Tempo Tribe

Alias is identified as a word that is used to indicate that a named person is also known or more familiar under another specified name. In music, aliases can be used for a multitude of reasons include: signifying eras of an artist, creating a new identity of an artist or to develop/experiment with a new genre to their audience. Kendrick, Kanye, J. Cole and Pusha T are some of many artists that have aliases that they are commonly known as. In this episode of the Tempo Tribe hosted by Meron we will be discuss with our cohosts Dylan and Denzel on the alias of an artist and what do they signify for their audiences.

Artists/musicians fall off all the time, whether it be due to controversy, lack of creativity or lack of album sales. Artists may also come back from falling off, perhaps due to getting a stride back in their artist abilities or they may come back from falling off in a completely different avenue (whether it be fashion, business or etc.). In this episode of the Tempo Tribe hosted by our favorite model/DJ, Denzel, we will be discussion with our cohosts Dylan and Meron on what makes an artist fall off? And who has truly fallen off in the industry? Intro music: Panama Rain Prod. by Danya Vodovoz | https://danyavodovoz.bandcamp.com/track/panama-rain | Royalty-free music

Is mumble rap and trap rap running the rap genre, or is traditional rap still king? Is R&B dead? What is the dominant sound in R&B these days? What about pop? Is there a house music takeover bubbling under the surface for this current decade?

Boys need love too! Over the years there have been plenty of discussion and studies focused on female body imagery, but what about the fellas? How has the promotion of the buff bods affected how men see themselves? Was commodifying the male physique a mistake? Is the hypermasculinity in hip hop a factor? And why is Mark Wahlberg to blame?! We also crack jokes on Ice Spice and Da Baby. Check the Rhyme at the 19:31 mark!

Mumble Rap since its conception in the 2010s has been a prominent subgenre of Rap/Hip-Hop. However, with any genre comes those who support or deny the genre. What is unique about mumble rap is its use of production to carry the track. On the opposite end of hip-hop, Lyricism has been the skeleton of the genre since its conception. Many artists have made their mark in the industry including J.Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Tupac.. the list goes on. In this episode for the Tempo Tribe, Denzel, Dylan and Meron discuss if Mumble Rap has overshadowed Lyricism in the Rap/Hip-Hop industry?

TikTok has long been an entertaining, short-form video app with many different types of educational, life experiences, and funny moments shared on the platform. The app has also been an important medium in allowing indie artists to share their music with a wider and more relevant audience, including blowing artists up in some cases, such as @in.iko, @taiverdes, and @pinkpantheress. But with the ease of sharing content, comes the excessive promotion of new singles by artists backed by record labels. This includes utilizing popular influencers, micro-influencers, and even TikTok execs themselves (!!) to promote new music to the average TikTok user. Tune in as the Tempo Tribe discusses if TikTok is good or bad for the music industry, presently and in the future!

Lately it seems the world over has started to recognize the smooth sounds of Afrobeats, with CKay's “Love Nwantiti” hitting #1 this year as one of many examples. So the Tribe decided to take a look at back to the Motherland and break it all down based on their own experiences. What is Afrobeats? Which artist are running the genre? Does Ghana even have any artists in play?? Did Drake bring it to the West? And how come East Africa getting left out?! From Fela to Burna we celebrate the most rhythmic and joyous genre around!

The Music Industry has existed for ages. Its sparked relationship between the artist and the record label that can be described as "ebb's and flows". From the perspective of the average person it seems like all its meant to be, you are able to create art that you are paid currency for. Some artists such as Chance the Rapper preach that the music industry isn't a smart decision and encourage independent artistry. However, we wanted to know what else is there to joining the music industry? Is there a catch? Who better than someone who is part of the music industry to ask such questions.

Jay-Z, aka Jigga Man, aka Hova, has amassed arguably the most successful career in the rap game and his longevity has spanned three decades(!)

The descriptor of conscious rapper has been thrown around over the past few years, but what does that really mean? Is it a prolific story teller? An activist? A teacher? The Tribe trek from Grandmaster Flash to KRS One and Queen Latifah, Mos Def (Yasin Bey), Kendrick Lamar (lol) and Noname in search for an answer. Debate ensues! We also praise Giveon, make fun of Verzuz, and lament the religious zealots on the Supreme Court. Check the Rhyme starts at the 15 minute mark!

