Miami bass (also known as booty music, a term that may also include other genres, such as
dirty rap), is a type of
hip hop music that became popular in the 1980s and 1990s. It is known for applying the
Roland TR-808 sustained kick drum, slightly higher dance tempos, and occasionally sexually explicit lyrical content. Music author Richie Unterberger has characterized Miami bass as using rhythms with a "stop start flavor" and "hissy"
cymbals with lyrics that "reflected the language of the streets, particularly
Miami's black
ghettos such as
Liberty City and
Overtown" . Miami bass has never had consistent mainstream acceptance, but has had a profound impact on the development of
drum and bass,
Baltimore Club,
Southern rap,
funk carioca, and other genres of music.
