Dont say that!!
especially here in the south where boty shake is very popular, jungle/
drum n bas could work. I went to a party a while back that one of my
friends DJed at. he played hiphop e.t.c, and i asked him to try out the
jungle there And the crowd went crazy. they jusrt did there booty
shake dances, but at a faster pace. Who knows, it may have been the drinks
e.t.c., but they appeared to like it.

But as fdar as drum n bass crossing over to hardcore hiphop fans, thats
another story. Ive heard manywho dont like it, but which is to be
expected since drum n bass is more dance oriented, and kids today are too
cool to dance.
