MilkmanDan:
yeah it's a great album. Produced by Ant as well, so the Atmosphere beats can't be the problem, so clearly you just don't like Slug.

KharBevNor: Hey! How about you stop being a dick? "OMG My music is so more indie than yours! Your entire genre is a sellout compared to mine" Seriously, just stop it now, before things get out of hand.

Revenge_Therepist: Rusty Pelicansm, eh? Did 'All I Have' with Slug and DJ Abilities. Great song, but I never got listened to any of their other stuff.

KharBevNor:
I would never, ever, ever use the phrase 'more indie than yours'*. I was just venting.
*Even though it's totally true. :p

MilkmanDan:
yeah, I know you're just venting, but I thought it was important to nip any potential flame wars in the bud.
And it's not true at all. I've already offered to send you some Hip-Hop that you might be more interested in, you shouldn't go judging genre's when you don't know about them.

KharBevNor:
I listened to some of it, I can't quite remember which, I deleted them, as I didn't like them and I'm reasonably tight on hard disk space.

I wasn't knocking hip-hop, more a sort of general point. Soz.

--- Quote from: KharBevNor ---Thing I don't get is, how all you guys claim to like good, unique independent music, then go salivating over commercialised mainstream tripe.

If you want some beats, try Hanzel und Gretyl or old KMFDM. Them's beats you can move to.

Disintegrate the disintegrator! \m/

Trying to explain hip hop to someone who doesn't feel it naturally, is, well, impossible.

KMFDM is certainly energetic, and it may be what you dance to, I've only heard one of their songs. I think I liked it; it was ages ago, but I'm not going to get dressed up, go to a club, get my drink on and dance up on somebody to one of their songs.

Shit, I'm trying to put a feeling into words here and failing miserably. Hip hop is about confidence, not always anger and not necessarily always aggression, it's about feeling like the smoothest motherfucker in a club (even if you aren't, I most certainly am not). It's about poppin' and lockin', even when you have more lock than pop. I just helped organize this on-campus event for a cultural group, and we invited this troop of b-boys and girls to perform, it was amazing! Everyone got up on their feet when they were deep into their routine. A lot of it is about sex too, now that I think about it. Take a peek inside any hip hop club the next time you happen to pass one by.

As an aside, I do love me a good mosh pit or house club etc... but those are different experiences entirely.
