what kind of rap do they listen to?
cause the strategy you use should greatly depend on what kind of music they already listen to |

| They listen to cheesy "50 cent " and g-unit. Hardcore rap is what they call it. |

hmmm
thats gonna be tough as
i'd say as a first step try to get them to listen to some good hip-hop, but thats just me :p
maybe you could first start off by introducing them to do good DJ work or something
try Journeys by DJ by DJ Coldcut
maybe something by tricky?
ooh actually try showing them some RJD2
he's got respect in the rap community too, he's done a load of amazing collaborations with big rap names, but also does some really good electronica
i think the key is not just trying to get them straight from rap to straight electronica
find some middle ground for them to get used to first
actually DJ Shadow might be worth a shot too
cause a lot of his stuff has beats and such similar to rap, but the progressions and style of the songs are more similar to other electronica
and not many vocals either, which is something that a lot of people think is weird about trance
good luck! |

here's a suggestion....
why dont you just forget about it.
does it really matter that your friends listen to the same ty music as you do?
NO! it doesn't.
With all that said, if you still want to impress rap people, show them some good old progressive house.
they like it.
or at least my drug dealers do. |

yeah what BTG said
or just get them drunk or high and put trance on in the background so it sounds "good" to them
then .... i dunno.. just work it from there...see if anyone says" Hey what's this song playing?" or something..
trying to convert someone to trance will utimately take time unless they have an epiphany |

| You shouldn't get anyone to listen to anything. Simply play what u wanna play when u r in your car or at your house. If they like it, great.. if they dont.. who cares. |

or you can do what i usually do
when u throw a party or something, just put trance as your background music
most of the time i get ppl saying "can u play some hip-hop?"
and i say "yeah sure its coming on next"
by that time theyre too drunk too know wats going on, and trance the rest of the night..
its a good ploy, especially if you can control the music. all the music in our apt comes from my 5 disc CD changer and Turntables in my room... its sweet. :D |

| Z-Trip spins everything from hip-hop to house in the same sets. There's a bridge of sorts. Also breakbeats and Drum 'n' Bass are similar genres to both. |
