 Re: You dont know..
True, we do deny some of that club stuff as hip hop sometimes, but times have changed. When you speak of moving the crowd, that was initially the DJ's job. Today, 'moving the crowd' means something totally different. It's all about what gets women's asses shaking in the clubs. We've accepted that as part of hiphop, the only problem is that the market has become so saturated with music like this, that all sounds alike, with little to no originality/creativity to differ from each other. Now, the watered down form of hip hop is what is being presented to the masses, and is an inaccurate representation of what hip hop music, and hip hop culture is all about. The fact that this club music is such a small part of hip hop, combined with the fact that it is the most represented in the mainstream is why we tend to deny this kind of music as real hip-hop. |
