Queen invented hiphop....

agreed. :)

If "Nelly n 50 cent and other shite...." would play something like Another One Bites The Dust continueing the saint work of Queen, I'd call them GODS. hehehe ;*

i'd call them cunts :P

hehehe :)
dufffff

hahahaaaaa

Queens' versatility no doubt tasted and created the most funky urban tunes that there ever was... and to the focused minded yeah they probably invented hip hop in their eyes... but the rock gods went down this ally to really get the attention of all you music lovers in the world thats it.

Queen invented hip hop is just as lame as No Doubt invented reggae and ska lol!

but one thing for sure they have in common is they used those riddims and made sucess!!

Queen is a rockers delight of a band I think! cos their catalogue is not strictly rock.... and for all of you music store lovers it aint strictly pop!

Yes, although I did say that other day

'Fuck these fucking bastards! I'll kill the man who invented hip-hop!'...then I realised my one true purpose on Earth...to kill John Deacon...and Freddie Mercury....again!

Actually I think Brian May invented rap with wwry. Think about it it has only a simple backbeat most of the way through and Freddie is more talking than singing. This predates aobtd by 3 years. Think about that shit , it is mind blowing ..... wooooo.

That's about as dumb saying that The Police invented reggae. 'Another One Bites The Dust' is not even hip-hop, but a funk song.

Hip hop already existed before 'Another One Bites The Dust'. Sugar Gang Hill had perhaps the first hip-hop Top 40 hit with 'Rapper's Delight' in 1979. The genre already existed as an underground cult form of music. The only reason why hip-hop didn't become popular instantly was because it was too overshadowed by disco. Once disco died hip-hop had it's way open to those who were tired of disco (pretty much everyone) and become popular as a new experimental form of funk.

I keep reading in snobby album review guides that Queen stole the bass riff from Chic's Good Times..It is similar, but do you think it's a rip off? The bass player from Chic actually said in an interview once that John Deacon was in the studio hangin' with them around that time.

" "who cares about hip hop??"

Uhmm... most teenagers in the US. It has become their culture. For anyone who listens to music more than casually, I think their intelligence is in most cases directly proportional to the music they listen to. So with that theory, look at this generation of kids who listen to rap music and cast your vote."

uh not I, I DONT listen to hip hop, and I promised myself I wouldn't, ... Its stupid shit...

Rap can be traced back to the Rolling Stones' "Shattered" too.

So is most of the Top 40 in other parts of the world all hip-hop/rap too (like here in the US)? Do you all think it's going to start evening-out more so that EVERYTHING isn't hip-hop like it is now?!?

I used to like hip-hop...in 1984....

Turns you into a right wanker I tells ya.

I hate those doof doof boys you hear at the lights heaving it up with their pimp dog homeslice G, mix-o-matic!

Mind you I usually murder them and eat their skull later on.

well,it's all about the words in the lyrics of a song. What kind of message it's sending to people, that's all. I like all kinds of music, but I sway more to rock.

I like music with chords in it :)

"Queen were nothing like hip hop.
They were musicians."

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaamen!!!
