Early Hip Hop

In the past class we listened to Early forms of hip hop. I really enjoyed this because I did not know that much about early hip hop. The songs were much longer than today's rap, because of how big the records were. They could fit around six minutes of recording on to each one, so each song would be about that long. At that time, the music video concept was becoming pretty large, and we watched some of Run DMC's music videos. First of all, the audience was different and the clothes they wore were different. They were wearing jump suits so that they could dance or do moves in more easily, preferred to the Hair Metal clothes. I liked learning about early hip hop a lot.
