Topic: King MC and DJ Flash


  
  Old school rap - Hip Hop Galaxy
Compared to more modern, new school rap with artists like Alton Clarke, with his neo singer songwriter hop, and his hit "Almost Made you Cry", old school has relatively simple rhythms and cadences that occur on the beat instead of wrapping around the rhythm, as has become common.
Finally, Run-DMC focused on beats and samples - according to the traditional definition of the term old school rap, "Sucker MCs" and "Peter Piper" were the first new school tracks, focusing on beats and later on samples.
However, the definition of all rap music of the eighties as old school rap seems to be more common nowadays, although musically it is not particularly useful.

 The Importance of the Hip Hop DJ by DXT formerly Grandmixer DST
The hip-hop DJ has to endure the process of obtaining a vast knowledge of music and rhythm (the force), be able to synchronize the grooves and beats, and continually search for new sounds to maintain his status in the culture.
DJs listened to all genres of music from rock, Latin, country, opera … whatever, but their main inspiration came from funk and R&B. Funk/R&B music is the closest source of music that resembles the original drum sounds from Africa.
Third, the MC now had his own power, but this power was false because he received it from record company executives through their perversion of hip-hop culture and not from the Tri-Force.
