54: Rap Influences

For this episode, I selected some songs that had a large impact on the formation of rap music. From Kraftwerk's influence on electro and funk, Herbie Hancock's "Rockit" (which spawned almost as many DJ's as the Beatles' Ed Sullivan appearance spawned bands), Art Of Noise's sampling, and of course often-sampled beats like "Funky Drummer" and "The Big Beat".

1. Kraftwerk - Trans-Europe Express
2. Herbie Hancock - Rockit
3. Art Of Noise - Beat Box
4. James Brown - Funky Drummer
5. Billy Squire - The Big Beat
