hip-hop startled by dance music

[blistanbul]

hello to all. i know it is more to do with electro-house but what do you lot think of r+b acts like beyonce and rap with kanye west and black eyed peas incorporating dance music into their tunes?

kind of cheap don't you think?

[eppertheleper]

Inevitable. No-talent or low-talent hacks with big names have been siphoning off the electronic scene for years and they'll continue to do so. Madonna has made an extremely successful career out of it.

[blistanbul]

but they were more in the remix side of things, it seems now that every rapper is talking about 808's y'alls.

i mean dizzee in the uk does it as well, but he comes from dance background(grime) not hip-hop.

[davethedrummer]

I couldn't care less.

[Igneous]

Its pop music so it doesn't even register on my radar.

i like the propose this question to you the drummer:

say the remote possibility becomes a reality and acid takes over the states, would you remix pop acts ?

just curious. or you would never consider such a proposition?

more chance of seeing this every week but you never know :lol:

[Paul Zykotik]

Not a big deal. Dance music took enough influences from hip-hop back in the day.

of course I would remix pop acts !
I'm a musician, it goes without saying.
in fact, I HAVE remixed pop acts, nothing incredibly famous but i have done it in the past.
Jesus jones, Elastica, the Orb, Prodigy, North and South (and more, most of them unused )
There's nothing wrong with making some money from your art.
Remixes are probably the best way to make some cash from music without risk.

but if you're asking me to make a horrible cheesy record that I hate, just for money
then no, the answer is I couldn't do it even if I wanted to.
I have tried, I came to the conclusion that you can't make music cynically.

[Jants]

i genrally like most of the music of hip hop just dont like the lyrics

[Jay Pace]

Another one for henry...

Would you let one of your loops or samples be used in a horrible pop track?

Can understand why people do it. But always kind of kills the original for me. Hearing kanye west blether over the top of daft punk makes me want to break things...

[rhythmtech]

im really coming to the conclusion that music is just music.

for all our high and mightiness about "underground" theres another group of people that love cheesey pop just as much.

if you can make money from music these days then you're a bloody genius.. doesnt matter what style it is.

[The Overfiend]

I'm not a fan of new-ish Black Eyed Peas
In their defense, they have been participants in the house music culture for a very long time.
They all started as house dancers and to be honest
Are super ill when it comes to straight footwork.
Will I Am has also been doing livesets and djaying in LA for a very long time.
The house influence seeping out in their music now
I would more say is attest to his affiliations with Steve Aoki and Junior Sanchez.
So while people may think they are jumping on the bandwagon, they've actually been participants for quite some time.
I still actually remember when Black Eye Peas did REAL hip hop, once upon a time.

[The Overfiend]

Let's not forget, all of this has happened before, Hip House anyone?

what does house dancers have to do with 808s techno and electro.

it is not steeping out, hip-hop has run out coarse, they are looking at new venues but they will fail.

kind of sad really.

WHAT?

we're talking bout a very specific commercialised hip hop here. a genre that generates so much revenue that it will keep going and mutating as newer producers emerge.

underground hip hop is still going strong and inovating.
