Oh no... one of my favorite Norwegian violinists, Alexander Rybak moved to L.A. and NOW he's playing hip-hop? 😱
...even says sh*t in this song - definitely goes against his 'wholesome' image (not that worse words haven't come out of MY mouth 😔)!

It's a far cry from Alexander playing my favorite Bergrosa Vals, or his famous Fairytale! Think he went to Columbia College in Chicago for film music, then moved to L.A. - looks like he wants to do film music for Hollywood!
Will everyone eventually get hooked on hip-hop? 😳
Actually, I LIKE hip-hop rhythm! I'm just not keen on most lyrics used with it.
I LOVE the new tune in the latest "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F", Here We Go! - been attempting to make it sound good on my Maezarine, but still think some of the lyrics are distasteful & unnecessary.

I do want to explore/learn more about R&B and Hip-hop, but (like usual) I get confused with their forms & sub-genres!
I see (from wikipedia) that the definition of R&B has changed quite a bit since the 40's (why I posted under this heading, instead of Jazz & Blues). I'm interested in contempory R&B - "elements of pop, soul, funk, disco, hip-hop and electronic music".
Anyone got some favorites they've played on fiddle/viola or cello?
Trap is a sub-genre of Hip-hop, but I have trouble when I see a bunch of great comments for a performance like this... all I feel is - 'it would be great if someone played a melody line over this backing'. 🥴 ...is there any hope for me?

I love that Hip Hop and many other alternative music styles interest you, and others on this site. It helps creativity and opens the door for new styles and sounds from our future violinists, not to mention openness of the idea to other music styles. When I was growing up, it was mainly classical and jazz.
