Description
Exploring the art of sample-based hip-hop, Making Beats delves into the creative process of hip-hop producers, examining the goals, methods, and values of this musical community. Through ten years of research, Joseph G. Schloss examines the ways in which hip-hop artists create a form of expression that reflects their aspirations, moral beliefs, and cultural realities.
The book focuses on various subjects, including hip-hop artists' pedagogical methods, the Afrodiasporic roots of the sampling process, and the social significance of "digging" for rare records. This second edition includes a new foreword and afterword, offering fresh insights into the world of hip-hop sampling.
