1980s Hip Hop Playlist (YouTube)

Alright, folks, this is gonna be my last hip hop playlist post for a long while, so you better savor it! This week we're taking a trip back to the 80s, and, more or less, tracing the evolution of the music from this culture that's now become the #1 genre in the entire world. Hip hop started in the 70s as strictly party music, with people rapping extemporaneously over extended breaks and disco beats, but as it started to expand into a commercial enterprise in the early 80s, the music developed a form of social consciousness too, with songs like Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five's "The Message" in 1982, and the art of lyricism proceeded to evolve as well.

But what's gonna differ this 1980s hip hop playlist from your other more run-of-the-mill ones is that it's intercontinental; hip hop started in the South Bronx of New York City, but what people really seem to sleep on is just how good it concurrently managed to get in the UK too during the 1980s, with the advent of a subgenre called Britcore, which featured people (mostly blokes) furiously spitting absolute rawness over hard, slammin' breakbeats, the likes of which there really was no equivalent to Stateside 😤.

So, with this playlist, we start with the party grooves, both classic, like The Sugarhill Gang's "Apache," the aforementioned "Message," and Grandmaster Flash & Melle Mel's "White Lines (Don't Do It)," along with the lesser-known, like The Furious Five's 1981 link-up with The Sugarhill Gang that yielded a fun tune called "Showdown," and "King Heroin," by another classic New York hip hop crew called The Funky Four, which interpolates The O'Jays' own "For the Love of Money," best known as the theme song from The Apprentice. And there's also a sweet piece of electro-turntablism from trio West Street Mob too, called "Mosquito," that urges you to "keep scratchin'," and appears to only have about 6,900 YouTube plays across a few different uploads.

The latter half is then loaded up with that good ol' UK stuff, which most Americans seem to be completely oblivious of. The best song from this section is undoubtedly Hijack's "Doomsday of Rap," which, to mention "Apache" again, samples the wobbly, ringing guitar from The Incredible Bongo Band's excellent version of it. And Rapper Kamanchi Sly then proceeds to go buckwild over that sample, with a level of aggression most comparable to something like LL Cool J on "Mama's Gonna Knock You Out," but with the intensity kicked up by even a few more notches. Just a total fuckin' old school rap banger that'll make you thrash 😵. Ice-T ended up getting Hijack signed to his Rhyme Syndicate label, but unfortunately, nothing much really came of it.

This playlist is ordered as chronologically as possible.

The Sugarhill Gang - "Apache" The Furious Five Meets The Sugarhill Gang - "Showdown" Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - "The Message" Grandmaster Flash & Melle Mel - "White Lines (Don't Do It)" West Street Mob - "Mosquito" Funky Four - "King Heroin" Lady Sugar Sweet - "Sugar Sweet" Demon Boyz - "Rougher Than an Animal" Thrashpack - "Trigger Happy" Hijack - "Doomsday of Rap" MC Duke - "I'm Riffin'" MC Duke - "Gotta Get Your Own" Consolidated - "Consolidated" Hardnoise - "Untitled" SL Troopers - "Movement"

And this playlist is also on YouTube Music.

So, with this initiation of this playlist, we have 15 songs that end up totaling 70 minutes. I'll add more at some point, which will then probably include a corresponding Spotify playlist too.

Enjoy!

More to come, eventually. Stay tuned!

All My Friends Are Going To Hell 1980's

Continuing our journey, we want to determine what we collectively think is the best year of music. Hellions are assigned a year and will pick 10 songs that they feel represent the best of that year.

The only rules are:

One song per artist per album. If the artist released multiple albums, and/or singles, you can pick them, but you can’t pick two songs from the same album.

The song has to have been released in the calendar year. This might sound obvious, but sometimes a song is released before the album, or, for example, the album comes out in 1990, but the single is released in 1991 (back when they used to do things like that).

Below are the songs selected for the 1980's (I shared the 1970's selection in an earlier post and will be sharing the "winners" for all decades when we're done.).

Here are the links to the playlists on Spotify and Apple Music

rockhall DJ Kool Herc is one of hip-hop’s founding fathers; his innovation and experimentation created the blueprint and set the stage for future artists and DJs to build upon. He was instrumental in advancing the culture and community and helping to make a space for young people to express themselves creatively through music and dance.

