You can dispense with the harsh language, but I totally agree with what you're saying. These hip-hop supporters haven't even been able to firmly establish it as a bonafide form of EDM, and then they have the temerity to talk about it in a trance forum.
I should ask everyone for their favorite Pop artist. |
Last I checked, it was you who couldn't grasp the grand simplicity of fact that any music reliant upon an electronic means can constitute as electronic music. All the arguments you provided thusfar have been moot.
And pop is more of a concept than a defined genre of music, much in the same sense that Christian music is. Pop music can sound like anything, really. Mainstream trends during the past forty years have proven this well.
As for the intellect of hip-hop, there has been no such criteria given to determine whether or not one genre is more intellectual than another, most attempts to insinuate otherwise have been without credible argument. Saying that trance is more intellectually superior than another is pretty damn dumb as it is already; I mean, seriously, take that plug out of your ass and stop the pseudo-intellectual elitism. As a matter of fact, I'd be willing to place a heavy wager that hip-hop in general is far more intellectual than the crap being spewed forth as trance simply due to what seems to be that hip-hop artists (yes, this includes that top ten pop-hop stuff) are more technically proficient than your average trance producer and the fact that the genre tends to spawn a far more diverse sound in comparison to the formulaic Euro-anthems we've all been bombarded with over the past ten years.
Oh, and one more thing. Hydarnes, Hissiprissy, this may come as decent mind fuck to you guys - the first trance song (The KLF's 1988 Pure Trance Original Mix of their hit What Time Is Love), believe it or not, contained rap vocals on the main versions of the song.
