As DJ’s transitioned into production they embraced non-traditional methods of creating music such as using drum machines and samplers.Īlthough the first recorded hip-hop song, “Rapper’s Delight” features as a live band, the group musicians in the studio were used to basically recreate or interpolate another song ( “Good Times” by Chic). Early hip-hop DJ’s turned the turntables into instruments capable of keeping a party going with just a drum loop.

Hip-hop is a genre that has evolved alongside music technology.
