How sampling remade hip-hop over forty years, from pioneering
superstar Grandmaster Flash through crate-digging preservationist
and innovator Madlib Sampling-incorporating found sound and
manipulating it into another form entirely-has done more than any
musical movement in the twentieth century to maintain a continuum
of popular music as a living document and, in the process, has
become one of the most successful (and commercial) strains of
postmodern art. Bring That Beat Back traces the development of this
transformative pop-cultural practice from its origins in the
turntable-manning, record-spinning hip-hop DJs of 1970s New York
through forty years of musical innovation and reinvention. Nate
Patrin tells the story of how sampling built hip-hop through the
lens of four pivotal artists: Grandmaster Flash as the popular face
of the music's DJ-born beginnings; Prince Paul as an early champion
of sampling's potential to elaborate on and rewrite music history;
Dr. Dre as the superstar who personified the rise of a
stylistically distinct regional sound while blurring the lines
between sampling and composition; and Madlib as the underground
experimentalist and record-collector antiquarian who constantly
broke the rules of what the mainstream expected from hip-hop. From
these four artists' histories, and the stories of the people who
collaborated, competed, and evolved with them, Patrin crafts a
deeply informed, eminently readable account of a facet of pop music
as complex as it is commonly underestimated: the aesthetic and
reconstructive power of one of the most revelatory forms of popular
culture to emerge from postwar twentieth-century America. And you
can nod your head to it.
