The Influence of Hip Hop Culture: Exploring Its Elements
Hip hop culture has made an undeniable impact on the world, seeping into every corner of society and transcending its humble beginnings. With its powerful elements of MCing, DJing, breakdancing, and graffiti art, hip hop culture has become a driving force in mainstream culture. It has the power to inspire, provoke thought, and spark conversation on critical social issues, making it more than just…
Tommy Boy's Greatest Beats Volume 1
Various Artists
1998, Tommy Boy
The Tommy Boy catalogue has been endlessly repackaged over the years, but if you’re looking to score some of the classics on wax you could do worse than this late ‘90s double LP compilation. Tommy Boy had commemorated its first 15 years with a 2xCD/4xLP box set of the label’s “Greatest Beats,” but for the more cost-conscious consumer also broke the vinyl set out into individual volumes. Volume 1 sadly (sadly!) does not include anything by Coolio or House of Pain, for which you would have to splash out for Volume 2, but what is here’s pretty good: both Bambaataa’s “Planet Rock” and “Renegades of Funk” (the latter in its full 12” glory); the 12” mix of De La Soul’s debut “Plug Tunin’ (Are You Ready for This”); early electro gem “Play at Your Own Risk” by Planet Patrol (likewise in 12” format); Stetsasonic, Naughty by Nature, Digital Underground and more.

The selection admittedly feels a bit random without the accompanying Volume 2 (we get K7’s minor New Jack-dancehall hit “Move it Like This” rather than his smash “Come Baby Come” for example), and it’d be hard to argue fun but forgettable cuts like Choice MC’s instrumental b-side “Gordy’s Groove” or Bambaataa and James Brown collab “Unity” belong on a “hits” comp for a label of Tommy Boy’s magnitude. Not all of the actual hits are winners either—Club Nouveau’s Grammy-winning Kidz Bop version of Bill Withers’ “Lean on Me” has aged like a Kidz Bop reunion tour. On balance though, the set does a good job of representing the label’s hip-hop, dance, electro, and R&B sides, delivering some of the most influential Black music of the past forty years, a heap of ‘80s and ‘90s nostalgia, and some sure-shot party fuel. Drop the needle and hit the floor.
I media giocano un grande ruolo nella distruzione del movimento culturale Hip Hop, ma molti di voi all'interno della stessa comunità Hip Hop sono tra i più grandi nemici e questi saranno i primi che aiuteranno i nemici a distruggere l'Hip Hop, o a riportarlo indietro nel sottosuolo [underground, in senso letterale, n.d.r.], e questo a causa della vostra ignoranza nella conoscenza dell'Hip Hop. Da qui è iniziata la differenza tra "Old School" e "New School".
Per me (Afrika Bambaataa) esiste solo una scuola e questa è la scuola dell'insegnamento, dell'apprendimento, dell'evoluzione, passando attraverso differenti fasi e cicli di scuola dell'Hip Hop. Questa è la reale scuola Hip Hop

"Planet Rock" is a song by the American hip hop artists Afrika Bambaataa and the Soul Sonic Force. The song was produced by Arthur Baker and released by Tommy Boy Records in 1982. The recording came together after DJ and producer Baker met with Bambaataa and the two bonded over the idea of creating a song about their mutual appreciation for the band Kraftwerk.
