Hip-hop covers the widest tempo range on this list: from boom bap, slow and laid-back, to trap, often produced fast but felt at half time. It's the genre where reading the BPM takes the most care. At a party, intro and clean versions are often essential, because a lot of tracks start straight on the vocal.
