Hip Hop sample packs are one of the most popular product types on ProducerLoops.com. As we stock more Hip Hop sounds than any other site on the web, we thought we'd give you a bit of an introduction to the genre.
Hip Hop originated in in the late 1970s in the United States. A key element in the beginning was the isolation of the percussion breaks of popular Funk songs, sometimes using two turntables to extend the breaks (that’s where the term breakdancing comes from). Turntablist techniques, such as scratching, beat mixing, beatmatching, and beat juggling eventually developed to manipulate the breaks. Our 70s-influenced Hip Hop sound packs concentrate on those innovative breaks and percussive beats which gave rise to the early Hip Hop era. Many of our best Hip Hop sample packs are fully dedicated to vinyl scratches, giving you the sounds of influential artists like DJ Kool Herc, DJ Disco Wiz, and Grandmaster Flash.
The Sample Era
Hip Hop's early evolution occurred just as sampling technology and drum machines became widely available and affordable. Check out our massive selection of Hip Hop sample packs dedicated to drum loops by clicking the link.
Rap Vocals
Rap was manifested from the social conditions of the 1970s. This form of poetic and “verbal acrobatics” was derived from ancient African culture and oral tradition. This element removed the veil that isolated the wider culture from the social conditions of many under-served inner-city African American communities. The rapid-fire wordplay, spoke the truth of stories that weren’t being told and gave rise to a new urban narrative. Rappers may write, memorize, or improvise their lyrics and perform their works a capella or to a percussive beat. Jamaican toasting, a chanting vocal style, is also used over Hip Hop beats. Of course, we have a healthy collection of Hip Hop vocals and rap sample packs.
Development of Hip Hop
The 1980s marked the diversification of Hip Hop, as the genre developed more complex styles. Hip Hop has continued to develop into genres such as Crunk, Lo-Fi Hip Hop, Dirty South, Boom Bap and Trap, as well as the clear-cut differences of East and West Coast Hip Hop. So, as much as Hip Hop was influenced by other genres like Funk, Jazz and the Blues, it has led to the development of new styles from different parts of the US and beyond. Producers have endlessly experimented with Hip Hop sounds and using hardware, and then eventually software, to create innovative new beats.
Prior to the 1980s, Hip Hop music was largely confined within the United States. However, during the 1980s, it began to spread to music scenes in dozens of countries, many of which mixed the Hip Hop sound with local styles to create new subgenres. You can find the world's largest collection of experimental Hip Hop sample packs and Hip Hop sounds right here on Producer Loops.

Hip Hop sounds hit the mainstream during the 1990s, with artists like Tupac, WuTang Clan, Puff Daddy, Notorious BIG and Nas moving to the forefront of the genre. We’re proud to offer a selection of retro-themed 90s Hip Hop samples.
