i mean, i dont know how much time youve spent in bmore, but one of the
great things about it is club music. they rock it on mainstream hiphop
haha, not much, but i've been knowing about it, i remember when it first
popped up and former list member legend teep was all about it. there used
to be a label called knuckleheadz (sp?) that i was really into...i sold
all of it tho..
down here we call it bmore club.
Man, I really never got into that stuff when I lived there. It just sounded
like garbage re-hashed hardcore with incredibly tired beat samples to me. It
still eludes me. I also think it's hillarious that Tittsworth is making that
stuff now. When I lived there he was a drum n' bass DJ. I never would have
expected that move, especially given the way that DC always lapped up drum
n' bass.
the mid-atlantic is a cool place musically, i mean it's crazy go-go music
is still big in dc and most of the rest of the country has never heard of
it, much less actually heard the music...and it's all over fm radio there.
Yeah, go-go is good. They used to have a good prime time Sunday night show
on FM radio. You get bucket drummers all over the streets in D.C. as well,
which is kind of an extension (or maybe the origination) of the go go
rhythm. Phred's a bit more of an authority on this stuf than I am. I guess
what I was gonna say is that I couldn't see it as farther away from the
Bmore club sound, but your point is taken that it's interesting that these
two isolated musics have popped up in such close proximity to each other.
