Sur le Net (rap et autres musiques)

[Lewis Riveroy]

Une "Histoire de la mixtape" (pas encore lu), signée Noz.

From dubbed cassettes to burned CDs to 128kbsp mp3s, Noz details how mixtapes became – and remain – an integral part of hip hop.

The history of hip hop is told by the tale of the tape. About a decade after a posse of Dutch scientists figured out how to condense once-enormous magnetic recording spools into the compact space of a cassette, a Jamaican immigrant named Kool Herc birthed – in the community center of a Bronx apartment complex – what would eventually become a multibillion-dollar branch of the music industry. But the rise of these two inventions are inexorably linked, particularly in New York City.
