Golden age hip hop
From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Genre
Golden age hip hop · In the late 1980s samplers became affordable and producers built beats from pieces of existing recordings: the golden age of hip hop. Public Enemy piled up samples, sirens and scratches, De La Soul chose a playful tone, and the Wu-Tang Clan used lo-fi beats with samples from kung fu films. After a lawsuit against Biz Markie in 1991, it became customary to ask permission for every sample and to pay for it.
Listening
Listening tip. Listen to Night of the Living Baseheads for the way The Bomb Squad stacks layer upon layer: samples, sirens, scratches and speeches.
