Wanna hear how reggae, techno, rap, and dance mixed together sound?

[Rescue Mission]

a true masterpiece of music if you ask me

the little fat guy is such a playa in this video too, gotta love it

p.s. the chicks are hot too clearly, but the music is hotter

 

[Upside]

The only real good songs to come out from Bob Sinclair is World Hold On (Best one), Together, and Love Generation. I feel like a lot of the songs (like the one you posted) try to mix too many different genres and in the end make the music sound sub-par. In general, his music is pretty sweet though even though I don't like the song you posted.

 

[backbreaker]

not really.. can't say that i really do

 

[Alle_Gory]

Sounds almost like Indian music.

Is this a joke? Please tell me it's a joke. I might not be able to take you seriously anymore, ever.

share your opinion on why you don't like this song.

Edit: Alle Gory - what is hill billy about this song? It's a short fat reggae-ish black guy singing to the techno beat from Calabria.

This song is as far from Country as you could get........i don't hear any guitars and I don't see any rednecks.

Can someone be logical with me at all?

He's just poking fun at your hill billy like taste. For example, calling KFC a fine dining restaurant is like calling this song a masterpiece.

Hill Billy's listen to this type of music? I think you are using the wrong race for your stereotype.

Hmmm... it used to be called 'dubstep', before it flamed out as its own ultra-specific genre

 

[mpimpin]

I can't stand that guys voice... but the beginning of the video is funny

Probably.

It should be self-explanationary to anyone who's single source for music isn't MTV, and Alle_Gory made the perfect comparation already, but here goes.

You're calling a song with some some guy with a digital voice, simple beat and lyrics a "true masterpiece of music". It doesn't have much to do with music anyway, since I don't hear any real instruments. There's nothing special about this, there are thousands of songs like this that plague the airways. The clip is nice though, but that hasn't anything to do with the song itself.

But yea, to each his own I guess, lol.

this song is not mainstream and has never been touched by MTV.......the beat is HOT without a doubt.....i dont see how someone could hate on that beat because it sounds really fresh and fun.

 

[Rogue]

this song is not mainstream.

As a connoisseur of underground electronic dance music and techno, the song has a very mainstream commercial sound and structure. One of the long outstanding hallmarks of underground electronic music is the freedom to break away from conventional formulaic lyrical structures, but the song seems to only reinforce the stereotypes.

 

[wait_out]

I won't front on the Calabria drums, which are actually pretty awesome though I'm not really that keen on the bassline or hook.

But I will back Rogue in saying there is TONS of amazing dance music out there which is much farther off the map than this song. XLR8R runs a podcast and they are consistently on the bleeding edge of what's going on. Aside from the tempo, there's a lot of dancehall songs with similar production to Calabria:

Diwali Riddim
Coolie Dance

These ARE mainstream Rescue Mission, because Sean Paul broke both these songs in the US as 'Get Busy' and 'Feel Alright', respectively. I love these beats -- but they're not exactly hidden gems.

In the end if it makes the girls dance though... what do you care what anyone thinks of it? It's not a contest...

 

[Rogue]

I was just thinking that if you want to hear real underground dance music which is a real cross-fertilization of musical ideas:

[Rho]

how is that cross fertilization? it sounds like hard techno to me.

hard?? you must be joking.... its just average house-ish, with a good kick-drum to it

now THIS is hard .... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVnwn54Y_Fc
