What is Blip Hop?
1.
A form of post electronic Hip Hop that manifests itself in the form of clicks, cuts, bleeps, blips, vocal excisions, and throwback samples. A re-envisioning of hip hop with electronic ears. Blip Hop is simply a cross pollenation of IDM and HIP HOP. Predominately, IDM artists began to incorporate HIP HOP sensibilities into their music, and this is the result. It is unfortunate that Blip Hop is so closely associated with IDM because much of it's music could stand alone in the hip hop pantheon. Blip Hop was an unfortunate term used by music journalists to pigeonhole something that was actually quite new and exciting.
