Hey, we're debating here, no need to take it to a level of acrimony. Ease up on the name calling.


You realize I am not against sampling? I like samples. My point is music is not limited to that, which is why Madlib is still making incredible shit, because he does everything, and so does Jake One.


Also you do realize that Afrika Bambatta was making electric beat rap music before cats started making boom bap?

So electric beat music is closer to the roots of old school hip hop than
boom bap is.

The shit Mantronix was doing, and the shit that Man Parrish put out, that shit was all electric beat music, same thing goes for Herbie Hancock's rocket....


That's the reason why I love so much of the eletric beat stuff because it takes me back to the sounds of Arthur Russell, DNA, Glenn Branca, Liquid Liquid, ESG, Afrika B, Mantronix, etc .....

Hip Hop started off with keyboards and synthesizers, then came the MPC and SP1200
