buy or sell? hip hop?

Question by thumb me down, you know you wanna: buy or sell? hip hop?
In 1986 the MPC was invented.
it changed hip hop
some would say it created hip hop.

MIDI, which exploded in the 90’s allowed new people to make hip hop. with MIDI artist no longer had to have the time and dedication it takes to play instrements, through MIDI, the regular old joe/jane could realize his/her musical ideas into a recording and not be discouraged by not knowing how to play drums, guitar, bass ect.

throughout hip hops very very young and short history, advancement on a technological level has always been a catalyst in hip hop’s evolution, development, and growth.
hip hop is not scared to embrace new technology and use it to advance and progress it’s music.

in 1995, a rack mounted compressor costed 1000$ or more
now in 2010 you can download compressors for free off the internet and use it on as many things as you want:
advancements like these have given birth to the low budget (but highly inpired and driven) producer.

in 2010 you can download, for free, all the tools you need to make CD quality tracks (16bit/44.1kbs sample rate)

kids in dorm rooms can make tracks on their bunk bed with headphones on, that back in early 90’s would take rooms full of hardware reel to reel, rack mounts, and most of all $ $ $ $ to create the same quality.

right now is very hard and discouraging to try and promote your self. But everywhere you go as far as the eye can see, people are makin tracks. wether it in their basement, over the internet emailing verses to each other to edit, at make shift home studio’s or whatever.

many of us can identify imediately ten rappers that we don’t think should be on the radio. but they are. and equally i bet many of us can identify imediately someone we know in person that makes dope trax or spits dope rymes.

BUY OR SELL: in coming years, larger than life artists and “dumbed downlyrics” will end up taking a back seat to the low budget (but deeply inpired and driven) producers who promote themselves on soundclick, itunes, myspace, you tube and other sites and companies that facilitate the distribution of “unsigned artists”

BONUS: in your sources leave a link to one of your own dope trax
