Epic fail

It does. Kraftwerk>electro>breakbeat>house>old school>jungle>d'nb
Every step either sparked by crossing the Atlantic or adding a spice of Jamaica. Nerds>ghetto>nerds>ghetto and so on.

And not as much English like French and Irish :-p

Must rep snotty's mum...

I'll rep her alright.......................................
PHWOAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

If it wasn't for the meme thread I wouldn't know anything more about her than she was something to do with Disney as a child.

Ha, about half the cutural phenomena I hear about here, I only here about here. Often a thing has been turned into a meme before I read about it in the papers or the radio.

the Beatles .... stealing black music and making it shit enough to sell to a white audience.

You show a big misunderstanding how music and culture in general evolves. It's like admitting that Puff Daddy made Sting better.

P Diddy.

^ Elvis did that before the Beatles...

But Elvis stolen the move from Gump.

P Diddy.

Diddy Dirty Money.

I dont like puff daddy or sting. Do two turds smell worse than one turd or just the same? not sure.

Regarding Tester's comment, I think it was intended to be inflammatory and slightly absurd. It amused me, partly because I think the Beatles are overrated. You show a big misunderstanding of how it was quite funny.

Snort :)

Music evolves through fusion, not mimicking. It bounces off cultures. There would be no blues without European light music mixed with African syncopas, no rhythm n blues without habanera, no reggae without r'n'b and no hip hop without dancehall and so on.

Puppets don't bring anything new and unfortunately we subconsciously like things we've heard before.

I'd like to hope and believe that hip hop did not come from dancehall, if by dancehall you mean the unremitting wall of unmusical undanceable shit that carries the name today.

dancehall is a sparse form of reggae that started around 1980. It's a kind of spoken word over a backing track, or proto-rap if you accept EEI's take on things, which does makes sense.

Looks like the top of Stonehedge 's head...

Tester must try harder then

Oh, it did. Dancehall's been around since the 70s. Sorry that for many it was all about Bob Marley (nota bene Hammond organs were Island Record's addition to his music - quod erat demonstrandum). Jamaican music scene was always based on a sound system and dj, not musicians. Nobody cared for the original riddim - people cared about toasting, girls about slack; boys about dub.

In the 1970s an underground urban movement known as "hip hop" began to develop in the South Bronx area of New York City focusing on emceeing (or MCing), breakbeats, and house parties. Starting at the home of DJ Kool Herc at the high-rise apartment at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue, the movement later spread across the entire borough. Rap developed both inside and outside of hip hop culture, and began in America in earnest with the street parties thrown in the Bronx neighborhood of New York in the 1970s by Kool Herc and others—Jamaican born DJ Clive "Kool Herc" Campbell is credited as being highly influential in the pioneering stage of hip hop music,[17] Herc created the blueprint for hip hop music and culture by building upon the Jamaican tradition of impromptu toasting, boastful poetry and speech over music.[

In the 80s only it turned to electro riddims instead of dub versions. Sleng teng, innit.
