I don't like the other Roni Size stuff, especially with that "diva" or whoever. BPB has that, um, guy rapping instead. It also isn't as "Alex Reece-y" as the other Roni Size stuff. =) >p.s. does anyone else get pissed when techno people stick rap and r&b >in their songs? leave it where it belongs! It's about as annyoing as >guitar solos in techno. Sometimes rapping can be done well if the song doesn't center around it. The best example of this I can think of is T.Power's "Bionic Chronic" with Skan Won. The song isn't overpowered by the rapping, and a lot of the song goes on after the rapping is done. What I dislike with songs that have rapping is that care isn't put into the other parts of the song. The voices are much louder than the other instruments and the song isn't interesting at all without the rapping. And the lyrics would have to be pretty damn great for me to listen only for that reason... Anyway - Bobby
