  1. I'm looking for up and coming brands that are unknown now to the general public but are sure to blow up soon. Nudie would have been perfect if they traded publicly. True religion for example, made a huge leap 2-3 years ago when the mainstream discovered it, but is now sure to plummet. I want to catch the next true religion right before it gets trendy.

    SF needs a nudie IPO. We would all make enough money to buy the 45 rpm store.

  2. ^^^ SWEET. does it matter that i didn't buy them in the store? I don't want to go and embarrass my self either. HOw long does it take to do the job?

  3. I get what you mean OMC. But the question that sums up my whole arguement is basically this. If it didn't have the dem bow beat, would it still be reggaeton? To me the dem bow beat is not an option because as soon as you say fuck it and put a different drum patterm it stops been reggaeton. There are people who are trying to push the limits and make the dem bow more varied.

  4. how would people dance to music if the drum patterns weren't consistent from song to song? shit, i don't know- when you go to the club, do you listen to only songs that have the exact same drum pattern? well, you may, since you listen to reggaeton. but normal people, who listen to other music, are fully capable of dancing to a wide variety of songs that have different tempos and drum patterns. a good DJ will perform the act of 'beat-matching' throughout his set. and that is how the fuck people dance to that shit.

    songs with different drum patterns do not represent a different genre, because a drum pattern does not a genre make.

    First of all, I have 8+ years of formal musical training too. I say 8+ cause im still in it. So that doesn't impress me.

    NO. In DANCE genre's the pulse and drive must be similar for it to be danceable. For example, jazz.

    In bebop-hardbop-postbop (etc)The drum might play something wildly diferent from tune to tune. That's because it isn't dance music. In swing, the drum and bass must mantain a stedy pulse and rhythm so dancers can dance.

    Any dance music from swing to techno, MUST have a steady pulse and some instruments, or synths (like bass and drums) outlining the beats. It is what keeps order and makes something danceable.

    Don't belive me? Try dancing to avant-garde.

    And notice i never said drum patterns make genres. I said if every reggaeton song had a different drum track, every song would be it's own DANCE genre.

    In reggaeton, anything can be played and sound like reggaeton as long as it has the drum track. The drum track isn't what needs to change from beat to beat, it's everything else.

    Let's take salsa for example. It can be played in many tempos and still be danceable.

    But somethings have to remain there from song to song in order for it to be danceable AS SALSA. Such as the clave.

    Everybody knows reggaeton is based on the dembow riddim...SO WHAT.

    It was expanded to accomodate a whole genre. It isn't the first time a song suggest or starts a genre.

    Your point would be WAYYY more valid if we where talking ONLY about the playero era. Now, it is only ignorant. According to your logic, if every reggaeton track has the same beat, then so does every hip hop track.

    You can't mind rape me, im wearing a mental chastity belt.

    I will own you just like ozawa vs dizon thread.
