Marcus Miller: The Allure of Bass in Hip-Hop
As the great man told us a while back, “When the rappers started sampling, they took the four bars of those R&B records that had nothing but the groove. They stripped it down.Plus, they weren’t musicians—largely the result of not having music and instruments in schools—so it became very raw. Hip-hoppers boiled it down to what we were getting away from, and it had a vast effect on music; it made the whole world pay attention and see that the groove is the most essential part of music. Specific to the bass, I had already found a voice for myself using a lot of notes and playing percussively.”
