Shxt - Snoop is so much closer to what electro is and was than Daft Punk are or ever have been like I said, electro is hip-hop - electronic hip-hop & electronic funk it's the meeting place between funk, as in R&B rooted funk, and hip-hop just because Daft Punk uses vocoders and have disco/robot imagery doesn't mean they are electro notice the beat in Snoops track - well electro - smack dab on the one
yes, Kraftwerk had 4/4 beats - but anyone claiming that Kraftwerk were 100% Electro are mistaken they *inspired* Electro a great deal - possibly without them it would have never happened the way it did as for pop - well not all rectangles are squares now are they? While electro can be pop music not all pop music can be Electro. Dre is well rooted in Electro - World Class Wrecking Crew? Total West Coast Electro vibes there. The home of the Popping & Locking - funk dancing! the only people you're going to confuse are those who don't know anyway so is Daft Punk an Electro group - only in France apparently MEK Rob G <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 12/03/2007 03:43:52 PM: > > I think the best response to a typical discussion such as this is to > try to confuse the arguments as much as possible. > > > > 1.
