TROUBLE FUNK " LETS GET SMALL "
BY 1987 - 1988 THE HIP HOP CAT WAS WELL AND TRUELY OUT OF THE BAG , SAMPLING WAS EXPLODING FOR A WHOLE MESS OF REASONS AND THE KIDDS WHERE GOING SAMPLING CRAZY , SAMPLING EVERYTHING THEY COULD GET THEIR HANDS ON.
WITHIN A TWO YEAR PERIOD THE SAMPLING GAME WAS ABOUT GETTING OLD AZZ SAMPLES , OBSCURE SHEEETTT BUT FOR A SHORT TIME KNICKING A PRESENT BIG TUNE WAS DA NORM.
HIP HOP HAD ( ON VINYL AT LEAST ) STARTED TO BE NON NEW YORK BASED AND ONE OF THE FIRST CITIES TO MAKE AN EUROPEAN SMASH WAS WASHINGTON'S " GO-GO " SOUND.
( I'LL STRETCH THE POINT BY THROWING IN THAT IT COULD BE AGRUED THAT THE FUTURE GROOVE OF HOUSE / TRANCE / TRIBAL TECHNO TOOK NOTES FROM GO-GO WITH ITS RIDD-MIC LOCKED GROOVE EFFECT )
GO-GO BLEW UP AND THEN VANISHED..........ONE OF THE MANY STYLES THAT HIP HOP EMBRACED AND DISCARDED IN ITS MISSION FOR THE NEW THING.... HIP HOUSE , SWING BEAT , HIPPY HOP ETC......
I DO REMEMBER SOMETHING ABOUT A RATHER SUPERB DOC ON THE WASHINGTON GO-GO SCENE AND WHAT THE HELL WENT WRONG.....AND IN COMPILING THIS POST I REMEMBERED " I WANT TO SEE THAT FILM "....IF I FIND ANY INFO WILL POST HERE.
HERE ARE A SELECTION OF TAKER'S
CUTTING AND SCRATCHING ( YOU WOULDN'T HAVE A CHANCE OF GETTTING THIS TUNE PAST DEMO STAGE WITH THE AMOUNT OF SAMPLES ON HERE )
IF YA TENDER ABOUT LYRICS............AVOID
DOUBLE POST HERE OF THE SAME TUNE ( U.K'S ANSWER TO STEINSKI'S LESSONS 1-3 )
2ND POST INCLUDED AS IT FEATURES FOOTAGE OF THE LEGENDARY WILD BUNCH PARTY SCENE CIRCA 87.....RARE GROOVE , HIP HOP , BREAKS AND BEATS WERE ALL FUSING AND THIS WAS THE LAST STEP BEFORE THE EXPLOSION OF RAVING.
ACTUALLY F_CK IT.....IN DOING THESE BREAKS POSTS I FIND OTHER STUFF UNRELATED / RELATED TO THE TITLE SUBJECT AND THESE YOKES ARE STRANGLEY ADDICITIVE VIEWING WILL BE POSTING THEM ON MY BLOG www.thebeautyofnothing.blogspot.com ( TOO MUCH RESIZING TO DOUBLE BOMB HERE )
A PERSONAL FAV OF THE SWING BEAT ERA ( ITS THE DRUM SAMPLE LOOP BUT THE JAMES BROWN GUITAR EQ'S IT OUT )
88 WAS A BIG YEAR FOR THIS SAMPLE , HIP HOP WAS ABOUT WRITING LYRICS ABOUT YOUR DJ..........HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED.
ACTUALLY THIS WHOLE TREAD IS GOING SIDEWAYS TODAY.......MUST BE THE EFFECT OF RIHANNA FANS WHO VERBALLY ASSAULTED ME LAST WEEK.
OK IF YA EVER BEEN DIGGING AROUND YOUTUBE FOR DJ / HIP HOP RELATED THINGS YOU MAY HAVE COME ACROSS THIS GUY.
SO LETS GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINT...IT IS SO EASY TO RIP ON THIS GUY............I MEAN MEGA EASY.....BUT THATS TOO SIMPLISTIC I SAY FAIR BALL TO DUDE , HE LOVES HIS FUNK AND YES I'D LOVE TO HEAR HIM LIVE......NOT FOR SKILLZ ETC ( HE MAY HAVE KILLER SKILLZ BUT SO FAR I CAN'T TELL ) BUT HE F_CKING LOVES HIS MUSIC AND HAS MORE ENEGRY THEN A NUCLEAR POWER STATION AND IF I WAS 13 - 15 AND GETTING INTO HIP HOP , THIS CAT WOULD BE A SOURCE OF OF TONNE OF INFO THAT A MERE 10 YEARS AGO COULD HAVE TAKEN YEARS TO GATHER.
HE'S GOT TONNES OF VIDEOS AND IF NOTHING ELSE THEY ARE ALWAYS GOOD FOR VIEWING / LISTENING TOO WHILST SMOKING A BAG OF KRACK.
