Why arent African-Americans more into techno?

[ltheghost]

nikkas not really jittin anymore. I used to jit back in the day, i guess I can see how you thought it was funny if you weren't into house and didn't grow up with it.

People do gay ass hustles now, or some popular mainstream dances. basically they can't dance and listen to south music or corny music.

Now I'm from the Sag, imagine my face back in 1997 when I first ran into some Detroit cats jittin..lol That Godzilla beat was sick but dudes were slidin underneath each other! I didn't know what to think. lol

Detroit was one of the last places to still have all the elements of hiphop.

Outta towners used to come here n clown that sh1t... But at least we would battle n1ggas at dancing and leave it on the floor.
Now even corny n1ggas talking about AKin the whole club up.

a lot of techno is boring soulless blippity blop shyt


that 'perculator' track one cat was talking about was str8 buttcheeks


how do u expect a certain genre to thrive, if 80% of the music don't evoke no feelings of joy, or feelings of anything in the damn listener

 

[Data-Hawk]

I am an old man, went to my first rave in 1990.

Deep House/ Vocal house is always got me. Breaks are cool and some Jungle I was into, but REALLY good deep house/vocal house??

That stuff was like suped up Soul music.

Im sure you guys know that the history of techno actually started in Detroit and the masterminds behind it were all african-americans. Jeff Mills, Derrick May, Carl Craig, Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson. These dudes pioneered one of the worlds leading genres yet it seems like americans have no idea who they are while they are very well respected over-seas. I was just curious why they dont get the love of rappers get who have had 1/2 the international influence these dudes have.

And for the techno haters listen to this and tell me it aint impressive

another thing about the music is that the tracks arent necessarily meant to stand alone, they are kinda ment to be heard in the context of being played by dj's and being mixed with other tracks.

everyone who is "into" techno also enjoys tripping way too much all the time. in my experience black people do not generally enjoy using psychedelic drugs recreationally.

is there another way they are used? Or rather is there another way black people DO like to use them

Techno is more "drug related". At least how I know it...
