "arrived" in hip hop. Rhythm-driven house music is already popular in the UK and among certain demographics in the US, but it hadn't fully touched hip hop yet. Kanye is introducing that sound to the hip hop masses, to people who would normally listen to artists like Chief Keef. And just like everything else he's done, this will probably lead to people hopping onto that sound.Crazy that people are using terms like "house" and "EDM" to describe a Kanye West album.
I get his whole "experimentation" steez and all that.
But is incorporating "EDM" into your production even progressive in 2013? He already did that with "Stronger" and even "New Workout Plan".
Every Pop group has been doing that **** for like the last 5 years.
Son, please don't go there. Because you sound incredibly lost right now.....
I already mentioned how Kanye had played around with EDM ages ago. There is an entire genre of EDM/Hip Hop called Trap.
Certain demographics in the US? EDM is probably the most popular genre in America right now. Look at the charts, turn on the radio, look at the demand for tickets to all the festivals.
Daft Punk already had a #1 album and single. Swedish House Mafia. Calvin Harris. David Guetta. Do these names ring a bell?
So Kanye and people hopping on this after all the Pop groups is some kind of accomplishment to you? Rihanna's done it. Katy Perry's done it.
From an artist that swears he's pushing artistic "boundaries"?
Kanye fans are adorable. They will twist **** around any way they can so that an L doesn't look like an L.
Stop trying to talk about music if you don't even know what's going on with music.
