Yeah, I think missy elliot and timbaland & magoo, slow down alot of the
beats to make them more dance freindly, Drum-n-bass is entirely to fast to
dance to that is the only reason I think it won't make a huge crossover
into hip-hop club scenes. I am from Baltimore, where fast house music is
the Life, but when my freinds from other states visit they have a
difficult
time adjusting to fast and overlapping beats which are very similar to
drum-n-bass. I was really glad to see the
Roots take a chance with drum and bass.
