Id find out where the break in the record was and prolonged it and people would love it. I cut off all the anticipation and just played the beats. So what I did was go right to the yoke. "Hip-hop .the whole chemistry of that came from Jamaica .In Jamaica all you needed was a drum and a bass. Kool Herc, is the only one out of the three that gives credit to his Jamaican roots for his early development of break spinning. ""Punch phrasing" playing a quick burst from a record on one turntable while it continues on the other and "break spinning"alternately spinning both records backward to repeat the same phrase over and over."Īfika Bambaata, Kool Herc, and Grandmaster Flash, are three legends of hip-hop. It led to techniques of punch phrasing and break spinning. One main reason why it developed here was because for "scratching" all that was needed was two turn tables and a mic this was relatively inexpensive compared to band equipment. "Scratching" took popularity in the South Bronx, a poverty-stricken area in New York. Dubbing was being called "scratching" in the states. This sound interested urban artists in the United States, especially in the African American community. "Dub is a kaleidoscopic musical montage which takes sounds originally intended as interlocking parts of another arrangement and using them as raw material, converts them into new and different sounds then, in its own rhythm and format, it continually reshuffles these new sounds into unusual juxtapositions." The next cut would be unpredictable creating suspense in a song, yet it was vital that the song still unfolded naturally. Then abruptly shut off the vocals, sometimes chopping off words and letting the band roll." Songs could be cut to pieces and be put anywhere on the record nothing had to sound smoothly.
In Jamaica, record cutters "began to dub out the band track right after the intro of the tune and during the first few bars of vocals, leaving the singers acappella. It usually was the B-side of Jamaican 45s, which was a remix of the A-side. The "dub" style of these mobile DJs stripped away melody to give reggaes deep, dark grooves throbbing prominence." Reggae music must be acknowledged for setting the beginnings for hip-hop, especially through reggaes use of dubbing.ĭubbing is an instrumental remix of an original tune. Using their own versions of mixing boards, since the 60s DJs around Jamaica had given "back-a-yard" parties where the bass and drum pounded like jackhammers. "Very significant, but little appreciated outside New Yorks Caribbean community at the time, was the introduction of the Jamaican "sound system" style to the citys party-going mix. Reggaes contributions in musical technology were at many times looked over as being influential in hip-hop. Most of all African-Americans of the inner cities and Jamaicans could relate with the hardships of the political, social, and economic conditions that faced them this became the root of hip-hop lyrics. Gangster rap and dancehall music would tell of everyday realities of living in the ghetto, including the violence always occurred. Leading youth to putting their minds and skills towards something else, rather than the violence that became daily in inner cities. "Showdowns" between emcees and challenges between dancers became competitive. The sound systems of Jamaica became the center of American inner city night-life. A variety of techniques would develop from this, one being sampling. Reggaes discovery of dubbing and toasting led to hip-hops emceeing (later known as rapping) and scratching. In todays uprise of hip-hop we must give credit to Reggae and the Jamaican culture from which it came from. Reggae has been at the fore-front of the development of music. With this you can only do one thing and thats listen. It makes us ask questions such as, how did they get that sound? Or what are they saying? Music can give off a variety of feelings. Music is one of the most influential factors of our lives it is thought provoking.