Everything we now recognize as the massive cultural force of hip-hop began 50 years ago in the Bronx with the turntables of DJ Kool Herc. Herc was a founding father of hip-hop music. He emigrated from Jamaica to New York in the 1960s and started throwing block parties in his neighborhood in the early 1970s, where he played funk and soul hits on his turntables. One of those parties, a back-to-school event for his sister Cindy, held at 1520 Sedgewick Avenue on August 11, 1973, is widely considered to be the moment hip-hop culture began – when all the elements came together in one place. This seed would eventually grow into global dominance, both for the music and the surrounding culture.     

Herc was known for his powerful sound system and for utilizing a master of ceremonies to hype up an audience, both of which were inspired by his Jamaican roots. Herc quickly differentiated himself from traditional disc jockeys by using two turntables and a mixer to create a continuous flow of music. Rather than playing records in their entirety, he developed his signature “Merry-Go-Round” technique, which extended a song’s instrumental break for long periods of time. These extended “breakbeats” provided the early musical foundation for break-dancers (b-boys and b-girls) to showcase their moves. Herc turned songs like the Incredible Bongo Band’s “Apache,” Jimmy Castor’s “It’s Just Begun,” and James Brown’s “Give It Up or Turn It Loose” into the building blocks of the hip-hop sound.   

Herc’s innovation and experimentation with music helped create the blueprint for hip-hop and set the stage for future artists to build upon. He took existing music and technology and innovated new ways of thinking about how the music could be played, how it could directly interact with the audience and eventually, how emcees such as Coke La Rock and the Herculords would rap over his beats. Herc was instrumental in developing the culture and community of hip-hop and in helping to make a space for young people to express themselves creatively through music and dance. In the words of Kool Herc himself, “And it don’t stop!”

ORIGINS OF HIP-HOP / SAMPLING

To understand the sampling industry, we first need to understand the origins of Hip-Hop. The idea of Hip-Hop was formed in the Bronx, New York. It was a music scene that was completely made through the idea of sampling and reimagining certain sounds and classic songs. Hip-hop originated in the predominantly African American economically depressed South Bronx section of New York City in the late 1970s. As the hip-hop movement began at society’s margins, its origins are shrouded in myth, enigma, and obfuscation. During the 1970s, in the Bronx, New York many Disc Jockeys (DJs) found themselves throwing little parties/events where they experimented with new styles of performing. The beginnings of the dancing, rapping, and deejaying components of hip-hop were bound together by the shared environment in which these art forms evolved. The first major hip-hop deejay was DJ Kool Herc (Clive Campbell), an 18-year-old immigrant who introduced the huge sound systems of his native Jamaica to inner-city parties. Using two turntables, he melded percussive fragments from older records with popular dance songs to create a continuous flow of music. Kool Herc and other pioneering hip-hop deejays such as Grand Wizard Theodore, Afrika Bambaataa, and Grandmaster Flash isolated and extended the breakbeat (the part of a dance record where all sounds but the drums drop out), stimulating improvisational dancing. Contests developed in which the best dancers created break dancing, a style with a repertoire of acrobatic and occasionally airborne moves, including gravity-defying headspins and backspins. In the meantime, deejays developed new techniques for turntable manipulation. Needle dropping, created by Grandmaster Flash, prolonged short drum breaks by playing two copies of a record simultaneously and moving the needle on one turntable back to the start of the break while the other played. Sliding the record back and forth underneath the needle created the rhythmic effect called “scratching.” It is here where the idea of sampling was reborn as songs and instrumentals were stitched together to create something old, something familiar, yet something new.

These early ‘block parties’ were an essential event in the origins of sampling. This is where the first hip hop tracks started to be envisioned as Mc’s jumped onto countless beats that the Dj’s were created by intertwining different tracks together. But it is not until 1981 that the first hip hop ‘sampled’ track was released to the world. Hip-hop’s unlikely heroes are The Shadows: a British instro combo led by bespectacled guitarist Hank Marvin, and best known for backing Cliff Richard. Their 1960 chart-topper ‘Apache’ was covered by The Incredible Bongo Band on their 1973 album, Bongo Rock, and it’s this latter version that soon found its way into the arsenal of every block-party DJ of the 70s, the mix-masters keeping its distinctive drumbeat going ad infinitum for breakdancers (or B-boys and B-girls) to bust a move to. The song was so important is the song in hip-hop’s history that it’s been claimed as the genre’s “national anthem” and, in 1981, Sugar Hill Gang, the group who first took hip-hop into the charts with ‘Rapper’s Delight’, recorded a tribute, ‘Apache’, capturing the spirit of those early block parties. Hip hop and rap have relied heavily on the practice of sampling ever since.
