A mini tribute to the original hip hop head, James Brown. This mix features some of my favorite James Brown's cuts followed by some of my favorite hip hop joints that used his classic break beats. There's no hip hop without James Brown! Enjoy fam.

James Brown: Hip Hop Head

From Dilla To Dwele, A Soulful Midday Music Mix   Fullblastradio W  Djaytiger

A playlist of some of my all time favorite hip hop joints that make use of heavy jazz samples. Most of tracks are 90s hip hop with a few more recent bangers toss in here and there for the proper seasoning. If you need a tracklist you might want to study hip hop a little bit more first. 😂 Enjoy!

*UPDATE* I MADE THIS MIX WELL OVER 10 YEARS AGO. IF I COULD REMOVE R KELLY FROM THIS MIX I WOULD. #MUTERKELLY 

New jack swing is a fusion genre popular from the late-1980s into the mid-1990s. It fuses the rhythms, samples and production techniques of hip-hop and dance-pop with the urban contemporary sound of R&B. The new jack swing style developed as many previous R&B styles did, by combining elements of older styles with newer trends. It uses R&B style vocals sung over hip hop and dance-pop style influenced instrumentation. The sound of new jack swing comes from the hip hop "swing" beats created by drum machine, and hardware samplers, which was popular during the golden age of hip hop, with contemporary R&B style singing. The term "new jack swing" was coined by writer-filmmaker Barry Michael Cooper (screenwriter for the films New Jack City, Above the Rim, and Sugar Hill) in a cover story in the Village Voice titled, "Teddy Riley Groove Master: Harlem Gangsters Raise a Genius", dated October 18, 1988. Merriam-Webster's online dictionary defines new jack swing as "pop music usually performed by black musicians that combines elements of jazz, funk, rap, and rhythm and blues Encyclopædia Britannica calls it the "most pop-oriented rhythm-and-blues music since 1960s Motown", since its "performers were unabashed entertainers, free of artistic pretensions; its songwriters and producers were commercial professionals." New jack swing did not take up the trend of using sampled beats, and instead created beats using the then-new SP-1200 and Roland 808 drum machines to lay an "insistent beat under light melody lines and clearly enunciated vocals." Encyclopædia Britannica states that the "key producers" were Babyface and Teddy Riley.
