Almost 10 years of covering hip-hop, numerous run-ins and debates with 'headz', countless interviews - including with Busta Rhymes who said something like 'don't call my s***t techno!'. I have even asked them specifically, what do you think of styles like... A lot of it is that they don't know anything about the music. The only big name I have found with any knowledge of techno is Chad Hugo of The Neptunes. Hip-hop acts may play raves but they do it as a gig. I know hip-hop kids like Voiteck here who moved into techno and copped flak for 'betraying' hip-hop. I am sure when Eminem went along to the Wizard comeback in Detroit remembering Mills for playing hip-hop, and then when he heard the dreaded techno, he bounced. I know 'headz' whose views on techno are like Eminem's. It's the same way in which punks hated on disco - and it's often the teen male fans who are like that. I know some kids who even disapprove of DJ Craze playing drum 'n' bass. I am not talking about general hip-hop fans, I am talking 'Headz'.
