He also would have invented sampling. Yes I'm serious. personally i can't really see it. especially not the whole sampling thing. i could see him scratchin maybe. and even rapping. but i cannot see the sampling Yesterday is dead...tomorrow hasnt arrived yet....i have just ONE day...
...And i'm gonna be groovy in it! | |

First off, I find those Okayplayer posts hard to follow.
My take is that Hendrix was trying to become more of a musician, albeit an experimental forward thinking one. Perhaps using samples and loops may have become part of the toolkit. Would he have become a hip-hopper? "Who knows"? Probably not in the way we've come to know it. "Sound manipulation" had been a major part of the program from the beginning (Are You Experienced?). tA Tribal Disorder

I agree, Although it's ironic that the Doriella Du Fontaine collaboration with Buddy Miles and Lightnin' Rod definitely had a proto-rap type thing going on.... But like TA just pointed out, Hendrix would probably be more concerened with experimenting with sound itself... ...

Nelly hits more notes than Jimi.  | |

Seriously though, the music in hip-hop is an extension of DJing, so it woulda had to be another DJ that invented the whole style.
Kool Herc didn't invent "sampling" either. Machines that sampled were in existance as early as the Mellotron (1960s), but the hip hop aesthetic of sampled production was pioneered by Marley Marl. | |
