No shit. They're hybrids or remixes of hip hop (I couldn't find the right remix of the 2nd one, I picked the closest one I could find).

Also the Malpractice remix of T-Pain's "Low", I couldn't find that one on Youtube anywhere.

Your example is fine too, but it's more urban than electronic and it's pretty dated.

Edit: And out of something like 50,000 vids of Afrika you managed to pick the one with the worst possible sound quality, lol.

other than rapping there is nothing urban about the songs you posted digi

Planet Rock also contains more edm elements than urban imo. most people call Planet rock a dance song not a hip hop song

Even tho its a old song I dont think its dated it still sounds good

If telling yourself that you were the first to mix electronic music with rap music makes you happy. Then go for it!

Serious note: If you've noticed ... recent RnB has some trancey synths and singing / lyrics repeats that they're using now. Its abit shocking but, thats the new thing. First heard it at a house party on NYE and I was shaking my head.

WTF? This has to be one of the most retarded comments I've ever read (aside from everything else by ***** I guess).

How do you even reply to something like this?

I guess it upsets you to find out that there are producers out there doing professionally what you've been chugging away at for years thinking you were some kind of pioneer. And that they're actually able to make decent hybrid tracks with mainstream appeal.

A lot of us here were or still are into hip hop or the urban scene. We aren't idiots. I'm pretty sure your knee-jerk reaction is a result of you simply not being used to electronic music, so anything that sounds even a little bit on the electronic side can't possibly be urban. This isn't 1982 anymore dude, musical tastes have changed.

You can have urban with electronic elements, or electronic music with urban elements, or something closer to the middle - it's all pretty similar.

why dont you want to give me any credit for anything I do or accomplish? why must you put me down & make a mockery of me & what I do?

It is True I mix different styles of music Trance is 1 of them

no one was fusing it really they might have used other edm songs(house dance freestyle etc) but not Trance

OK, again, WTF?

Trance is EDM. Hip hop is urban. In both cases the latter term refers to a wide range of music of which the former term is one subgenre.

I'd like you to show me proof that absolutely NO ONE has EVER mixed trance music with hip hop...EVER. Good luck with that.
