Hip-hop was once a sub-culture, but now it's one of the dominant forms of popular music worldwide, influencing diverse audiences beyond just young people.
The hip-hop genre began taking shape in 1973 when DJ Kool Herc developed the 'Merry-Go-Round' technique, blending instrumental breaks to enhance live performances.
Mainstream America first experienced hip-hop with the Sugarhill Gang's 1979 release of 'Rapper's Delight', which creatively interpolated Chic's 'Good Times'.
Sampling, as explained in a tracklib video, showcases the innovative process behind hip-hop music construction, using pieces from existing songs to create new art.
