When i first saw Hiphop Ejay I almost fell to the floor lmao cuz it looked so kiddy, the one I checked out had a little taggin section... In other words it didnt seem as serious, especially when you're messing with FL6, Cubase2, Reason3... Over $100 worth.... You kind of think "what can this $39.99 toy offer?"
Then A few days ago I heard some songs that had that hip hop flavor to them, and I wanted to emulate that... I couldn't get it right "manually" yet... but HHEJ hands this style to you on a silver platter. The simplicity of arranging songs, the speed in which you can make a beat, the samples that spark ideas, dam for 40 bucks it's worth the money!!! I have HHEJ 4 and I definitely see it climbing the charts.
I know it has it's nasty limitations, but all my other expensive programs can clean up the mess (thats why I paid so much!!!) If you use HHEJ as training wheels then you're already on a profround road towards vast creativity, hip hop wise...
