lol it's funny when cats think they're posting disco when they're posting soul

The original Disco sound and the roots of Disco are Soul and Funk. Basically a funky and orchestral type of Soul and Funk was later branded as "Disco".

disco has to have a four to the floor beat.

The "Disco beat" is 4/4 with the hissing hi hat

The song that birthed that sound





...but not all early Disco songs had that. Isley Brothers song below was an early Disco record







That repetitive vibe is what lead to the Britney Spears and N*Sync pop shyt

Nothing Disco related about those artists. They used a regular Rock beat. The Disco beat led to House/Techno.



Hip-Hop was born out of the funk, James Brown. Sly Stone and shyt.

HipHop was born of Funk and Disco and it's from Disco where it got it's turntabilism



It was around before Disco,

Hell na:comeon: It goes like this, Soul-->Funk--->Disco--->Hiphop




and was the underground alternative to disco

Later on it was a hood version of Disco

Hip-Hop was born out of the funk, James Brown. Sly Stone and shyt. It was around before Disco, and was the underground alternative to disco, when whyte people were coking it up at Studio 54.

You're referring to the late 70's when disco got HUGE and a worldwide phenomenon. Disco was after funk and incorporated into it, not an alternative to it.

This is an example......



Hip-hop came out of disco which came out of funk.
