Where Yeezus was relentlessly ugly, determined to shove its unremitting whomp in your face, these songs trickle from one vaguely harsh noise to another without focus.

This is more like Grimes singing for Roomrunner — scrawny messy energetic whomp meets Eva Hendricks, whose squeaky, sugary scream abrades at this moment in history like no electric guitar will.

Ego Death (2015), their last and best album, with its low bass whomp and flickery organic seep packed with sneak hooks and luscious noises, captured the lazy drift of a sun-dazed afternoon.

Too precisely mechanical for the blues melody to sound much like blues, Prince's LinnDrum beat slams down hard on the nonstop whomp that dominates the album, sparking a big punchy rock song that nonetheless fits the album's unifying electrofunk.

The beat is a regular 4/4 march, although played by a group of assembled drum machines significantly more dextrous than the rock drummers typically attracted to the time signature, the product of disco drum sound even if Prince eschews disco's slinkier rhythms for straightahead whomp.

But to my ears the secret is simpler: as foreign fans of pop-punk who love the genre for its guitar whomp and its tuneful clarity without necessarily participating in the concomitant subculture, they're not alienated, or anxious, or in touch with any sort of negative emotion whatsoever.

But the song — built on a sticky, low-riding keyboard whomp by Atlanta beat maestro Mike WiLL Made-It — spoke its own truth as the Compton native savaged pretenders to the throne, stunted for natural hair and stretch marks, and slid his laconic rasp over every subject (syrup sandwiches, Ted Talks, Richard Pryor) in his all-caps command. —L.G.

It stretches out for just over an hour with nary a human voice to be heard, true, but it altogether lacks the sleepy luxury of, say, Boards of Canada (or for that matter, the neoclassical austerity of, say, Aphex Twin) — it's too beat-driven; its massive synthesizer whomp would alarm the occupants of any lounge or concert hall.
|
|
Gradually building to a pitch of irresistible rhythmic heat, riding a beat wigglier and more multifaceted than Prince's norm (and a beat that still comes down hard on the third measure anyway, because he just can't resist straightahead whomp), "Housequake" imitates the extended band grooves beloved of classic funksters starting with James Brown, but except for Eric Leeds and Atlanta Bliss in the horn section, it's all Prince.

Each of the stages revolve around elements, such as fire and water. After each stage, the player gains a new weapon, much like in the original Mega Man series, which was extremely popular at the time. Both Whomp 'Em and the prior Saiyūki World (which was an adaptation of Wonder Boy in Monster Land) are based on the Journey to the West novel. The title, "Whomp 'Em" is a pun, based on wampum, white beads used by Native American tribes primarily for trading.

David Jeffries of Allmusic wrote: According to the credits, Master P isn't involved in the selection of these tracks, but the compiling was obviously done by some real No Limit soldiers who reach well past the big names: Master P, Snoop Dogg, Silkk the Shocker, C-Murder, and Mystikal. Hearing the forgotten Fiend's excellent, over-the-top "Mr. Whomp Whomp" is evidence that No Limit predicted the crunk craze of 2004-2005, and while ridiculous moments like "Where the Little Souljas At?" from pre-teen gangstas Lil Soldiers or the syrupy "Picture U & Me Are" from Mo B. Dick are embarrassing enough that P wouldn't have picked them, they are fun reminders of what a wacky and scrappy empire No Limit was. There's also some real heat pulled off long-lost compilations and soundtracks, and the big five's output for the label is whittled down to the most necessary tracks, although Snoop's time at the label was short and there's an argument to be made that C-Murder is underrepresented.

Future bass is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in the 2010s. It can be described as music that "takes the ecstatic drops of dubstep or trap, but provides a warm bounce rather than a lumbering bruteness. Basslines are provided by harsh, detuned synths that buzz and purr instead of gulp and whomp." The genre was pioneered by producers such as Flume, Lido and Cashmere Cat, and it was popularised in the mid-2010s by artists such as Louis the Child, Marshmello and Mura Masa.

The mixtape would receive positive reviews upon release, Stereogum would end up naming it the "Mixtape of the Week". Rolling Stone also would name it the fourth best mixtape of 2013.

There was once a debate on whether a curveball actually curves or is an optical illusion. In 1949, Ralph B. Lightfoot, an aeronautical engineer at Sikorsky Aircraft, used wind tunnel tests to prove that a curveball curves. On whether a curveball is caused by an illusion, Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher Dizzy Dean has been quoted in a number of variations on this basic premise: "Stand behind a tree 60 feet away, and I will whomp you with an optical illusion!" However, optical illusion caused by the ball's spinning may play an important part in what makes curveballs difficult to hit.

The block was originally announced under the working title "Whomptastic", though the name was changed prior to the debut of the block for greater brand identity (incidentally, "whomp" was used as a pejorative term in the Disney-produced animated series Recess, one of the series that would end up part of the new block, as a substitute for "sucks").Issue 3.2. The new lineup was later renamed Disney's One Too in July 1999, formatted to serve as a competitor block to ABC's existing children's block Disney's One Saturday Morning. The block debuted on September 6, 1999, replacing UPN Kids, which ended its run the day before (on September 5) after four years.

Upon its release for the arcades in Japan in 1987, Wonder Boy: Monster Land had slow sales, but it would eventually pick up to become a decent seller. Before Sega published it on its own console, Hudson obtained the rights and program from Escape (Westone) and published it on the PC Engine under the altered name Bikkuriman World (to avoid the conflict of Sega's character 'Wonder Boy') in October 1987. Sega ported the game to its Master System console in 1988, where in Japan it was titled Super Wonder Boy: Monster World. Jaleco published a Famicom port in Japan in 1988 titled Saiyūki World, developed by NMK, which spawned an independently created sequel, Saiyūki World 2, released in North America as Whomp 'Em.

Finding the electronic equipment that they had adopted for their new sound too cumbersome for touring, the band returned to the more conventional band format for their next three releases, although they did not eschew synthesizers entirely: Whomp That Sucker, Angst in My Pants (two tracks from which appear later in the 1983 movie Valley Girl) and In Outer Space. They finally broke into the US singles chart with "Cool Places" from 1983's In Outer Space. The track was a collaboration with the Go-Go's rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist Jane Wiedlin (who at one time ran her own Sparks fan club), and its success was in part thanks to Los Angeles' KROQ-FM radio station, which hailed them as local heroes.

Esquire's Miles Raymer commented that Rihanna is party girl and because of that every of her albums has one song with you can get crazy; according to Raymer in this case is "Phresh Out the Runway" which if it is played in proper volume it can be "handbanging". Greg Kot for Chicago Tribune concluded that the song together with "Jump" and "Pour It Up" celebrates "live-for-the-moment hedonism". Smokey Fontaine for The Huffington Post called it a "loud" and "as- curse filled" for it can capture the album's title and reminds the parents that Rihanna's music is not yet for their kids. Bernard Perusse for The Montreal Gazette criticized the song and called it a "robotic whomp and f-bomb shtick", that rapidly creates "a melody-free, pedestrian turf".