A one-hit wonder is defined as "any entity that achieves mainstream popularity, often for only one piece of work." From songs we have known such as "Hit the Quan" by iHeartMemphis to "Jump" by Kriss Kross, one-hit wonders have been a ongoing phenomenon that only seems to increase with time in the music industry. In this episode of the podcast hosted by our very own Denzel, the Tribe dives into the topic of "One-Hit Wonders".

Jeff Bezos is a punk. Inspired by the wave of unionization and political awakenings over the past few years, the Tribe decided to recruit an OG in this grassroots warfare in sussing out music's role, if any, in getting political messaging across and affecting change.

In 2019, Noname posted a tweet stating she was no longer going to do music for predominantly "white crowds" at rap concerts. This brought up the question, was she right?

While scouring the internet (i.e. TikTok, Reddit) looking at top rap discography lists, we were surprised to find out A Tribe Called Quest was not on many of those lists! A Tribe Called Quest has a top five discography in rap and it's not five!!!

It's a World P-P-P-Premier Premier! Before DJ Drama and Dreamville joined forces, and before Tyler the Creator won a Grammy off basically a mixtape, the Tribe set out to find where the mixtapes went to. Gone are the days of mass free downloads off of DatPiff.com or finding those  hitters on SoundCloud. Is everything a mixtape today with streaming? We swear we recorded this like a week before that Dreamville-Drama tape was announced.

Genius. Asshole. Confident. Arrogant. Bold. Flagrant. As a real-life Jekyll & Hyde, these adjectives and many others describe the intriguing nature of the embattled artist. He is known as an innovator in music and fashion, and an instigator of social issues, politics, and family drama. In light of his recent Netflix documentary, we as Tempo Tribe wanted to explore Ye from his beginnings in music up to today, and diagnose why he acts the way he does and says the things he says. Jeen-yuhs: The Enigma That Is Kanye West is sure to be an interesting listen, especially for those that are Ye fans or have been Ye fans at any point during his career. Tune in!

We are back with the Season 2 premiere of the Tempo Tribe, and have returned with a new look and new ideas! ChillHop (or Lo-fi Hip-Hop) has origins that date as early as the 2000s, utilizing components that originate from Jazz and Classical Music. During the 2010s, there was a noticeable increase in the number of listeners of ChillHop as well as subgenres that emerged from the subgenre (such as chillwave and vaporwave). Grab your snacks, sit back, relax and enjoy as Denzel, Meron, and Dylan discuss the genre known as "ChillHop" and its effect on the modern day. It's good to be back!

A 34-year old Canadian complains about failed relationships with Texan IG models and a nonsensical feud with Kanye West for an hour and a half. Drake's 6th studio album sported a bevy of features and expert production ranging from Metro Boomin, to Masego, PartyNextDoor, Travis Scott, and of course the ever-reliable 40.

Only the 'Jesus Is King' rapper would drop his album on a Sunday, and it was epic and polarizing, to say the least. Kanye only knows how to do it loud, and Donda was no exception. Filled with church organs, background choir vocals, blazing production, and a plethora of features, there was so much touch on from this album. Unfortunately, not much can be said about Ye's own lyrical performance as a whole (unless you're a Ye stan like one of our hosts). This is Tempo Tribe's high-spirited album review of Donda!

It's the season finale! So naturally the Tribe goes for a heavy topic. It'd be an understatement to say that the Black community has had a complicated relationship with western medicine, from lack of healthcare accessibility, to scientific research exploitation, and even criminal neglect. And a global pandemic seemed only to agitate that. This leads to the question: what do people turn to when they don't have a doctor they trust? And how has that expressed itself in the music? Apparently a whole lotta juicing. Tofu conversion therapy ensues! Follow us on Twitter and IG (@tempo_tribe), and please send us feedback or episode ideas to tempotribepod@gmail.com.

Starting from his promising debut mixtape 10 Day to his lukewarm debut album The Big Day, the Tempo Tribe explores and analyzes and the rise and fall of Chance the Rapper's super-stardom in the rap game.
