To summarize: I knew that white people didn’t have rhythm!

After hearing the emphasis on the 2 and 4, and then the displaced beat which is a mixture of both European and African Tradition, I can’t stop hearing it. It is literally the foundation of every song which is extremely interesting. All of the music today is ahead of the beat and very urgent in nature. I personally appreciate songs that are smooth and “sexy,” going behind the beat. Also, it was cool hearing GoGo since most people down here have never heard it (I am from DC/Maryland). I have heard a lot of people say they don’t like it because it just sounds like a bunch of noise. I couldn’t disagree more. I loved the video of the transition from jazz to hip hop.  I didn’t know that hip hop was so heavily influenced by Jazz, so much that you can literally go from a jazz song right into a hip hop song with a seamless transition of a beat of the drum.
