Not exactly, no. Hypersoul, similarly, is an accent, an inflection. But we shouldn't rule out the possibility of examples of hypersoul that occur outside these two forums.

Moreover, hypersoul at times toys with some surprisingly white and unfunky musical influences. There's certainly a good case to be made that hypersoul is Not Real Soul, an imposter of some sort. Though the soul cognoscenti may have rejected hypersoul, the soul massive has embraced it wholeheartedly. Demographically, soul has always been rooted in a biracial working class social soil. And insofar as there is a tradition of street soul, hypersoul is its latest manifestation.
