Beat Music

The beat is the fundamental infrastructure of any musical composition. Stringing single beats together often resulting in a wild concoction comprised of beauty, harmony, and groove. Beats can be contrived anywhere - whether a footstep, a scratch, an unintentional motion, it can all be used as an ingredient in the greater mix. Beat music has its roots in the Pop genre, but is a highly coveted talent in Hip-Hop and R&B. The production of beat music can be found in doo-wop, rock n' roll, and soul. The musical possibilities for beat production are endless!

What Guru Will be Remembered For

When you think about the legendary career of the now deceased Guru, what will be remembered most about him? When you think about his music, the first thing that comes to mind has to be his near mind-boggling lyrical abilities.

He turned out some of the best rhymes of all times, and he did it using intelligent, well thought out lyrics that displayed a great depth of understanding and a wide range of interests from religion and spirituality to other social issues. His Jazzmatazz series produced some great collaborations and helped to steer the course of rap and hip hop, but his works as a member of Gang Starr were more well known.
