Hip Hop Hip Hop is a genre of music which emerged in New York during the 1970s when DJs began to loop percussion breaks taken from funk or rock songs to create tracks for their audience to dance to. In hip-hop terms the “beat” is everything but the vocals. It is often built up in layers, including the basic audio loop of a drum track or midi drum patterns, a bass line, supporting orchestration such as a synthesiser and a variety of sound samples. The shortest “beats” are usually 8 bars long, but can be looped to produce “beats” of any length. One feature of the music is the ‘break’, where the drum (or electronic/computer generated sound) plays a short solo. This was later accompanied by rapping where the performer, which is often the DJ, speaks rhythmically and in rhyme over the beat.
Loops were originally created on tape but are now created digitally and can be created even in a live performance. Musical Theatre Music theatre is big business. The Modern/20th Centuary Era.
