Akon: "Dr. Dre is about to drop a dance record."

[D-Nice]

Before you guys freak out..."California Love" is a dance record. "Still D.R.E." is a dance record. Pop = popular music.

Pop isn't necessarily "Dance" music. As you said "Pop" is "Popular Music", but "Dance" is a genre as well.

I'm thinking by Dance, he's referring to electro sounding music at around 120 BPM... at least that's my interpretation.

Yeah that is my thoughts on dance as well. More along the lines of house or techno

I have seen people go buckwild when they heard Still D.R.E., but it's not a dance song. Dr. Dre did a song with David Guetta and you expect them to have done a hip hop record together? That song he did with Black Eyed Peas must be a hip hop record too then. In fact, here's another nice dance song:

But before you all freak out, let's give this song a chance before we hear it.

[MontrealCity's Most]

Sometimes "record" refers to just one song, not an entire album.

I don't see why people are so surprised, like they forgot Dre did California Love, or even a few Gwen Stefani joints that are as far from hardcore hip-hop as you could imagine.

very true califronia love was mad pop and

Whats my name by snoop was mad commercial and so was my name is by eminem

[Skindiana bon3z]

Still d.r.e. is a dance record?

lol@ that. You're spot on Effex. Whatever Dre comes up with, I'm sure it will be a hit. But damn, what's with hiphop/house crossovers?

?? Aye. Those tracks considered pop because they got mad airplay? California Love is just horns, nothing pop about it, that and Whats my name sampled old school funk.

Yeah, exactly


Cali Love and Still DRE were straight Hip-Hop records that became popular...

You could dance to them, but they definitely weren't "dance' records as far as genres go

You can probably dance to the Rolling Stones and shit too, but dudes weren't making dance records

[Dre-Day]

fuck a dance record   i blame Timbaland's influence for this.

the news is strange though: out of all the people, Akon got the chance to hear this record?  

[Fresco]

Yeah back in '96! I doubt that he will be able to be better than 2 Unlimited

[MediumL]

sounds like hes torn as to what he should put out. He should look to BP3 if he wants to keep it hip hop and still have success.

[UKnowWhatItIs: welcome to my traps....game over]

lol at some of y'all thinking dance=popular music. It's a genre of music just like hip-hop or rock.

Come on man, just because "California Love" was a huge hit doesn't make it a dance record.  That shit was hardcore, but it was just so damn dope that it blew up mainstream.  Yeah sure, you can dance to it, but I could also dance to "Nuthing But A G Thang" or "Wit A Dre Day" but that doesn't make them dance records. 

...Anyway, let's wait till we hear this dance joint before we criticize it.
