not appalled (sp?) but not impressed.

is there a vid/audio file that I've missed or is this kid some sort of local celeb that a bunch of you seem to know him?

Join the cool kids, fag.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOO Love the vibrator LMAO

in the US t-mobile has miserable coverage. I switched to cingular and I'm much happier now.

Tatu are A) Cuter B) More musically tollerable C) They have a few decent girly songs (maybe they seem more decent to me cuz I'm russian and their shit is actually pretty good for russian pop music) I NEVER knew you were Russian Xander thats class... Wha' do you live there now? if so where bouts? I am russian, moved to Chi-city (Chicago) when I was 2 years old.

huh, no one knows IF?!

Actually... the backstreet boys originally came to america almost as a "european phenomenon" because they had already established such a strong fanbase in europe. That's why they did the song "Backstreats Back" (i think) to say they're back in the US even though nobody cared about them before they left.

LMFAO! Diggla u killin me.

IDK what a BT dongle is (LOL sounds like a black dildo), but all it needs is a mini usb to regular usb cable, just like most standard digital cameras use.

Mine lasted for about 6 hours if you DIDN'T talk on it. If you actually wanted to talk you had about 45 minutes, tops.

Dub, you shouldn't feel bad. I kill crowds w/ some really cheesy records, and Steve has proven that mainstream if mixed well can rape any underground/indy/backpacker hop

They are mate, but have you ever heard some of the pop music from other European countries? It makes Right Said Fred look like NWA. Real talk. Europop blows.

What i don't understand is that she's on def jam... but dame dash is the one that "discovered" her???

i heard this is a hoax. they were intentionally trying to fuck it up and not follow directions.

OMFG! You too?! Shit drives me CRAZY!!

The coestistence of the social conditions and the availability of the tools led to the creation of the music. Hip hop happened accidentally. Herc didn't plan to create a movement or a culture or whatever. Without turntables, the need for music as a release for innercity youth would still be there, but like TBear said, it probably would have been satisfied in the form of drumming on buckets and stuff so the music would have probably been very different and it would have inspired a different dance, probably different lyrics, and I can't see that it would have inspired much graffiti, etc. I simply don't think that the resulting music/culture would be similar enough to hip hop to really call hip hop.

what a gaylord seconded 3rd. LMAO plur... I deserve a pat on the back for that.

I am personally very conflicted towards serato. Cons for SSL (aka pro's for vinyl): -I really like playing vinyl -I like stickering records n shit and seeing all my record sleaves -I like doing quick mixes and going through shitloads of records -After BPMing and stickering all my records, the task of now recording them all and re-"processing" (i.e. setting Cue points ON THE OTHER HAND Pros for SSL -LESS LUGGAGE!!! -NO WARPAGE!!! I have to DJ a friends party over thanksgiving break and I'm driving home to Chicago over break (4.5 hours). I need to bring 3 flightcases worth of vinyl and another crate. I would so badly love to just have 1 laptop that fits in a backpack or something and not have to bring 4 crates with me. Also, another thing that has pissing me of SEVERELY is warped records. I pay fucking $7 a piece for represses of LL's "Rock the bells" so that I could do the traditional rock the bells party rock juggle and they're both warped as SHIT! That's $14 down the drain. Those records are garbage to me now. With serato, if your record is warped, you replace it and you effectively replace ALL your warped records. This opens up the possibility of using a lot more records more versatily than if I used the real deal. tricky subject imo. leap of faith really. P.S. I hate seven inch, its the one legged retard of the vinyl world.

No offense to you guys, I love you and all, but I think the answers so far have been totaly oblivious of the origins of hip hop. Hip hop came out of the poorest living conditions in the US in the 70s. Computers and access to decent bandwidth etc., is still largely a luxury of business and the middle/upper class. Just like there are homeless people who collect aluminum cans and then sell them to recycling plants, do you think they would be able to do that if there were only "virtual cans"? The answers above, especially decisive's, that the "sound necessitated the technique" is really really way off imo. This assumes there was a hip hop sound before people were rocking doubles. Before doubles, it was just funk, soul and disco tunes that Herc played. When bam/flash figgured out looping via rocking doubles it opened up the way for MCs to really come in and start party rocking as opposed to just talking between/over tunes and that is what started rap and the "hip hop sound" as we know it. Likewise, to suggest that hip hop would have turned out like glitchcore is bogus. This is totaly ignoring the aesthetic preferences of urban, black & latino americans. If there is one thing "the hood" can simply not care any less about, its glitchcore or anything else that passes itself off as "Intelligent" Dance Music. Anyway, those are rebuttles, here's my stance. Without the analogue property of turntables and their general availability throughout all classes in society, there would be no hip hop. Hip hop developed because turntables were readily available in the hood and so were records. Just like the homeless guy who picks up the cans to make a few bucks from the recycling plant, the innercity youth made what they could out of what was readily available. The sheer suggestion of access to computers and decent internet access to this demographic suggests a totaly different quality of life from the one that caused the development of hip hop and therefore is simply absurd. P.S. I only attack the statements, never the person. PLUR

Vinyl and iPod for the same reason discuss said. Why do you ask?

OFFICIALY (unfortunate) ANNOUNCEMENT Since I have not found sufficient demand for the Pro-X and since the pro-xII is already scheduled for release already (which makes demand for the og pro-x even lower) I will not become a dealer of the Pro-X fader. Perhaps when the Pro-X II comes out I will try again. Sorry to anyone and everyone that waited and thank you for your faith.
