More than just an "H"

[T-Fi]

There has been a great deal of discussion recently about the relationship (or lack there of)between House and Hip-Hop. Personally I see a lot of similarities between the two. Is it possible for House music and Hip-Hop to thrive together actually making each other stronger? It seems that there is such deviceivness within these genres as they stand. I mean it just kills me when the Hip-Hop heads turn a deaf ear to House music. Aren't these two art forms closely rooted? It think there is a huge market out there for house music in the Hip-Hop world. Puff's on the right track but for all the wrong reasons. What do you think?

Vice versa....true!
Hip Hop is out there, everyone has had a chance to try it, you either love it or hate it. House hasn't gotten nearly the same exposure that hip hop has. Maybe thats a good thing, but my point is there are loads of people that simply dont get exposed to house music, a music that if presented properly would be of great interest to them. I mean they have to stop listening to little bow wow sometime. You dont think peeps would want to hear that lathun and india aire ish. Do they know about it?
