what instruments are commonly used in rap? (mainly crunk)

[Bro_Random]

I'm instrument impaired... the only sounds that I know sound tight are synths, brass, pizzicato, etc. but I just want to know what other instruments can ya list to help get a great sounding melody in rap tracks (especially crunk rap)

Thanks!

P.S. know any good sites that I can listen to different instruments and get a detail on what they do?

 

[PrinceOfDarkness]

pianos, bells, whistles, flutes

 

[Decisive]

leads... electric guitars

^ those can really move a song.

 

[Morning_Star]

All instruments can be used for any style of music. Just depends on how you use them to obtain that certain feeling

South,west,east
all use the same instruments

Piano
strings
synths
Brass
truments
etc

There is no sound list for Rap.

From samples to orchestral.....that's the beauty of music.

However, there are 'fad' sounds that people go through..
