Brehs, teach me about disco...

[Easy-E]

...i know. But, I'm reading this book (History of the Business of Hip Hop) and my mind is blown at how disco is the basis of Hip-Hop/Rap music.

And I'm hearing disco in some of the music I love.

School me, brehs.

I also need to research rock and roll.

I just wanna be more muscially literate

i don't know too much about Disco but a lot of the very early Hip Hop records had live bands, usually disco players, making the music and they used a lot of disco breaks as well.

 

[Taadow]

Hip-Hop was all about breaks, mayne.

Before folks had the equipment to make beats, you just found a break clean enough to loop.
Disco cuts were like, 7-8 minutes long so they had 2 or 3 parts in a song you could chop.

Most of these fags couldn't tell you about anything before 2000 besides Jay, Pac, and Biggie, so don't waste your time.

I'm soooooo glad Marley Marl deaded all that shyt.

 

[ElectroMan]

Get hip on Chic. Bernard Edwards is one of the best bass players ever and Niles Rodgers is a pure genius musically. He made Daft Punk's Grammy album what it was.









Start off with the albums: Chic, C'est Chic, Risqué

Off The Wall--MJ's best album--is half disco.

Disco made hip hop.

Disco made pop music (EDM still to this day has disco roots).

Disco or non-disco Chic put out classic records.
