    oh, and I'm going to India from May 9th to May 20th for work. That should be interesting

    there we go, just right. keep walking...

    Naw... We are going to let KISS FM (top 40) have that one. The song is a good club song, but our audience wouldn't feel it. Just on the name Will Smith alone it looses alot of hip hop credibility.

    Chuck you living where I live, you know how people look at Hip Hop/Rap in Texas. Will Smith is just a hard sell down here.

    Ahh...you've renewed my faith in you Boogie.

    Chuk, Rap and Hip-Hop are NOT the same thing. All Hip-Hop is not Rap, and all Rap is not Hip-Hop. Most of today's Rap is nothing more than Urban Pop music.

    This I know Coz... Yet... I think the actual music sounds are hip hop... The lyrical style would be classified as RAP... I feel that there is hard core, soft core, silly, comedy, forms of rap... with the kind of sounds the lyrics are over...

    Cuz Big Willie doesn't sing...

    ALthough I think RAP & Hip Hip are closely related!!!

    Nah, Hip-Hop music doesn't have a "style" or a "genre". When Hip-Hop was created there was no style of music.

    You can go from "The Mexican" by Babe Ruth or "Walk This Way" by Aerosmith (ROCK) to "Just Begun" by Jimmy Castor and "Sex Machine" by James Brown (FUNK) to "Nautilus" and "Mardi Gras" by Bob James (JAZZ) to "Love Is The Message" by MFSB and "Good Times" by Chic (DISCO) to "Trans Europe Express" and "Numbers" by Kraftwerk (ELECTRONIC)...ALL of that shit is HIP-HOP!!!

    Hip-Hop is beyond genre or style...it's a CULTURE! It's about freedom, creativity and originallity. It's about saying "FUKK THAT, I'ma do MY SHIT!" A TRUE Hip-Hop artist tries to find his own thing, set his own course, create his own sound. Back in the day the WORST thing you could do was not to steal another MC's rhymes, it was to bite another MC's STYLE!

    In this Rap shit biting styles is the rule, which is why most of this shit sounds the same. Rappers today are in it for the money, not the love. Almost every one of them want a track that sounds like the last Kanye West shit, or Dr. Dre shit, or Lil Jon shit, and they want to rap like 50, or Luda, or Eminem. They allow the majors and Clear Channel to dictate their music to them, to the point that they sound almost interchangable.

    That shit is NOT Hip-Hop...it's POP!
