I produce pretty underground dance music, have always loved techno house trance etc... Well yeah you can nod your head in a cool laidback way to a hiphop track but I rarely hear hiphop beats that really catches you the way techno and house music can do. Rap on a dancefloor is a generally a sleeping pill. Still waiting for hiphop to fusion with dance music, only the brits seem to get this right...

Mr. Smith, the comment you just made makes it obvious the only intention you have of the genre is the poppy fluffy shit that mtv and clear channel are pushing everywhere.

I have tried to dig up some underground things, just to find out that I don't like it. Still the same slow sluggish beats and annoying rap. Maybe the lyrics has a bit more meaning.

Why don't you like rap/hiphop ?

Haven't you presumed (albeit correctly), with this question, that your audience of the question has formed a negative opinion of rap/hiphop?:hihi:

Thank goodness you didn't say, "... rap/hiphop music," else I would have had to use the BIG "O" word on you - Oxymoron

I apologize for being too mean, way too mean, but you just waded right into this one.

But since you ask, it's just that I like music.

Seriously, there's too much bad poetry in rap to be appealing to me, and the rhythm section doesn't work for me either.

Hiphop's a different story. There's some fun stuff in there on occasion, and some good sounds, too, I guess.

I was being way too mean.

When any one genre of music becomes dominant it feeds upon itself until it no longer is anything but a caricature of itself.....thus explains "Hip Hop 2005".

bang on. it doesn't cover a lot of hiphop music of course, but it sure covers the majority of top 40 hiphop for me. IMHO and other disclaimers. this is why it's now impossible to spoof top 40 rap/hippop - it's already self-parody.

i dont like hiphop because it is a genre founded by those people who were only ever on 70's british television with bones thru their noses saying intelligent things like "booga booga!" and chucking spears at things. i know any music i make is going to be intellectually superior, especially if i use theory, which those people of course dont have ha ha can you imagine them with their booga, hiphop is for some dumb people.

I'm coming rather late to the table on this thread, and really don't have time to read the entire thing, so I'll just add a few thoughts...

I hate most rap/hiphop, for the same reasons most people here have already stated. That said, there is nothing inherently bad about rap. In other words, there is nothing inherently bad about the use of rhythmic speech in a musical context. I think a great example of original use of this technique is Beck.
