This is how looping and back spinning records came into play.
With the Deejay set up come 2 turntables, a microphone and a mixer.
Especially the cross fader became a much used thing for playing beats from one turntable to the other.
It probably started in the black community.
Afteral, they have a thing for rhythm.
Electronic music from drum machines and the like is probably more of a white thing.
I think Run DMC was one of the groups that made it more mainstream.
There were rap records before that.
But it started before they put it on records (record deals etc).
It’s a pity how it became all about pimps and hoes and violence.
And sometimes very anti white too.
Bill Cosby was a good role model for the black community.
Never about race issues in the Cosby show.
So ‘they’ went after him with rape allegations…
(yeah, i doubt he was guilty, but i’m not sure of course)
It wasn’t like that in the past.
Remember the Blues Brothers movie?
Thats what Ive always heard the name came from. Sure, people have been rhyming to music for thousands of years… but a fundamental aspect of rap/hip hop is the jazz influence, beats, etc.
Because I hate rap “music” I’m a racist? I have the largest collection of black music from the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s from Motown to Jazz to Blues. You’re just a typical overly sensitive snowflake. What’s happening to the youth of today?
The instant you begun to explain yourself you begun to rationalise the asinine accusation. I say it deserves a „go to your room” instead.
Listened to best of Motown in the car just this morning, nothing beats Marvin Gay, Pappa was a Rollin Stone and Isaac Hays. I bet the kid has no idea who these people and songs are. Peace.
I think your wrong… He had to defend himself against Stupid SJW knee jerk accuser…
Too much of that goes without response, and snowflakes are empowered….
You hate Rap? That’s fine…
But it’s not like anyone here has said I hate those &-$$$ and their music.
Big difference. I wish people looked more at what is said versus what they think people mean……
Saying you dont like “X genre” is pretty dumb in general IMO. I despise a lot of the country music that’s around today but love Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, etc.
In the same way that rock is an incredibly diverse style and genre of music, with new sub-genres every couple years even the same is true of rap/hip-hop.
I wouldn’t say I hate rock because I had only heard The Beatles, or Metallica, or Duran Duran, any other handful of bands. Its just way too general a term.
I think China already had cRAP reverse engineered, copied, in production and on the US market before it was ever officially released in USA due to prolonged Testing.
