I don't remember seeing you on the dance floor in SF. I lead the way on the dance floor and look forward to some good salsa dancing in Miami, the city that keeps the roof blazing! No need to tell me there's no 'flava' in Madison. I already know and it drives me nuts! what do you mean ‘IF I can keep up’? I don’t remember seeing you on the dance floor in SF.

No need to tell me there’s no ‘flava’ in Madison. I already know and it drives me nuts!

How dare you compare the 'new and improved' Britney to the always great "Miss Jackson, if you're nasty!" Noah--I just ordered you a subscription to "The Source" magazine. Don't get it confused with the other mags you get that come wrapped in brown paper. =) I'll take you to a hip hop class sometime... Brian--I'm impressed you even know what BET is. We should hang out and hit up the clubs! You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder... Jason–BLASPHEMY!

The reason songs like this are popular is because they are club bangers, an important subset of hip hop/rap. All the rappers who put out club bangers do a new dance move with them to promote them. Think "2 step" or lean back, or even 5 years ago the petey pablo "helicopter" song (http://youtube.com/watch?v=-26bRZEedZg ) or all the way back to 2 live crew... http://youtube.com/watch?v=FEvBtrv5F-w Noah, I think you’re a few months behind. you need to listen to more BET or hip hop to keep up with trends. i wouldn’t be surprised if dancejam blows up. maybe its the 2nd coming of mc hammer…

Youtube and the like will be the launching ground for new talent over then next 10 years i am betting. Cost vs benefit. 2million$ video on mtv, or underground track release and 5000 homebrew videos of your music single? Which as a wider appeal? Which is easier to pull off for a start up artist?
