influence.
but to be honest i don't see where you got the house/techno thing from. Unless you're talking about hip house which was really short lived... but dayum! |
I was just responding to the claim that European electronic music was somehow this huge influence on early hip-hop which it wasn't. The biggest influence on hip-hop was pretty clearly funk and most of the earliest hip-hop recordings were in fact done by funk bands. My point was just that the smaller amount of influence exerted on hip-hop by electronic music came largely by way of Detroit and Chicago, not Düsseldorf.
Interesting song you posted though, funny to hear someone sampling Talking Heads.
