Hip Hop Records But For The Record...


In Hip Hop you will never see sheet music written out first then handed to trained experienced musicians to play out. Hip Hop is a magical moment of spontaneous improvisational energy. Not one moment at all the producer will have any clue what is about to be made into song. Yes a Hip Hop producer will have beats pre made that are to be chosen. That decision is still made at some moment time which is a spontaneous moment. Still money is paid for studio time for a improvisation moment in time that does not exist yet. Millions of dollars have been made off this moment in time. This moment in time with music has been made so many times. Yet even in the digital age the art of writing music has yet to transcend into Hip Hop. You would think as exquisite Hip Hop is written you would think the music would be even it out for a balance. Unfortunately that is the unbalance in Hip Hop the music is not written. Now with the merge with trained classical musicians for studio session that balance has been met.
Still the conductor is aside the Hip Hop producer and the orchestration in the music comes after the thought or idea. it's never pre meditated. Now more than ever songs being made are collective efforts and ideas of a group of their peers. Still the simplicity of the record never comes to a simple musician level of notes and melodies.
