Beginning with looping a sample on a turntable in 1973, hip-hop's evolution into the present day has technology baked into its DNA.
“There could not be hip-hop without technology,” Bobcat Goldwav told Gizmodo via phone last week. Goldwav is a Baltimore-based hip-hop producer with 15 years of experience working in the genre who has also found success posting his beats, samples, and mashups onand SoundCloud.
While phonography, the art of recording sound onto a physical form like a disc or cylinder, was developed in the 1870s, it wasn’t until circa 1939 that the music industry saw widespread recording of Black voices.“It’s called a race record, and the race records were literally just to say that this is a record that features the voice of a Black person, and that becomes a bankable commodity,” A.D. Carson told Gizmodo.
Six years after Herc spun, and decades after Black voices were first recorded, singer and record producer Sylvia Robinson married the two into a single piece of technology—the rap record. Carson credits Robinson with being the first to invent the rap record, after she gathered a band and a group of kids to perform a song in a studio in 1979.
Hip-hop quickly became music’s biggest fad. While most trends in the music industry come and go, the genre remained strong through the 80's and 90's. During that time, hip-hop production took on a new form., released in 1980, allowed producers to experiment with new sounds and textures.
