Ohhh really , i keep hearing different things .i read in a book that minor
scales are good. Tonic is same as root? Or not?

there's no good or bad scale, just different.

dont worry about scales and modes. most dnb artists are uneducated teenagers in their bedroom with a cracked copy of reason, so any old collection of notes are acceptable

A lot of house djs say that using a minor key "can make a sweeter vocal line" or make it more "plaintive" whatever that means. But tbh, fuck them ^-what he said

Even when you think a track sounds major (happy) it can be minor, like this one:
