2687100, Interesting trends in today's beats - white girl vocals + others Posted by T Reynolds, Tue Apr-17-12 09:55 AM
I kinda dig the usage of white girl vocals
Are they literally sung by white girls? Who knows. But they are definitely white-girlish
Two obvious ones I think of are "Hands on the Wheel" by Schoolboy Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWlu8VhcqtM
and "The Recipe" by Dre and Kendrick http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOsRe2MTofo
How big is this trend really?
Is it new or has it been going on for a while?
With new ways of marrying electronica to rap being explored and white girl chic becoming the most relevant it's been in rap since Blondie I would assume this is a byproduct of other trends
or are people just sick of more traditional r&b hooks?
I mean r&b kinda sucks these days anyway but what happened to the mary j's on "all I need" type hooks?

I mean some of the biggest "rap" records of 2011 were white girl sung hooks... B.O.b, Eminem etc...
Church-Voice sounds dated..
Rihanna is winning in the category tho... cuz she still has something unique about her pop voice that people want.
