Creative MIDI Generator Plugins
This article is an introduction to MIDI generators in the form of a review of some of the most advanced and useful plugins of this kind.
Since its birth back in the late 70s, Hip Hop has cemented its status as one of the most popular music genres in the world. Its flawless combination of rhythm, soul and rapping has gone on to inspire many other musical genres, which we learnt when we explored the history of Hip Hop.
Looking back over the past 40 years or so, what can be seen is how Hip Hop itself has been influenced by different genres. Artists like Drake are now embracing more mellow, soulful sounds, moving away from the old-school Hip Hop of the 70s and 80s and away from the ‘golden age’ sound of Hip Hop in the 90s. We love that Hip Hop is becoming more eclectic than ever. You can view our vast range of Hip Hop samples from different eras and from across the world.
The evolution and different styles of Hip Hop beats are evident in our most downloaded Hip Hop sample packs, moving from symphonic sounds through piano melodies and booming 808s.
Recently, Hip Hop has seen a massive surge in popularity; in fact, for the first time ever in 2017, R&B/Hip Hop surpassed rock to become the most popular music genre in the U.S.
