Apparently, I am a bad person for thinking the Beatles have had no bearing on music
 

At least when it comes to hip-hop and countless other genres, what have the Beatles done, exactly
Did the Beatles invent reggae or ska
Maybe they invented drone music too?

Oh do be quiet.

They invented this thread, sadly.

Anyway, carry on, you're entertaining.

I see absolutely no merit in Elvis, let's be friends

Beatles were the first rock n roll band ever accepted as ART by mainstream society.
That's enough.
and since the beatles have been sampled countless times by rap music from the beggining to now, they do exert influence on hips to the hops.

i betcha i could count them. i betcha

Some, a part of it, NOT ALL.

List of Beatles samples.

no not bad, just ignorant. just ignorant..

...

go for it

i've got a triple CD compilation of reggae & ska beatles covers that were all recorded in the late 60s and early 70s

That means they invented ska and hip hop, then.

I remember hearing a My Bloody Valentine bootleg where they sampled just the line "Hey Bungalow Bill".

Uh, "Tomorrow Never Knows"??

I believe that's more electronic than drone?

Did you make it yrself or is this somewhere available?

What? What Are You Saying You Madman, The Beatles Invented Everything, Everyfuckingthing On God's Green Earth, Sir. Yes, Ska. Yes, Hip Hop. Yes, Drone. Polka. Jazz. Free Jazz. Punk Rock. Trip Hop. Electro. Pop. Krautrock. Country. Hardcore. Mallcore. Led Zeppelincore. Pizza. The Spanish Language. Everything!!!

edit: imagine this was in all caps, for exxxtra yelling effect/affect. silly filter. D:

summer, who said you were a bad person for thinking that?

The Beatles created music.

SHAME

It was the little voices in his head.

its not that they invented anything, cause they invented nothing, but they did have a major influence on almost everything that came after them. to deny that doesnt make you bad it does, as someone noted, make you ignorant.

people often get confused that the fact that THEY dont like a band DOES NOT meant that said band was not good/influencial/ worthy of praise....

^^^ That's exactly what I said on the other thread. I don't really get into the Beatles, but to deny their innovation within the pop world and their influence is pretty ridiculous. They made it safe to try new things, to experiment within the studio, and so on and so on.

That's been said on this board a few times before. Atsonicpark, you haven't invented opinions, see? I bet you went through old threads, copied and pasted other boardies' opinions.

I'm not one to be mean on boards unless the person asks for it, but with this board don't try and carry on arguments.. the powers that be will never let you win (in this case you don't deserve to though) and will gang up on you with clever, barbed insults. Don't deny your opinions, just know when you're beat.

Been having a bad week? Did your bird stop singing? It's okay. It happens to the best of us.

I'm having a sublime frequencies week.

You mean the label? Lots of great oop stuff here: http://experimentaletc.blogspot.com/...%20Frequencies

Or if you just mean.. sublime frequencies in general... then, cool man. Enjoy the trip.

Sublime.

Done. They've been sampled exactly 7 times according to my research laboratory. I hope it helps you and the whole world measuring the influence of The Beatles on hip-hop music, culture and fashion.

I can now say with complete confidence that you're a moron.

i counted 16 on the link jenn posted, and there are bound to be more not listed there

it's not that great though

I reject the conflation of goodness, influence, and praise-worthiness.

rockin'. Maybe I'll just download it then.

If The Beatles don't get sampled very often, it's Michael Jackson that's to blame. He's the one who keeps refusing people the rights.

I suspect he's jealous that his impact on modern culture is less than a zillionth of theirs.

Since he doesn't own Love Me Do, Please Please Me, P.S. I Love You, and Tell Me Why... so those would be the best ones for rappers to go after.
