No, its a contribution to music, not hiphop, the kings of sampling

The New York band Suicide had their first concert in 1970. They also were the first who used the word "punk" to describe their music.

I know there are others, but they werent widespread

It's EDM not EBM.

@@lydellflood8818 Kraftwerk is in EBM, IDM and EDM. Maybe you don't know who Jean-Luc De Meyer and Front 242 are... one of the pioneers of EBM! czcams.com/video/n4z5VmOIYu8/video.html

@@lydellflood8818 EBM : front 242, Nitzer Ebb, Front Line Assembly etc........

​@@lydellflood8818 Electric Body Music is a genre thats existed for several decades. It was the precursor to industrial and heavier darker electronic music. EDM as a catch all that morphed into a term mostly meaning mainstream electronic music and less about house techno industrial etc

Ya lo dijo una vez Karl Bartos, que ellos no inventaron un género; no puedes inventar algo de la nada no sin antes tomar una referencia de base. Lo que ellos realmente hicieron fue tomar, mejorar y pulir un sonido que ya existía desde hace mucho tiempo. Un ejemplo de ello fue "Computer World", un sonido que ya sonaba 25 años atrás, lo pulieron para que se oyera muy futurista en una década donde apenas el futuro se empezaba a visualizar.

@@marcoantoniomoreno8385 Krafwerk seguía la línea de la escuela de electrónica de Dusseldorf y el Krautrock (Can, Neu! Etc), desarrollando música electrónica desde el 70 con unas bases sólidas y concretas muy presentes de su estilo en aquellos primeros años, a la par otros desarrolladores venían siguiendo una línea de musica electrónica más rápida y flexible (Gershon Kingsley, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Moroder, Klaus Schulze por citar unos), la transición que da la música electrónica sólida al EDM se da con Moroder 1977 y su sonido (NRG) el cual seguía sus trabajos de electrónica del 75 y la linea de los artistas mencionados, paralelo al sonido Moroder, Krafwerk termina de formar las bases de su sonido característico (Synhtpop) muy influyente en bandas Punk que tomaron la electrónica a finales de los 80s, del NRG de Moroder, Krafwerk y la electrónica de Tangerine Dream, Vangelis y otros grandes desarrolladores fueron la influencia de muchos productores y grupos ya que estás ramas primarias del EDM (NRG, Synthpop y la electrónica más sofisticada) iniciaron las bases para el desarrollo de casi todos los estilos del EDM en los 80s House, Techno, Synthpop, NRG, Break Dance, Free Style, Italo Disco, New Beat, Ácid, Eurobeat etc...

Most of the sounds and instruments here were electronically based. Their 1975 album "Radio-Activity" was a record made only with electronic instruments. GRAMMY CEREMONY (ALSO DUBSTEP AT 1:57 MIN IS MENTIONED): czcams.com/video/C-b6H3PiKCI/video.html SAMPLES FROM OTHER ARTISTS USING KRAFTWERK STUFF: Their works were sampled and were also part of "hip hop" so they influenced that style in that way too. The black community also called them their heroes, as Pharrell Williams and pioneers of "techno" and "electro-funk" often said. Many different genres have used samples and made covers. You can find the music of Kraftwerk in jazz, reggae, and other Caribbean music, classical, Latino, Miami bass, polka, surf music, tango, and metal ... INFLUENCE ON ART AND ON ARTISTS (THEY PUT ON A THRONE, BBC): czcams.com/video/YaQQCW0wH0k/video.html KW - EVERYTHING IS MAN-MACHINE OR "THE CONNECTION" Fritz Lang and "Metropolis" showed the working world as a symbiosis of man and machine, but Kraftwerk put it into music and went even further: they also pointed out with their lyrics that this will be a part of social and private life, and also in connection with shopping, doing business, playing, watching, making love, and so on. This is our today. You knew it will be a part of every area in our daily lives. Do you know what it means? If a man wants to achieve his goals, he needs a machine in every area of life. 1. If you want to drive a car and get from A to B, you need a man to start it, drive it, and motor the car to achieve that goal. 2. If you want to find out something in Google, you need the man to type words for it, and the computer searches for the entries. 3. If you want to talk to someone on the phone, you need yourself and the machine to connect and make contact. 4. If you want to boil water, you need both ... 5. If you mow the lawn ... 6. If you use an electronic toy in any way ... 7. If you use the "electro-cardiogram" ... 8. If you control "power plants" ... No matter what field, this is the concept of our world.

It depends on genre

Idk if kw is *more* influential than the beatles, they're definitely as influential though

@@mobius273 they are DEFINITELY more influential, there's synth melodies like kraftwerks in so many songs of so many genres, not to mention their influence on electro which influenced hip hop, the biggest genre of today.

Agreed

@@tadknuf7979the insane part is HOW the hell did they figure out they could make music like that all that time ago?

Finally someone said it

"Kraftwerk" Took The Big Step And Changed The Awareness. They Connected Electronic Music With Pop And Were The Decisive Impulse. They Created "Electro Pop", Gave "House", "Hip Hop", "Dubstep", Forms Of "Wave" And "Punk", Even "Rock", "NDW", "EBM", Also Modern "R& B", "US-Mainstream" - I Can Go On Like This - Inspirations. They Builded New Forms Of Instruments And Soundbases And Were The First Real And Famous Technical Nerds Of Popular Music. The Vision Of "Man Machine" Is Our World We Live In. The Inside Of Their Technical Lyrics Is Part Of Our Allday Life. They Are The Electric Fab Four And The Most Influential Group Of Modern Pop.

@@M.EngelhART Alright, alright...

Kraftwerk made a name for themselves and put it on the Map...no one else did that like they did it.

@@kemilkerim4973 I except what you said, as I am showing humility ... now will you except what I said about Peter Zinovieff and Delia Derbyshire in being the first to pursue the genre ???

@@merseydave1 No problem with that,it's just these guys may have taken it further or just simply made it very popular becuz they had great hits.

@@kemilkerim4973 You miss a very important point ... Peter Zinovieff and Delia Derbyshire influenced Kraftwerk!

@@merseydave1 look any success you had in life,you could give the credit to your school teachers but at the end of the day,you took it further and expanded the idea..Not your teachers..See what i mean?

Van you explain or teach me how?
