I don't what it is...but the older I get, I just enjoy house, techno, more than anything else.

I was watching that video of DJ Mustard getting slapped by Mister Fab in the Booth, and I had to SMH...that's why I don't enjoy hip-hop as much anymore...too much negativity, too much focus on everything outside of the music...with that Chicago drill music all of the killing attached to it. I ha eto say it, but other than some of the music, I have officially divorced hip-hop in it's current state.

Now when I go to the club to hear house..it's nothing but unity and community. Everybody's having a good time...the crowd is diverse...you got blacks, whites, asians, latins, indians...gays, straights, punks, skaters, fashionistas, etc...enjoying the groove. No drama, no bad vibes. This is my house, this is our house, and I live here.

Word, i feel that hip-hop is heading back into that whole thug shyt from the 90's.
Never was into that hood stuff, i just like to hear people rap about their lives and shyt they go through.

I've been getting into the whole dubstep/techno thing now. Idk why, but when ever i listen to it i get mad happy for some reason.

Glad u recognized the error in your feelings about house music breh

Growing up in NYC, house music was the shyt the 90s were like the second golden era of house and the shyt was amazing. Frankie Knuckes, Masters at Work, David Morales, Todd terry, Kevin Saunderson, Carl Cox and so many more.....

House music is eternal.

I love Drum n Bass and Jungle...

When I started DJing and buying my first records in the late 90s/early 00s I had mad jungle and dnb selections.

I started getting into DnB and jungle heavy in the early 2000s and the shyt is just amazing. A whole genre that didn't exist in the 80s and came outta those early 90s jungle records.

I wanna go to the UK just to get it in at some DnB/jungle clubs nights because all the good DnB comes/came outta the UK. I fukks with Goldie (Inner City life is a fukking CLASSIC and puts me in a zone), Bukem (of course), D Bridge, Total Science, Andy C, High Contrast, Chase and Status, Alix Perez and so many more.

I remember listening to DJ Flight's DnB show on bbc radio a few years back and hearing some dope mixes.

And my all time jungle track is this. Joint is just classic status to me

dope thread, house music and rap music were on the same level in a lot of cities until the 90s when the crowds differentiated, rap became commercialized and more gangsta and house went to europe became techno and standard music at gay clubs but both house and rap have the same black origins

there was even an early "hip hop house" movement, somebody posted the jungle brothers joint there was also a latifah song, there were other ones that went into obscurity since the hip house movement never went commercial



although i think de la soul kinda signaled the separation of the rap and house (and maybe even the ending of native tongues since it can be interpreted as a diss to the jungle brothers who had the biggest "hip house" song) with this song


some other good house artists

ten city



i would say colonel abrams was more of a house/freestyle artist, but just throwing him in here just FYI



this youtube DJ is dope, he has some good house mixes and literally every other kind of music

props for posting that Colonel Abrams...love that song!

:patrice:Pretty sure it started in their clubs breh...
No it didn't.

It started in the black clubs in the 70s. In fact, disco and hip-hop pretty much started around the same time.

I was talking to an old head friend of mine in the club last night.

Studio 54 (and their bougie club entry policies) and the commercialization of disco was really the first attempt at white washing Disco and black music...trying to make it a white thing and removing it from it's roots in the underground black clubs.

Euro cac house is so soulless and sterile. It frustrates me because this music obviously has commercial viability (Euro cacs making $$$), but it never picked up as you said because Hip Hop totally overshadowed it. I don't blame Hip Hop musicians though, I blame MTV and their ilk for ignoring the movement and keeping it niche.

South African house :ohlawd:. These brothers brought soul back into House :salute:

Watch High Tech Soul.

Derrick May talks about his qualms with Paul Oakenfold in 1992 when he took the house/techno sound to a big stage on the u2 zooropa/zoo tv tour...
