Life / Is there anything worse than Polish rap? [148]
for me, hip hop is one of the most exciting musical styles because it encorporates and borrows from so many different and exciting places... taking, shaping, blending, mixing others' creations to produce something new, and the producer or dj who does this effectively is as much a musician as any traditional intsrument player... a man, 2 turntables, a microphone and a set of speakers is what brought hip hop from the streets of the 7Os to the clubs, radiostations and tv shows of today... unfortunately somewhere along the way the music industry realised they could make a bob or two and what people refer to as rap was born... so much of the musical creativity is lost and the usual focus of commercial music takes over...
