Why I hate EDM...

[Emery]

turntableism started from the hiphop scene in NYC. The movie "Scratch" explains a lot. btw Jurassic 5 and dilated ppl are awesome. DJ babu's the man

Ye I can't deny Turntableism starting from Hip-Hop but Djing was adopted and advanced to suit the genre, Hip-Hip did not create Djing, Disco did, Djing created rap\Hip-hop through MC's i'm pretty sure, i'll watch "Scratch" if you watch "A History Of House Music" lol it covers all genres not just house music, you can watch it on youtube in parts

[Emery]

Well since I like house music more than hip-hop at this point Ill take you up on that! lol

And yes you're right. The guys would loop breaks on turntables and people would just jump up grab the mic and start mc'ing, which turned into rap as we know it

So

100%

This.

(Oh and fwiw I am hugely into hip-hop. There's some excellent stuff coming out of the UK at the moment ... such as
