,1. DJs who talked over music, and

2. the dub practice of reusing instrumental backing tracks of

already existing songs

Soundsystem - Answers The primary means of disseminate music in Jamaica in the 1970s was the
soundsystem

technological one

It refers to the whole structure of putting on a dance or a party: the speakers, the records, the DJ, the
selector, the promoter, the dancers

"Talkover" - Answers As in the US radio DJs in Jamaica developed flamboyant on-air

personalities while talking over the music

Dr Alimantando "Best Dressed Chicken in Town" - Answers Dr Alimantando was one of the pre-eminent
Jamaican DJ

performers

Disco - Answers Disco, like hip hop was more of a social practice and context than musical style per se.

Chic "Good Times" - Answers Chic was a project of the duo of guitarist Nile Rodgers and bassist Bernard
Edwards

Their concept was to take the energy of the "breakdown" sections in songs popular in discos, and to
build more complex

traditional pop songs on top of that

DJ Kool Herc - Answers pioneered the practice

of playing two copies of the same record and mixing between them to extend the break

Grandmaster Flash - Answers took Herc's basic technique and refined it by adding a

headphone cue mix to his set up. This allowed him to make the cuts cleaner and more in tempo

Grandwizard Theodore - Answers The other main Djing innovation from this time was scratching,
supposedly invented by accident

Early MCs - Answers Early MC performers were closer to what we'd call hypemen today

Graffiti - Answers While graffiti writers were perhaps not explicitly part of the party scene, the art form
developed in parallel and many of the same people were involved

Early rap and the music business - Answers Because it was an informal practice linked to live social
occasions, most of the early DJs and MCs had no commercial musical

aspirations

Sugarhill Gang "Rapper's Delight" - Answers The first rap single and a huge hit, worldwide

Funky 4 + 1 "Rappin and Rocking the House" - Answers The first "real" rap single, released by Enjoy!
Records

The group were mainstays of the Bronx party scene

Three.

He was also the nephew of Enjoy's owner Bobby Robinson and when

offered a chance to record made this solo effort over the Patty Duke break. He was later featured on

accomplished early MC crew: Kool Moe Dee, L.A. Sunshine and Spoonie Gee
