It's no exaggeration to say that were it not for Hank Shocklee, hip hop would probably sound entirely different. His early Bomb Squad production with Public Enemy didn't just break all the rules in rap music at the time... it rewrote them, forever changing the trajectory of the still-young cultural movement. To this day, Shocklee's production stands alone in its identifiable sound. We spoke with him recently to find out how he learned about Reason and what caused him to adopt it as his 'weapon of choice' for beat production. - Hudba
This brutha was THE man during hip hops golden era ! He and Keith together was just incredible , pure genius !
Hank is a musical genius. He fundamentally helped hip hop and electronic expand to new heights.
What Hank did was manipulate sounds. He was doing it in Spectrum City. I would go those parties and had the chance to even participate in some of these parties with Spectrum City with my Dance group on Long Island called the Popa-Matics. So in 82-83 -84 I watch the uprising of what would be Public Enemy. Check was Chucky D. back then, and he would rap in between the parties when they wold their thing. It was so funky the grooves Hank and them would come up with. I met Eric Sadler and heard what he was doing production wise as well. So when he teamed with Hank to form the Bomb Squad it didn't surprise me. Because these guys were super focused.
this man created a rebellious style sound of rap music, it made any other song that came on after one of his sound WAAAAACCCCCK!!!!
some of the tracks are BOMB SQUAD.....coming out soon!
An eclectic genius if you ever seen/heard one...
Hank, like how you consistently tried to make it diffrent.
Hank is the original propellerhead of hiphop. Pure genius
Reason is the only daw I've used where I have fun!
bomb squad sample was super good
Love all the bits of music in this - anyone know what they are? (Presumably Hank Shocklee tracks...)
Nooo! It's just an ad for Reason!
My issue with Reason is you have to build everything absolutely from scratch, and it takes too long. I use the Reason Rack VST for some things in Maschine, but I don't think Reason itself stacks up to Maschine.
@Jeremy Ivy What do you mean when you say "you have to build everything absolutely from scratch."? Honest question, I know some people in comment sections take offense bc they think you're taking a shot at them.
Plenty of people make presets and combinators and templates. You don't have to build anything from scratch.
the sound of the synth wa wa wa ?? please
0:07 START WA WA WAAA
hank doesn't really need all this stuff.
