1939 followers · 189 posts · Server hcommons.socialmy favourite rapper using #falsetto hooks in #hiphop tracks is Kool Keith. favourite not just because his hooks are not based on sources but written by Keith himself, but especially because they are not just falsetto but also so unapologetically false.

1939 followers · 187 posts · Server hcommons.socialarguably, chronologically the relation between recorded #HipHop and #falsetto hooks is in reverse, as the 1975 disco track Heaven and Hell Is on Earth by the 20th Century Steel Band -sampled 100s of times- is built on the foundation of a definitely *rapped* falsetto hook (add this to the significant lists of recorded rap and hiphop pre-Rappers Delight?):

Men go work and some go stealing

It's basically a single 35 minute track. It was described as being "dream like" / #psychedelic which I think fits quite well. The singer, who unfortunately passed away already, uses #Falsetto which adds another unique touch. It's from 1996.

🎧 When "Cry Me a River" dropped in the fall of 2002, #rumors flew that the song was about #JustinTimberlake's broken relationship with a more-famous female musical artist. JT confirmed it years later.
I didn't GAF about that mess—I was into #Timbaland's beats and production and your boy's #falsetto!
The #film was directed by #FrancisLawrence in #Malibu.
"Cry Me a River" won a #Grammy and a couple #MTV Music Awards in 2003.

🎧 Morning, y'all. First music of the day: "Get Up (Everybody) by #ByronStingily.
This banger samples #Sylvester's "Dance (Disco Heat), and Stingily's voice is a proper (eerie) tribute to the underappreciated diva who passed in 1988.

"In a vocal fry register," explains Elemans, "your vocal folds are mostly slack, so they're #thick and #heavy, and they #vibrate at their #lowest #frequencies. And in the #falsetto #register, they're stretched very long and the #tension is very high. And this leads to the #highest frequencies."
