Check out Madlib that kid uses a little cheap drum machine and makes fire! not a bad article but of course its hard to sum up an entire genre of music in one article. there is a lot missing but for the newbies it’s a good start. missed a lot of stuff like sugar hill gang, curtis blow, no mention of dj premier, dougie fresh, PE, MARLEY MARL…hehe that dude started sampling in hip hop. people also think that because hip hop music sounds easy to make that they aren’t using musical talent. dr dre actually studies the piano (he’s taken one one one lessons from a famous composer) the roots are almost entirely live music and NOT loops and samples, there are other producers like this that don’t just loop a sample and beatbox LOL.

Any effort to define it and break it down always falls shirt. The samples chosen here werent the best examples for the sub-genres they were supposed to define. Hip-hop is what it is.

Actually, a while ago I found out why radios have tuning dials. It's so when you move house you can find BBC Radio 4 again.
