i know someone here explained it to me once. it was something along the lines of... the beats are faster and more electronic sounding or something like that. but that just sounds like regional rap music with a distinct sound to me. seems like saying g-funk isn't rap cause it has its own distinct style... it's still rap it's just a certain style of rap. anyway i know there are english people on here who might care to argue this with me and i'm bored as **** as usual so here it is.
