Proof reading not always a strength
According the the BBC and others, hip hop turns 50 this month
Born in New York's Bronx before dominating the globe, hip hop turns 50 (yahoo.com)
There's a case for saying its been the most influential or important form of the last 50 years, progressing and innovating as other forms have trod water or declined. In many ways its beats have helped other forms stay fresh. It's pretty ubiquitous and increasingly diverse - in film sound tracks, in contemporary jazz, in festival line ups, in adverts, in contemporary dance.
I know it's decidedly marmite here - some see it as awful, others as vital.
For me Three Feet High and Rising, The First Tribe Called Quest record and To Pimp Butterfly stand out as records and J Dilla's for beats and as a sound.
What are your thoughts on the high spots?
