Actually I'm sure that there's a lot of mainstream (and underground) rap being produced with FL. So many people on the ImageLine forums being all YO YO CHECK OUT MY BEETZ

If I remember correctly, Scooter also uses FL Studio. This was a while ago that I heard this, he may use something else now...

Tools don't make good musicians.

This is something very important that lots of people need to remember. A professional XYZ rarely requires gear ABC. Jimi Hendrix used a shitty knockoff amp he bought in a shop in England IIRC - the equivalent of buying a Chinese knockoff today. People are still tricked into buying a similar model thinking it will "make them sound like Jimi Hendrix". Honestly that's how a lot of vintage gear goes. Even a pretty mediocre piece of modern gear is usually more precise and "better" than vintage gear used by the pros of 20, 30, 40, or 50 years ago, but people will buy the vintage gear because they think it will make them maestros like those that came before. News flash: those maestros would have killed to have what we have today instead of their fragile, tube-filled, artifact-introducing gear they had to use back then.

Anyway that kind of turned into my ranting about the popularity of vintage equipment. Point is that there are indeed plenty of artists who use FL Studio and their music is just as good as somebody who uses Ableton or Cubase or Reason or whatever else. The tool rarely makes the man, after all.

Whut? >:? How the hell do you make an album like Arboreal in FL Studio: I mean, A Raw Understanding - in FL?! Now that's either just talent or he uses some outside hardware first for maximum post-production awesomeness.

I know Skrillex and Paragonx9 do.

Pretty sure Bassnectar, Bare Noize, Headhunterz, and Da Tweekaz use it too.

HHZ uses Cubase :P but you're right, it's not the tools that matter, it's how you use them.
