my example 50 Cent - In Da Club
it has a catchy beat a great hook to suck you in.... definitely a dance floor filler. :D

I give some credit to Dr. Dre but even his tracks are rarely played on my system. Yesterday I was checking my disk on the rap file.

Almost deleted everything :o I'm really sick of that music style. always the same nonsense. Yesterday I heard the new one from Nelly who now thinks he's Puff Daddy Junior. One takes a classic track, rips it up in pieces and tells a stupid tale and this is what they call M.U.S.I.C. nowadays :evil:

P. Diddy: bad boy for life??? Hahahahahahahahaha. NOT!

No, I don't play that often in clubs anymore coz' I unfortunately don't have the time. I often play on our funfair attractions where the youngsters come dance and play (and buy tokens :o ).

On our Break-Dance I play House and Techno, which I can dig but certainly not in the way I cherish Disco. So that proves that I'm not living in the past :D. On the Bumpercars I play vintage Disco and yes, I'm mixing live. That's what we are known for and that's what's appreciated by our clients. This happens during the weekends and on special days. When there's less people I play CD's or straight from the PC.

I don't know if it's done on the fairs in the States but you can't compare that coz' funfairs are really different in Europe.

I'm also planning to make my comeback on the airwaves. A lot of people in Brussels are begging ( :o ??) for it since they still know me from the stations I owned there in the eighties.

I also used to play Rap and R&B on the attractions but I got kinda fed up with that music.

And yes "In da Club" is not a bad record, it has a nice synth-drive but the stuff that's charting nowadays: :( :evil:

Not my cup of tea, I'm afraid! I prefer coffee, Italian

Well I not exactly pro Top 40/Hip-Hop Rap music anymore... as more time goes by... I feel like i'm wasting my money subscribing to these dj compilations that are in the Urban Format... A lot of the beats are 80-89. Which accounts for the style of dancing as which most of these songs are pure shit. But I try my hardest to remain open minded as i'm really really starting to lose my ear for it and also my hair. (omfg) :( :D

Get over it guys.
Older generations should hate the popular music of the day. That's the way it was meant to be. Rejoice in your non acceptance and certain repugnance of it.
Therein lies happiness......for all.

Quinny, its not age! I know plenty of youngsters (thanks to the glorious world of the net) that think rap/hip hop is shit (and alot of today's music ingeneral). Theres a few on this forum as well..its def not an age thing..its a fact, its not music..and I honestly dont know what to call it..whatever it is..its shit! Now as for rap/hip hop in the early to mid 80s...some of that stuff was cool and positive!
