Trance listeners are drug addicts. I guess that's what you're trying to imply

I say, old chap......

Amen to everything dJohn has said. I'm one of the few people (apparently) who listen to both hip-hop and trance. Even though I see trance 'growing' and becoming more popular, I don't think it'll be at the cost of hip-hop. I like trance, and I like hip-hop - they both sound good.
That's it.

Unfortunatly the mainstream-music tend too be "overplayed", I can hear tha same shit at the radio 3-4 times a day (my roomie/collegue has his radio an al day long) and it pisses me of. Even in the "clubbs" in my hometown they run mainstream-shit. i have no probleme with hip-hop ar any other mainstream music, but it gotta be in the right proportion and place.

Btw, it would be terrible if trance grew as big as hip-hop imo, it would lose a lot of the soul it got today..

Try as I did, I couldnt have put it any better. That only goes for the "thugz" tho, not the (tiny) minority that are actually cool people.

Trance isnt popular in the States because they dont play it on the radio and its funny because 90% of the people in this country think that every electronic gene is called "techno." i like the trance scene the way it is. it lets me forget about all the junk you hear on the radio day in, day out.....i hope they dont take that away from me and make it even more main-stream than it is now.

I wish trance was more well-known as what we listen to, not stuff like Sandstorm and Alice Deejay productions But I have a feeling that IF trance becomes somewhat mainstream, it'll just make anybody think they can produce it and it'll evolve into its own cheesey genre. For example, after hip hop/rap became mainstream, you have stuff like Nelly and 50 Cent, which is not true hip hop/rap. Either way, it would be bad for trance, so I think trance should be kept the way it is now.

will never happen...they're both two totally completely different genres of music...they might maybe one day merge together to form some weird type of electro-hip hop music...(which i wouldn't doubt exists already just don't know what that would be called)....but trance will never replace hip hop....although trance might surpass it in popularity but YEARS and YEARS down the road...not anytime soon..

well said, replacing it, once you think about it, doesnt make any sence, what did hip hop replace to get where it is?

Trance replaced rap for me YEARS ago. I got into the scene in 1983 when I became a B-boy. In 1988 at the age of 12, I got my 1st turntable, and wrote and recorded my first track. From there it was about "rappin" all day and all night. Around 1999 I lost the love almost completely. Shitheads like Cash Money and "the dirrrty south" poisoned what I loved and grew up with.

With trance (I've ALWAYS said this), I still get the same punchy, constant beats, it is not mainstream in the US at least, turntablism is still a key ingredient, and artists get together to do remixes and collaborations, that's what rap & trance have in common.

Today, I bought my 1st rap CD in a year, only averaging 1 per year unlike 20 in previous years. I think today's rap fans are kids who somehow stumbled into it, rather that seeing it evolve from it's roots. I hope hip hop as a whole heals itself one day.

i don't think the average american teen has the attention span necessary to listen to a song without words for more than a few seconds

(like Stamina Daddy, i, too, hope hip-hop finds its way back from wherever it is right now...)
