Whatever! adding artificial and euro beats to RnB takes away all the
sticky, steamy soul and makes it impossible dance music. Leave it as it is
and stop trying to rape another art form. That remix with tribe Called
quest meets ? and he added all these displaced drum and bass beats to hip
sounded awful. Roni size on the other hand keeps in tack and takes hip hop
to Rnb, same with Diesalboy, use samples but Dnb with Rnb sounds jumbled.
