I love rap and hip hop/r&b. If it werent for that then 2 things would change @ the club..

1)Id have no break from dancing to the trance/dancy stuff to go get a drink/pee!
2) IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PICK UP CHIXS WHILE RAVING. Or at least I think it is. U get a girl goin to Pony(ginuwine) and dude...shes ridin your cock from behind in a second! By far the best bump and grind song ever!

much easier to get girls while dancing to rap then trance IMO.

well..... here also its hard to avoid the Rap & R&B... but its the same with many other genres (apart from techno & trance)... which is i only like some of it, if its really good. like i dunno... dre aint that bad, eminem is slightly funny...

But i think it crosses the line when ur in a club and a DJ is playin Trance... and all the homies yell out "We Want Some Fuckin' Rap Yawl"... and THE NEXT SONG somehow mixes in with destinys child or some fucked up shit !!!! well.... this happened 6 days ago. And i can only cry about it my fellow TA's...

hehe

oh well

Trance 4 eva

Rap..... phhh

Me too, wayyyyyy before anyone ever coined the phrase "trance". And that was quite a ways back because compared to most of you guys, I'm old (26). Brakedancing, beatboxing, I was into all of that. In fact, I started mixing rap nonstop back in 1990, and I carried that over to trance. Favorites were and still are: Boogie Down Productions/KRS-One, Rakim, and Public Enemy. The list could go on. Sadly, rap/hip hop took a turn for the worse in the late 90s, that's why I don't listen to new rap at all. I listen to trance 90% of the time now, but I'll never ever leave rap.

But for me, trance is the rap of the new millennium. Because 1. it's very mixable (obviously), 2. it's pretty much still underground/non mainstream (at least in the USA), 3. the joining of artists on one song, 4. the countless remixes you can make, and 5. mixtapes (or CDs). I can't think of too many genres that do that except for maybe reggae which I also love.

Yep

Rap is occasionally ok, i can listen to it, but it does not give me the same feeling inside that trance and dance does.

Trance is easy to listen to, but rap is more in your face.

I have to say i did like

Outkast - 'So Fresh, So Clean (Fatboy Slim Mix)

So it shows that the two can be mixed

for me hip hop is nothing but adult singing mother goose rhymes...they all got no talent IMO...now when you start singing then thats a diff story...let see those R.A.P (really annyoing poetry) artist sing.....well i remember that song..."cuase you say he is just a friend" oh he had a lovely voice...RAP is CRAP......i like the will smith kind of rap..thats it...call me lame...dont care.
Maybe the reason i hate rap (now) cause its not the same as the 80s' rap..

Posted by Johnny Eckhardt on Jul-08-2001 07:02:

Can't handle rap. I always thought it was just a way for people with no talent to get into the music industry. Enough already!

Posted by Mr_Revolver on Jul-08-2001 07:38:

It was good

Back in tha dayz of 2pac and when Snoop Dogg was Snoop Doggy Dog singing Gin and Juice & What's My Name? now its starting to suck though.......Ain't nothing but a G thang baby....lol
I like Paul Oakenfold's mix of Lapdance on the swordfish soundtrack though.

Posted by Sugarbean on Jul-08-2001 08:10:

yea i still listen to a lil rap...dmx...tupac
its not about the beats to me...its about the words.

i dont like ignorant people who say all rap is the same...that they dont have talent..that its crap..

ima break it down...its what people identify with...that thing people find in a tune which sparks something inside them that turns on that feeling you get towards a tune u which makes u like it...which provides the though in your head that decides talant for you. doesnt mean that the things you dont identify with dont have talant...its just that u dont identify with them. saying you hate it...that its all crap...is the same kind of closeminded peeps that i dont identify with. doesnt mean your not entitled to ur opinon..

..we each have a star..all we have to do is find it...and once you do everyone who sees it will be blinded...

Posted by Renegade on Jul-08-2001 11:39:

Yeah I agree.

Hammer just doesn't compare to the real rap gangstas like Will Smith, Lil' Bow Wow and Vanilla Ice.

These guys have produced some seriously heavy shit.

that can be true...and i understand where your comming from. it does get old in some tunes...but like for me..i find meaning in some of the tracks..and in some its what people chose not to talk about...that deny whats really going on in some parts of the world..that pisses people off to hear cuz they either dont want to believe that that is how some people live or their just to nieve or closeminded to understand...blah so on and so forth...

Posted by tc-fan on Jul-08-2001 19:05:
