In relation to what you said Stevie G, I am a general music fan, yes house is my love, but like a broad spectrum of music nevertheless. But it's ridiculous for you to be comparing "Barbie Girl" and house, and "50 Cent" and hip hop. While yes i know "50 Cent" isn't hip hop, i think you'll agree there is alot closer relationship between the two than there is between fuckin "Barbie Girl" and Carl Craig.
Plus i have often heard "some djs" in cork playing some of the more known shit, that in my naive opinion i think is crap, and pass it off as a hip-hop night. I yet have to hear "Barbie Girl" being played in Audio or Go Deep or by myself etc.....
