this kind of thing has been with me since the evolution of hardcore late
90 - 91 and 92... i jus didn't get it.. i thought it was poorly
produced, very poor samples and no real feeling or emotion inducing
material.
the term 'fun' was just a replacement word for 'no real musical content'..
basslines, strings, melody,percusion,echoes, vibes ...
no disrespect to the people that make it, there is alot of you who love
it, but i just can't take it seriously, and for me i don't like
disposable music....

well, that's the fun
the ladies seem to like it

To me that's the most interesting thing about that music: that some
women whom one might expect to find it offensive due to some of it being
grossly sexist, actually like it.
Andrea Parker has collaborated with DJ Assault many times on vinyl -
he's played at her events, she's played at his. What's going on there
then?!
On the one hand I feel that being opposed to anything with tends to
demean woman or fosters that attitude, is the right stance to take, but
on the other, I wonder whether I'm missing some modern (or post-modern)
sophistication which I might actually agree with, if I could understand
it.
It's something I'd like to explore.
Having said all that, some 'booty music' with or without lyrics can be
both fun *and* non-sexist.
E.g.s:
http://www.discogs.com/release/2169
http://www.discogs.com/release/46784
http://www.discogs.com/release/30028
Or are these more 'ghetto bass' or 'Detroit bass' than 'booty'? (I'm not
enamoured with categories and fine distinctions myself but some are.)
