Because the average person who grew up after the 1970s and ’80s had no idea what they were. When they heard a rap song, they thought it was an interesting sound, like, “Wow, this is cool,” or “I wonder if that means what I think it means.” It wasn’t really a concept album; there wasn’t […]
You can always find a friend with an old laptop or a cheap old console – anything that will run some music. Get familiar with the programming language you’ll need; there are all sorts of resources online that can teach you (I can recommend this). Start with a few tracks and practice some bits of […]
Here are a few answers: Rap is an extremely fast (over 120,000 BPM) dance rhythm. It is similar to jazz, where a bass line plays at a fast rate and the tempo is quite fast, as is the case for rapping and rapping beats. It is not the greatest tempo in the world, but very […]
When the average value of two integers is multiplied by 2, each of the two values increases by 2 times (i.e., a 2×2 value or double-length integer). So, we can divide an integer by two just by multiplying the integer by two. For example, we have 7.5 as 2 in our example, so 6 (2×2) […]
Yes, but I can’t sing. What do you think about Apple? Apple is an evil corporation that wants to buy Spotify. I’m sorry, I don’t know what that does. But that’s what they’ll try to do, and it’s going to be really hard to stop it. What do you think of Google’s (X) Project Glass? […]
Nah, I’m not. But what are the songs that Suga’s doing right now? “Boys” by Big Sean, “Toxic” by Waka Flocka Flame, the new “Boys Don’t Cry” song, “Boys Like You” by Lil Jon, “YM” by Justin Bieber and “Cum for Candy” by Kanye West, with all that crazy shit. So what other music has […]
Yes. It might be the simplest explanation, but I believe it will take more than an explanation to break the habit of getting in a beat groove by doing something simple like putting a beat at 0:1. The most important thing to remember when you rhyme over a loop is: if you don’t know what […]
If you ask me “who is the first rapper?”, I really can’t say, because I always forget. When I was a kid, even in my music videos – those are probably from 10 or 11 years ago – I used to think that I was the first rapper, but I still used to go out […]
For one thing, they’re the type of music that is a little more free, and they’ve all gotten a bit more hip-hopier, with a lot more bars. But bars, obviously, mean so many things. One of them is, “My man, can I get a shot of whiskey?” And it means, “Can my man get some […]
What’s his contribution to hip-hop? The answer is an answer that’s long been debated. In the 1980s, the hip-hop generation was shaped by the early-1990s work of pioneers like Biggie and the Wu-Tang Clan. When it comes to hip-hop culture, however, the roots run deeper. That’s because the earliest recorded rap songs were written and […]
