168 sounds real fast to me. Are you talking beats per minute? I'm thinking it ranges between 85-110. Anything above that would be crazy. House and Trance is around 150-160, more comerical dance is around 140, Jungle is around the upper 160's, and hardcore can get up to 180. Thats a very cursery break down of genres, but its a good representation of the spectrum of speeds

Math teacher in the house... (lol)
168 bpm divided by 2 = 84.... which would be probably more like it... the thing is you can make a beat at 168, but with all of the instruments separated... (with more space between each hits, I dont know how to say it...)
Well if each bar is in 1/8...

If im doing an original track i start out around 90bpm. if im working with samples it all depends on the sample of course.

I've used a 130 bpm but sounds like 90 bpm because the measurement wasn't 4/4th... all relative hehe

I'm sorry but this all sounds like "fuzzy math" if it's hip hop and its at 200 bpm then its some weird setting where it's really mathematicaly 100 BPM... hip hop is average is between 90 to 110... plain and simple

I think if you really had to narrow it down, a stereotypical hiphop track is 93bpm...lol, I have actually heards so many tracks at just over 90bpm, but its not really fair to say a genre has a certain range of tempos, expecially in hiphop where a lot of the time it depends on the sample.
I like to vary the tempos I'm working with quite a lot, but I reckon for the most part I'll work at around 70-80bpm which is pretty slow...but really syncopated drum patterns can sound really nice and 'floaty' whereas at higher bpms a more syncopated drum pattern cound sound a little too hectic for anything other than a break, and a lot of the time I aim for atmospheric or subtle/mellow sounding stuff so it wouldn't really work for me.
Alot of old school hiphop is faster than most stuff now, possibly because more artists had breakers and body poppers in mind....I'm not sure to be honest

He must be seperating the hits more than you do because if you half them tempos they are 70 to 110, which is around the right tempo for hip hop.
