			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hip-Hop culture is a unique phenomenon because it does incorporate and affect so many different cultures, ages and classes. In the early 1970&#8242;s the unnamed culture known today as &#8220;hip-hop&#8221; was forming in New York City&#8217;s ghettos. Each element in this culture had its own history and terminology contributing to the development of a cultural movement. The culture was identified in the early 1980&#8242;s when DJ Afrika Bambaataa named the dynamic urban movement, &#8220;hip-hop.&#8221; Since that time &#8220;hip-hop&#8221; has served as a powerful voice and form of expression for young black audiences and has evolved into a culture with its own language, style of dress and mindset. The hip hop culture envelops not only music but also fashion and dance.</p>
<p>What makes hip hop&#8217;s evolution is the range of flavor the culture has to offer and what &#8220;hip-hop heads&#8221; thrive on is individuality and creativity, which is never more apparent than in hip-hop fashion. In fact, hip hop fashion is one of the top clothing industries in the world today. It is claimed to have begun in the African American community but has spread quickly into being a truly universal style for people of all ethnicities and sexes and a lynch pin of hip hop culture. Hip hop fashion is preferred by various celebrities such as 50 cent, Puff Daddy, Ja Rule and Sean Combs. It is often satirized by comedians such as Ali G. Hip hop fashion is a visible element of hip hop culture.</p>
<p>Hip hop dancing is evolving in many different directions today, heavily influenced by the evolution of hip hop music and its popularity in media, surrounded by heated debates on history and authenticity. Modern hip hop music gave birth to new styles of hip hop dancing partly inspired by the old school styles. Most of those styles focused on upright dancing as opposed to breakdance which is better known for its floor-oriented movements. To express one&#8217;s creative talent, hip-hop dancing is perhaps the best way in which impressions and expressions come from the soul.</p>
<p>Music has always played a key role in shaping minds and attitudes. Hip hop music sheds light on contemporary politics, history and race. The social influence hip hop music has on the hip hop cultural movement includes activities of dancing, associated slang, fashion and other elements. Hip hop music encompasses the written word, visual art, dance and rhythmic style with intricate beats. Music has no boundaries and no limits; anything worthy should be available through music, especially spirituality and religion. A big influence on the hip hop identity is its redeeming music.</p>
<p>Culture is the product of a current reality. The identity of a culture is created by the work and thought of human beings. It is the expression of a class or element of a particular class and is reflective of a certain period. The allure of Hip Hop culture as an organizing mechanism has arisen primarily because there is no existing political apparatus that adequately addresses the needs of young people and/or poor and working class communities; in a political vacuum. Culture, as a general matter, cuts to the core of how people articulate their beliefs, values and customs. Hip Hop culture is the most visible and vocal representative entity of its own identity. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Music has many genres, and there are different categories in each of the genres. Also, music continuously keeps evolving in new forms. Hip Hop has been quite popular for a long time, and in the recent days, more and more musicians are using hip hop drum beats. In fact, it is the use of the drum machines that has given rise to these beats. It is also because of this reason that it is largely considered that the hip hop beats simply cannot be produced without the drums at the center. Remixed versions of a wide varieties of musical pieces is one of the popular traits of the hip hop drum beats. This is basically done by looping which indicates that the drum beats would not require any constant consent of the artist. There are only a few tools needed to produce a track and can be created with the help of different styles which can be further categorized into scratching, sampling, rapping, and even, beat boxing.</p>
<p>The hip hop drum beats can again be divided into vocals and the beats. The beat is nothing but the instrumental music played in different instruments. Audio drum loops, bass line, snips, dub and many more things are included as part of the elements of this genre. This form of music is indeed very trendy and funky. That is why these beats are usually found at the parties. However, these beats can be played only in some instruments like synthesizers, pianos and even guitars.</p>
<p>Though the musical style has undergone tremendous changes, the drum sound has always been the center of focus for these beats. The hip hop drum beats today, in fact, has occupied an important part of the music industry, and it would continue to rock the music world in a similar manner. These beats are quite easy to create because with the software available on the internet, the musicians can learn to create different beats. The software is available on different sites of the internet, and it is available to try for free, in other words you can sample the software, try it out without spending any money and if you like you can make the full purchase.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reading a book is very easy but writing one is very tough. Anyone can read it but very few people can write it. Similarly, listening to music is easy and entertaining thing that also helps in relieving stress but composing music could be really stressful. Moreover, reader would read your book if it keeps him hooked, if story is good in beginning and becomes nonsense somewhere in middle; it would not get good response. Similarly, a song would not get the deserved success if only lyrics are good but hip hop drum beats are weak.</p>
