The Influence Of James Brown On Hip-Hop
The Rhythmic Innovations Of James Brown Helped In The Shaping Of Hip-Hop
If there is a “Godfather Of Soul”, it is James Brown as he is popularly referred to. He lived up to the title with his own combination of music and message. But then, he also put his “Good Foot” forward by inventing a funky new sound that later became famous the world over as “hip-hop”. It is no twist of fate that James Brown is to date, one of the artists most sampled in the world of hip-hop (take a look at the “Get Up, Get Into And Get Involved” song on Nas’ “Where Are they Now” from Hip-Hop Is Dead). His influence was profound in popular music styles that include, rock‘n’roll, disco, funk, soul and without doubt rap.
