Why I hate EDM...

[dj subculture]

Did you read that interview? ...

Ofcourse.
My point was that DJing pre-dates hip-hop.
Pre-Dates Disco.
In fact, most of the new dance genres of the last 20 years have been created by DJs.

If we were to believe most hip-hop, having the biggest house, the biggest pool and lots of cash created the idea of hip-hop. You're just THAT much cooler if you rap about it over an 8-bar beat and show it off in a video clip.
edit: if you really want to look gangstah mention in every sentence that your smoking 5 grams of weed every day. then your really hardcore!
LOL

You are referring to "Rap", not Hip-Hop

TRUTH. Often times people confuse the two when they are actually quite different when it comes to subject matter. Very little of the BS that is played on the radio, and that most of these kids listen to nowadays, classifies as "hip-hop". That's where you get all the nonsense about "bling, bitches, etc." Hip-hop, rather, contains subjects of actual meaning instead of placing emphasis on material things as rap does. Just figured I'd attempt to add some clarity to the recurring confusion of the two I've been seeing lately.

um... the first video that was posted was turned off when the guy was talking about "gettin paypa" about 3 minutes in... Using that video was a terrible precedent to start a thread with this one's title...

If you don't get it, you probably never will.

Of course they make references to making money, they actually "grind" to get it. By that I mean they tour NON-STOP to play shows at venues all over the country for $10 entry where the house probably takes close to half.