<p>Making drum beats is an art and it begins with understanding the drum kit (instrument that is responsible for generating them). Whether you use live or online drum-set for creating hip hop drum beats, parts as well as functions remain same. Core drums have three most essential parts: Snare, Hi-hat, Bass drum (biggest and most bad).</p>
<p>There could also be some other parts but you are going to use these three over 90% of time while making drum beats. You must understand how all these works and you can do that by listening to sounds that are produced by them and then distinguish characteristics of their beats. You need to find what each of them may contribute while you&#8217;re trying to make good music. If you are searching for an affordable as well as convenient method of making hip hop drum beats, then you would be glad to know that you can find one online. Live kit is also very good but you need more time along with money as well as practice.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This Hip Hop Legend is still Public Enemy #1&#8230; The hardest, political, Black Power music group in the 80&#8242;s &#8211; &#8217;90&#8242;s was, hands down, Public Enemy. Public Enemy, or &#8220;P.E.&#8221; for short, is composed of many people, but the main members are: Chuck D, Flavor-Flav, Professor Griff, Terminator X, Harry Allen, Hank Shocklee, and Bill Stephney. They met in the early &#8217;80&#8242;s at Adelphi University and at local musical events around the Long Island, NY area. Chuck D, the main voice of the group, is credited with being the common link among the many members as he was quite known on campus as a talented artist studying graphic design as well as a DJ at WBAU.</p>
<p>Much of the success of the group revolves around the contrast of personalities/ images among the three most visible members: Chuck D, Flava-Flav, and Prof. Griff. Prof. Griff was the leader of a security team called, &#8220;The Unity Force&#8221; and would sometimes be hired by Chuck D to work at the local parties he was deejaying. Chuck D and Flav practiced their unique routines together while working part-time delivering furniture for Chuck D&#8217;s father&#8217;s store in Laurelton, Queens. The idea for Flav&#8217;s introduction segments were inspired by the James Brown/ Bobby Bird technique as well as famous Philly rappers Schooly D and Cold Money.</p>
<p>P.E.&#8217;s first album, &#8220;Yo! Bum Rush the Show&#8221; was released in 1987; but it wasn&#8217;t until their second album, &#8220;It takes a Nations of Millions to Hold Us Back&#8221;, that they achieved recognition and celebrity status. This album, a genuine classic, is still not outdated today. This album shocked and petrified the mainstream audience calling Minister Louis Farrakhan &#8220;a prophet&#8221;. This innovative mix of free jazz, hard funk, even musique concrète by their producing team, the Bomb Squad created a sound unlike anything that came before.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hip hop beat making has become a popular activity around the globe. With so many websites offering a variety of beats ranging from few dollars to thousands of dollars, many of the amateur beat makers are faced with difficulties in deciding what types of beats are suitable for their music. There are thousands of websites, which offer the beats for sale. You can buy those beats after paying certain price. There are a variety of non exclusive hip hop beats available on these websites, which you can use for your demo CDs etc. These non exclusive hip hop beats are quite useful for the amateur beat makers as they can also be a source of guidance for them. As an amateur beat maker, you can use these non exclusive beats to get an idea from them and create your own tunes.</p>
<p>If you need some professional beats, then you can use the exclusive beats. Although these exclusive beats cost higher, but you can use these beats in your songs and tunes.The exclusive beats, once bought, become yours and you can use them even for the commercial purposes like recording albums etc. The creativity along with some good quality beats and effective instruments and computer software, you can start your own studio, which will be helpful in saving your time and money. However, in order to create your own demo CD, you will need to put in some effort as it will be a source of your introduction to the independent record labels.</p>
<p>The hip hop beat making is an important part of the music production. Hence if you want to become a professional artist in future, then you can just start producing the music once you buy the non exclusive beats through the internet. However, in order to ensure the quality of your beats, you should be able to distinguish between the good and bad quality beats. Also, by ensuring the good sound quality of beats, you can give yourself a satisfaction that your end product will be of a standard quality, which can lead you on your way to the top.</p>
<p>Lyrics also play an important role in your music. You should not forget about the uniqueness of your lyrics, while diverting your focus towards capturing the audience&#8217;s attentions. You should also not forget about the production quality. Your demo CD should contain beats and tunes that are of great quality and that can catch the producer&#8217;s attention. It is also very different when you are performing live as compared to when you are recording on the tape. You should show consistency in both. With the advancement of technology, it is fairly easy nowadays for someone to learn how to make hip hop beats using nothing but their home computer.</p>
