context essay

how music was shaped in the 80s 

Hip Hop in the 80s was known as the golden age for it. the ones who was mostly known in this genre
was: RUN DMC, Public enemy, Eric B, Rakim and slick rick. it was experimental sampling eclectic at the time which shaped into how it is today. 80s recorded music with digital technology  such as midi. 80s was the birth of midi which improved over time till our time to make music.

Many artiest in Hip Hop had there own style. for example Run DMC was more poetic and wild. but Rakim was more hardcore which influenced a lot of grime and hip hop today.






Hip hop was mostly used by African amarica and was known as an sub cultural movement in the 70s so it heavily influenced on youth today. 

Did they influence me

These artists did really inspire me but they also didn't inspire me. They inspire a lot of artist today for example slick rick inspired nas and nas inspired my favourite artists j cole and he heavily inspired me.
