The term booty bass can refer to several different, loosely related genres of music.
- Miami bass – largely based in Miami throughout Florida and elsewhere in the south. It is essentially the second form of Hip-Hop to come into existence, but wasn't known by the media until the 1990s, when the music had become stigmatised by explicit lyrics; includes performers like 2 Live Crew
- Ghetto house – largely refers to later period Dance Mania Records recording artists. This is a brand of new school House music performers who loop often X-rated lyrics over House beats. Chicago Ghetto house / Juke Music is start to become very popular overseas.
- Baltimore Club – Also known as Baltimore Breaks, this genre is popular mostly in Maryland, and the music genre Chicago Ghetto house kinda sound the some, with the exception of being based on House music instead of breakbeats.
- Ghettotech – largely based in Detroit, Michigan, considered a fusion of Miami bass with new school Detroit Electro, despite it not resembling either. The tempos are far faster than either genre, and it maintains the repetitive nature of modern post-rave global electronic dance music.
Famous quotes containing the words booty and/or bass:
“A horse, a buggy and several sets of harness, valued in all at about $250, were stolen last night from the stable of Howard Quinlan, near Kingsville. The county police are at work on the case, but so far no trace of either thieves or booty has been found.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“How are we to know that a Dracula is a key-pounding pianist who lifts his hands up to his face, or that a bass fiddle is the doghouse, or that shmaltz musicians are four-button suit guys and long underwear boys?”
—In New York City, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
