This is what Hip Hop should have been.... just imagine a world where black people listen to real electronic music inspired by kraftwerk rather than stupid and talentless auto tuning crap ...
i wish i could say my generation was as musically creative as all yours. nowadays, all people make music about is sex, drugs, parties, cars, and money. where has the art of music gone to?
My first experience with music that talked to me, I had a c90 cassette with this recorded back to back on both sides, inspiring stuff, Looking for the perfect beat!
@Khultan well in truth i always went for the Electro-Funk then the Rap side of things so by the 1990's the world had changed with Rap on one side and Dance/House/Rave/Techno on the other.
@1988acid I tend to disagree, if you're using the American model. Of course, there are beastie boys but there are also Big Audio Dynamite in London, mixing up genres, you have Ari-Up, Dust Brothers, it all depends if you explore.
@Khultan Well i can go for 1970's,1980's Euro Disco,Pop,New Romantic,P-Funk, Electro,Rap from 1979-1987, Chicago House,Detroit Techno,Miami Bass,Go-Go etc but for most of the 1980's if you liked Rap you would of most then likely liked Electro,Go-Go etc yet i found most Rap fans from the 1990's to presemt day just like Rap and nothing else.
Mind you the only Rap i liked in the first half of the 1990's was the Ragga Hip Hop stuff by London Posse etc.
@1988acid agree with your assesment... back in the days there was very little seperation between club and hip hop, after awhile it seperated with the popularity of hp hop increasing, and people tended to rewrite history and connections between 'genres'...
Rap heads nowadays have no music knowledge, they barely even know the history of their own music let alone have an ear for anything else... it's sad because in 15-20 years they will have no classics to speak of...
@DjDedan Your so right about that as i also get the feeling that these Rap and Grime artists don't know there roots and the likes of Tu-Pac and Notorious Big who i couldn't stand and found it sad how they were bigger after they died didn't help the cause.
I have also read interviews with old Electro headz like Ice T and Dr.Dre and they never seem to talk about there past,Chuck D might not be know for Electro but he was around in the day and he never talked Electro before Public Enemy.
@1988acid haha yeah, its not sexy to talk about those days and those connections or maybe they just forgot, chuck was there he knows what's up, ice T had a couple of electro cuts (wreckless springs to mind) so he should know... and i'm sure dre was around then... yeah i'm not sure why people don't talk about the connections, i just feel in some ways HIP HOP has grown bigger than itself, today it has very little respect for anything and thus kids have no clue about their own music. shame.
does anyone know techno song that had music like this on 1:30. video for song that was on mtv about years 2000/2001. was about chick running from something in tunnel..that's all i remember :/
@Cujo2108 it is like it,but video is different(girl running from something in tunnel which is blinking like in supersonic video:),that is not that song,aw thx :)
@flyguy494 you know what time it is. a lot of people are trying to discredit the originators of the culture because they weren't there or they were not taught the truth.
1982............jr high school lunchroom............got so many days detention for breaking......thats when you got detention for doing something other than fighting...
breakin started with elements of james brown and kung fu.....rock steady crew in this video....the greatest to ever do it. bambaataa droppin knowledge. this is hip hop not mainstream rap that we see today...hip hop is supposed to say fuck the mainstream but some how we got lost on the way home.
@hotelmario510 I would say one of the first hip-hop songs with electronica going on. Remember, all rap didn't sound like this. There was also a strong funk influence with a lot of tracks.
@NYhistorian at least kraftwerk modernized hip hop, you should know that, without it, hip hop would be still that same old funk hippie whatsoever retro shit. Kraftwerk was one of the first modern music bands, which made music ahead of their time....
@prznt dude, i have nothing but respect for kraftwerk. in addition to being musicians, they are teachers and inventors of a lot of the technology we take forgranted today. they have mad patents. all i was doing was responding to a poster saying that hiphop wouldn't exist if it were not for kraftwerk which is false. second, a lot of people who comment here were not around and there needs to be some correcting on the history.
@prznt i think i'm aware of that. that's why i said you have jokes. also i don't see why you have a problem with my above texts. or do you just like knit picking?
@prznt what facts? i think you wanted me to dis kraftwerk and i didn't so now you're pissed. as far as my name, did you ever think for a minute that that is what i do? also i spoke to bambaataa a couple of times about this subject. you still haven't explained what was wrong with the above statements. you are stuck on the so-called egocentric name. what a cornball.
@prznt i'm going to just say this, and leave it alone because i really think you are a strange person. you seem to be pissed that i didn't dis kraftwerk and the fact that most hiphop was stemming from funk/soul, not electronica. bamabaata isn't hard to get with. i met him at a townhall meeting here in ny. he was with some of his boys from the zulu nation. when he's in town, he's always at events. anybody can talk to him. if you can't or won't believe it, that's your business. peace.
