It’s
probably fair to say that hip-hop has been the most globally influential style
of music since some young wag stepped on Elvis's blue suede shoes. Starting out
as a voice for African-American and Latin communities in the states, hip-hop
soon spread and became the soundtrack to the 80's, 90's and the new millennium.
Every year its influence and penetration increase, from commercials to films
and from charts to bars. In this section I will explain the basics of hip-hop
production as well as 20 must know tips to make the best hip-hop tracks
possible.
Beats are
the backbone of all hip-hop. Whether you're into the cheeky one-two of Dre's
Eminem productions or the juddering steps of Dj Premier, you need to make sure
that if nothing else is playing, your beat still stands up to scrutiny. As US
comic Chris Rock put it: "If the beats alright, they'll dance all
night."
As we've
already seen, hip-hop beats started out as breaks from records, beatboxes and
sampling drum machines, so its very easy for hip-hop produced on a computer to
sound a little lifeless. Live playing and clever quantisation can fix this,
though. The main trick is to keep it sparse and once you have a basic groove
going, try taking out different percussive hits before adding more.
Also, it’s
important to keep it simple. If you listen to professional hip-hop productions,
you'll notice that it’s rare for two different percussive elements to play at
the same time - unless its a layered clap and snare, and even then they'll
alternate over a bar or two between both playing and then only one or the
other. You'll also hear many parts were an instrument like a shaker only plays
for a small and specific section of a looped bar, almost as if the different
percussive elements are taking turns.
