Lmao thats the logic you using?
Well yea, maybe 6 billion people have kicked a soccer ball before, but if thats the case than 6 billion people have heard a rap song before. You lost
Only Americans would think hip hop is bigger than soccerYou're trying to use hiphop as straw man but its not gonna work out in your favor
Aside from being one of the most influential cultures in the world that generated BILLIONS of dollars in direct sales, there's an argument that can be made for it's responsibility, at the very least in creating the tools responsible, for modern day Cut & Paste culture. Hip hop music is the most shining, and most realized example of Cut & Paste culture presented as an art form. Taking a sitar sample from here, some drums from a white rock group here, and some synthesizers from a german new wave group and somehow blending that into a beautiful mix is POWERFUL.Add a nikka like Rakim on top of that spitting pro black lyrics with a dash of mysticism, metaphors, and a smooth, effortless flow and you got something damn near Nuclear.
The limitations of digital sampling equipment in the 80's forced black kids to find a way to push the equipment beyond it's limitations to get the most out of the machines. The adjustments to these limitations created some of the most powerful black music ever made. The companies responded in various ways as well, first by adding more sample time and increased sample quality. Later, as technology advanced and memory became more affordable, they started adding things like waveform editing so you can visually see what you were recording. Programs like Recycle! and Acid come to mind specifically for loops but companies like Digidesign, later renamed to it's parent company Avid, took this to it's height.
Avid ProTools is the most popular digital multimedia recording program on the market. Just about everything you see and hear is being ran thru that program. The beauty of that program, and EVERY OTHER DAW ON THE MARKET, is the ability to do what? Cut and paste things from one track to another. You know.. that shyt those black kids in the projects were doing
The whole approach to the way we present digital media GLOBALLY is directly influenced by African Americans, creating African American music known as RAP, spawned from the African American culture of Hip Hop.
AMAZING post.
Doubt that.
Man you can go to our countryside and ask them the name of the hottest artist right now, and 9 out of 10 will name some Nigerian artist or local artist. But ask the same person which support they like, most likely it will be football. I'd have to look but I think it's the national sport for over 70% of the world.
Most peoples number one song or local artists in their own language.
