Why not rap?

fL!gHt 240 · Posted: Tue Jun 10, 2003 9:22 pm Post subject: Why not rap?

Two people have replied me and said rap jus won't work for DDR. I'd like to know why not. Tell me why rap jus can't reach DDR's standards. Rap is very deserving of our ears and energy. Come up wit a good response to why not rap?

Wonderland anyone?...

Hell yeah you can dance to rap, well, hip hop anyway, they always play it at the school dances, I hated it at first, but I'm starting to like it now.

Sooo... you can't dance to rap, eh? I guess it's okay to flail around like a spastic retard at 300+ BPM though.

Well, at least one person thinks rap deserves a place in DDR! Any body else out there? give me an answer!

Rap + DDR = No Good

I dunno...I just can't see it.

But isn't Daikenkai sorta maybe considered a rap song?

Try finding a Club Mix sometime.

... yeah, right. Like that's possible in the U.S.

Try finding MP3s of music from DDR Club Mix. None of it is totally "rap", but a good few songs from the music there have an R&B-ish and rap feel to it.

That quote is gay.

Anyway. . R&B and DDR make a good mix but I don't see Rap either. . .it's not that I don't like it .. but I don't want to see Country in DDR either.

There are a few songs with some rap, like B4U and Super Star. Daikenkai is pretty "rappy" too.

There are some songs with rap, but it just doesn't seem like a genre of music that you normally would dance to.

Actually a lot of songs have a rap in them, as cheesy as the rap is sometimes.

Dynamite Rave, Get up and Move, Super Star, Wonderland, Daikenkai, Dance Dance Revolution, 1998, Little Boy, Maximum Overdrive, No Limit... etc.

1) Daikenkai, Little Boy, Maximum Overdrive, and B4U ARE NOT RAP SONGS.

2) I'm one of the few people in my arcade or prolly my state that picks songs like Let The Beat Hit Em' (R&B Style), Get Up N' Move, Make It Better, Put Your Faith In Me, songs like that. I'd love to see a few more, more popular rap songs in DDR. Like Don't Mess With My Man (Club Mix) by Nivea, and Gossip Folks (Short Edit)

C'mon DDRNERDS

we listen to you guys over pick MAX300 and Twinbee, and Paranoia Survivor MAX. We don't give you beef about yur songs don't give us beef about ours.

eh i dunno, i really enjoy listening to rap and i wouldn't mind dancing to it or playing it on DDR but i prefer stomping on arrows to jpop and eurobeat but thats just me ^^

if you really want some rap songs in ddr make some DWI's or look for other people's DWI's with rap songs. i have one of Baby Got Back, which is fun to play, so other people might have done some DWIs of rap songs, give it a try

Hmmmmmmm

-Superstar
-Strictly Business
-Highs Off U
-Caution
-1998
-Hyper Eurobeat (Has a guy flowing in it)
-Let The Beat Hit Em!
-Let The Beat Hit Em! R&B Style

Just to name a few...(Maybe not gangsta or hardcore rap/mainstream) but awesome songs to improv to/breakdance to. Especially Strictly Business and Caution.

Hip-Hop dancing/breaking has become a huge part of my emotional life.

To me it doesn't really matter if DDR has rap or not, it can be better with it than without it. I preferably don't mind, but it's cool.
