Can mixing 50 cent and Eminem work like mixing Tiesto and Corsten?

my homie G and i were talking about the leaps and bounds in mixing music. Now, he is into hip hop and I am into trance. He is into turntables and I am into software. So he gave me this mix Dj Mouse The Grey Album and I was like "its cool." I'd heard about it and I thought it was cool when i was listening to it.
So i tell him, hey, what if I could make a rap mix based on the rules of trance.
I figure, u get the instrumental and the acapellas of rap songs, make a into, outro, put a "heeeeeeey" "yeeeeeeeeah" "ooooook" every few minutes and u just invented TRap mixtapes.
would it make me some chedda? |

Are you asking if it's possible record a set with a continuous flow of rap music?
If that's what you're asking, then you should hear some competent hip-hop DJs - it's quite nice to listen to some of them :) As a matter of fact, if you know how to work with the music, you can do that with theorically every genre. |

| There's already tons of compilations that do that. You can buy remix comps with extended versions. They sound dope! |

| I give it up to those hip hop guys. their manipulation of the music far surpasses our's. In terms of skill few of us can actually touch them. they don't have the long drawn out mixes but their music isn't made for that. as far as ur theory, well, i knowe how hard it is to put what you're hearing in ur head to words so, give it a try and see if it works? |

True, but the nature of mixing being different is what gives each genre of mixing it's respective points. As cliche'd as it is, comparing hip hop mixing with electronica mixing, if you want to be blunt, is like comparing apples and oranges. How can you compare the compositional mixing poise of the likes of Sasha, John Digweed, Nic Fanciulli, etc... with the technical ability of A Trak, Yoga Frog, etc...? To me, the only thing in common with these two camps is the fact that they use turntables.
Furthermore, who else in any other genre of music pushes the limits of creative hybridity like JZ, or Sasha's Maven? While it's old news to us, in terms of breaking the rules, I can't think of one single artist that changes music in other genres like these two have. I don't mean to sound like I'm on their balls, but think about it: they are the culmination of the fusion of music and technology, spiced with their natural creativity, something that other artists "can't touch". |

So let me get this right your ''homie G'' gave you a ''mixtape'' of ''dj mouse'' and you where like ''it's cool''. So you let him know you thought ''it was cool''.
The coked up, smoked up or doped up idiot that you are, inspired by that mixtape, you now want to make your own version of top 40 ''hip-pop'' by stripping it down to beats and vocal fills so that you can mix it as if it was bad, boring, supersaw epic trance
This would be a rap mix based on 'the rules of trance'.
Call me misfit, lips spit a gang of trash
Wrist glist now cause I make a gang of cash
Light glance, still street with the doo-rag
Slang, spit game, change speech, how they do that?

It's Funkymix and a few other remix services mixed in. I've found out hip hop also gets really boring if you're trying to mix it like trance and wait out the whole song. |
