Before...86 was the year I really got into hip hop. Before that I did like a lot of the electro stuff but the advent of sampling in rap really got me interested. The breakin' craze had died out a year earlier and not many people in my area were really into the new generation of hip hop acts that were slowly filtering through. <br /><br />The street sounds lp's became more hip hop biased and we first received National Fresh out here in the sticks. I still owe my love of hip hop these days to the likes of Mike Allen and John Peel (who always played a couple of hip hop tracks on his shows back then).<br /><br />It was definitely a transitional year, where the early 80's drum machine electro era developed into the break sampling tracks that would form the foundations of hip hop's golden era. <br /><br />Fresh for 86 indeed.157https://www.blogger.com/profile/04644749978289136347noreply@blogger.com
