Topic: Roots of hip hop music


  
 Hip hop music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The terms rap and rap music are often used to describe hip hop music; the terms rap music and hip hop music are generally synonymous, although rap music is usually not used to describe hip hop songs without vocals.
This style was innovated predominantly in soul and funk music, where beats and thematic music were repeated for the duration of tracks.
Hip hop is a cultural movement, of which music is a part (as are graffiti and breakdancing).

 Roots of hip hop music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
scat singing, using the voice to imitate a musical instrument.
Lastly, most existing hip hop acts were shocked when King Tim III's throwback to radio DJs rhyming jive and the Sugarhill Gang's appropriation of rap on their remake, not sample, of Chic's "Good Times" were released, as most DJs and MCs knew each other and many had been attempting to record (Toop, 1991).
Disco-inflected music (though comparatively little actual disco) was one of the most popular sources of beats in the first ten or twelve years of hip hop's existence.

 hip hop :: The Encyclopedia of New York State :: Syracuse University Press
Musical style with funk, rhythm and blues, and ethnic roots, characterized by a strong beat, intricate mixing of recorded music, DJing, and rhythmic song-speech known as MCing or "rapping." Rap evolved in the Bronx in the mid-1970s as part of a wider subcultural movement that also included break dancing, graffiti, and other cultural practices.
Hip hop competition also brought disparate ethnic groups into a forum where musical ideas were shared and improvisational musical conventions evolved.
Rapping, the vocal component of hip hop, may have antecedents in Jamaican music genres of talk-over and dub, both of which feature song-speech called toasting.

 History of hip hop music
Hip Hop music is also in the black church.
Back in the days of slavery when slaves were on the plantation singing spirtual songs they were using a form of rap music.
Many times what was written on paper is forgetten at concerts and the rapper just starts rapping off the top of his or her head.

 Exploitation of Women in Hip-Hop Culture
Censorship of hip-hop music is not the solution.
The most powerful and influential part of hip-hop culture has come to be rap music, a form of poetry that is said over musical instrumentation.
In recent years rap music has developed a reputation of being brutally honest, violent, and misogynistic.

 Weekend: The Roots of hip-hop
The Roots are absolutely the last group of black musicians with a major label record deal, which is sort of a sad thing.
The Roots is unique in that it is actually a hip-hop band.

West is not a racist, and he puts out good music.
Such is the case with Lovage's "Music To Make Love to Your Old Lady By"...
genius in parody and homage : Lovage manages to mock, revere and perfect R&B crooning, Meditteranean folk music, hip hop, Euro.trash sleaze and lounge singing all together...

You can imagine all the different types of music I was listening to at age 6.
Well…I was a fan of hip-hop music for many years before I started to make beats.
Who are the people that are serious about the craft, and who are the people that are doing hip-hop music to have fun.

 British Hip Hop @ Roots
The chemistry between producer Amp Live and lyricist Zion is somewhat reminiscent of old Tribe Called Quest, as is the subject matter of much of their music.
, I was genuinely very disappointed when I heard their album, when what I had been expecting to hear was another reason why UK hip hop should be up their with US.
The release of this album marks a step up for San Francisco Bay Area veteran MURS.

 Music and Culture
Speaking of guitars, back in 1979-1981 I got my start in the music biz with two self-titled LP's, "Volume I: A stone's Throw," and "Volume II: Neither Here Nor There." They were released on my own label, Black Snake Records, and sold well before going out of print in the mid-'80's.
Hip-hop is also part of the transatlantic continuum of black music; for a sense of how funky the diaspora can get, drop by the

For almost five years, they honed their skills, before self-releasing their first album, Organix in 1993.

 Various Artists: Tommy Boy Presents Hip Hop Roots - PopMatters Music Review
One of the nice things about having your own record label must be the ability to curate and release albums like Hip Hop Roots, essentially putting a corporate marketing department and international distribution behind your own mix tape.
That's what Tommy Boy founder Tom Silverman has done here, collecting a dozen 1970s and '80s tracks that, as he puts it, "[represent] and still [are] the cornerstone for Hip Hop".
On its cover artwork, Hip Hop Roots also claims to include "[t]he original soul, funk, & rock songs that inspired hip hop classics".

Deep, somber strings and overwrought opera samples weave through irresistibly catchy Funk anthems, while spy-soundtrack piano vamps and jazzy acoustic basslines lead into twitchy Jungle breakbeats.
Very few acts bring together acoustic instrumentation and electronic manipulation with this much success -- the Federation have truly updated soul music for the twenty-first century.

 The Roots at CALISKATZ.COM Hip Hop Music
Though popular success has largely eluded the Roots, the Philadelphia group showed the way for live rap, building on Stetsasonic's "hip-hop band" philosophy of the mid-'80s by focusing on live instrumentation at their concerts and in the studio.
Though their album works have been inconsistent affairs, more intent on building grooves than pushing songs, the Roots' live shows are among the best in the business.
Album is set to drop on November 26th 2002
