The way I see it, Hip House was a sound of a particular time. It came up and thrived around the same time of New Jack Swing.

I remember the "club/House" sound was very dominant in mainstream music for quite a while. Especially during 1989-1992. House/club music was in vogue and hip house came out of that b/c it had roots in dance music. Dance shows like "Club MTV" were big @ that time and you even had weekly video shows on MTV called "House Party" [which I miss like crazy], Soul Train used to spin it next to new jack, etc. that's how big it was.

Salt-N-Pepa's "Expression" was hip house! And you're right Queen Latifah was doing the damm thing with "Come Into My House" off of All Hail The Queen. Heavy D had a hip house track with "Now That We Found Love." It was even so prevalent at the time, everybody was getting in on it, you had Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch with "Good Vibrations" as late as '92, around that time I noticed a a backlash was surfacing for instance De La Soul made a comedic response track called "Kicked Out The House" on the De La Soul Is Dead album. I guess hip house went out of fashion because of changing tastes. But you can still spot it here and there.

I consider a lot of UK Garage to be an extension of hip house. Stuff like Roll Deep, Lady Sovereign, etc.

I think I need to get away from this thread as quickly as possible. Bye.

I use to love this music!!!

My favorite is "Everybody Everybody" by Blackbox?? is that right?

Eventually I'm gonna get my hands on Technotronic's seminal 1989 album Pump Up The Jam.

Because people with boring tastes were more interested in shit hop than hip house.

Yo, thank you to this thread, because I've been getting lifted off of the Technotronic LP.

Nah, I don't think that was it. Besides, Gangta Rap came before that. Hip House just ran its course. It wasn't very good.

More recently Missy,Eve, & Rah Digga experimented with it...in particular Rah-Digga's "Party & Bullshit" which came out a few years ago...was hiphouse.

BTW, I went to the Boys Noize / Para One concert on Thursday and guess what, during Boys Noize's mixing he threw back to, none other than, Technotronic's Pump Up The Jam!

WE WERE GETTIN LIFTED TO IT! I was up in the venue acting a fool singing the hook while he spun!

Nah Digga's 2nd album never saw the light of day...I believe it was supposed to come out on J.records...last I remember some of the tracks were available for download on her site...I believe for like .99cents a track or something like that.

My friend Kid Cancut and I were DJing a house party (actually I just brought some of my records to this one and I didn't mix) on St. Patrick's day and we got into our 120 bpm set, and I told him to throw on "Pump Up The Jam" and that schitt was HOTTTT!

yo, i recently got this cd. it's pretty good workout music!

I kid you not: Late '80s/early '90s club is going to make a comeback in some form or fashion.

Mara said:

I think it is right now cuz all the DJs are our age.

I know I heard "The Power" by Snap
