I’ve been listening to and creating it since I was a pre-teen, and I’m endlessly fascinated by how it’s evolved. This week’s episode goes over the history of hip hop production, from its start at live shows using drum breaks and other DJ loops, to its use of live disco-ish instruments, to the incorporation of drum machines and synths, and well beyond. I break it down by decade, note key changes and eras, and predict where it’s going next. What’s your favorite era of hip hop production? Do you prefer old school, golden age, or something more specific or contemporary? Where do you think hip hop production is headed next? Discuss dammit!
