what's more popular in toronto?

i always think about this when i travel to other cities. what music do you hear more often? when i walk into stores and stuff here in toronto i hear house music quite often. when i was in new york it was maybe 1 out of 10 shops. it also seems like every big club in the city is about house and not hip hop. am i the only one who notices this? why is hip hop so much more popular but it seems i hear house more often? take a trip to montreal though and its every store playing house.

hip hop is more popular...

House was more popular in the 90s but sadly toronto has americanized a lot recently.

yeah i know its more popular but i mean when do you see as many people at freedom at a hip hop club? just things like that. is it because of children buying every 50 cent cd on the shelf?

there is more people like both types of music or people that dont care what type it is in the store..
but yeah i think hiphop > house, trance here

in stores? if its not a radio station playing, house would probably be more popular, since it usually doesnt have swearing in it.

as far as clubs go, hip hop surpasses house music by far. thats why there are hundreds of top 40 clubs, but only a handful of clubs that play electronic music

i never thought about the lyrics but thats a very good point

thats why half the lyrics are edited out on the radio. I always laugh when a hip hop song on the radio literally has every 2nd or 3rd word edited out to the point where you cant even tell what the guy was trying to say in the first place.

"i was ------ with -------- and -------- on the streets when ------- -------- "

YEAH AND YA DON'T STOP, CAUSE ITS ONE EIGHT SEVEN ON A UNDERCOVER COP

Edits are hilarious.

If you notice on TV shows as well, a lot of the time it's house or some sort of electronic music that is playing rather than hip hop. Though there are shows that play hip hop. Movies as well.

I don't know if I agree with this.
Even though Guvernment is probably the biggest club in the city, think about how many more hip hop and r and b clubs there are. Almost all of Richmond St. plays that type of music.
Also even guvernment has one hip hop night a week, its just that none of us ever go there.

to the hip to the hop!
to the hippity hoppity bop!

It's the first thing I noticed moving from Montreal to Toronto just over 10 years ago.

Hip Hop just doesn't go in neither MTL nor Quebec. The French speaking majority just can't understand or associate with hip hop culture. Ever hear of a Rappeur Qu�becois? But it is more appreciated on the west (anglophone) side of the city more.

Lack of appreciation of English-speaking culture results in loss of interest, like the Alouettes and the Expos.

(Alouettes have since returned, but to an English part of the city and an affordable stadium)

France is a whole different story.

NTM (Nique Ta M�re) was (is?) HUGE when I was in France.

why is hip hop more popular in toronto clubs? i think bcuz its slower than house. more ppl wanna just have a few drinks and shake their asses rather than actually dance. grinding is also much easier to hip hop. but then why is house more popular in montreal? i guess the only conclusion is that torontonians are lazy.

Hip hop is played more in stores here in Taipei......and they don't edit the words. Hell I doubt most of them even understand what these rappers are saying.

I'll never forget the day I walked into McDonalds here after smoking a joint and hearing Bob Marley....I don't know why but I just felt grand at that single moment.

To really make a point, I find that you need a whole lot more dots in your posts than that. The amount you have is good for beginners, but to really make an "oomph" with your post, you need at least three times that amount.

Just an FYI for the future.

*whoosh*

That's the sound of my post going right over your head.

I understand you're learning the language, but what language is it that you're coming from that uses so many periods? African?
