One big issue with this is the lyrics. They will get in the way and will clash as hip hop is very vocal.

But if you want to check out some good hip hop mixing check out Funkmaster Flex and his mix tapes. Also check out some of the classic Electro (on Street Sounds mainly mixed by Mastermind and Bunny Rock) mixes, they were mainly mixed by blend method... although the hip hop style was more old school it worked... but obviously this has been done before so it's nothing new.

He varies his style of mixing and will blend some tunes and cut others.
I think if you just blended hip hop you would limit the selection due to track possibilities and would probably not give a hip hop crowd what they want.

Cheers

I wanna clear something up

The mixtape you got was probably Dangermouse/Jay-Z/Beatles - Grey Album
Dangermouse used samples of the Beatles White album, to make the beat, and put acapella's from Jay-Z's Black album overtop the beats. It caused lots of controversy, and spawned many imitations. That said...dangermouse isn't a dj. He's a producer. He didnt mix it in the sense of mixing two records.

Good album, nonetheless.

I remeber hearing some pretty fluent mixing on a cd called 7 deadly spins or something. It had a few different djs and one name I remember is DJ Fluke.

This is in the DJing subforum, and he's asking for opinions about mixing a non-trance genre in trance style. I don't really see how that doesn't relate to trance or to DJing, the two things this forum is intended for.

If he just came here with a hiphop mix and wanted us all to tell him how cool it was, that'd be different; he's asking trance DJs what they think about mixing another genre in trance DJ style. Seems related enough to me, but whatever.

I spin both, hip hop and trance... And honestly, on the hip hop forums I never hear anyone hate on trance. As a matter of fact, they appreciate it. Most of the time, their main concearn is that they dont listen to it cause they dont know how to dance to it.

Why cant people in this forum for once not hate on other genres. I see that way too often.

Yeah, most turntablism is hip hop and the people that are actually good at turntablism could probably own 99% of the people here on some turntables.
