History - break beats
The break beats culture started back in 70s with legendary artist such as The Sugar Hill Gang, Grand Master Flash, Melle Mel, Furious Five, Dougy Fresh and The Get Fresh Crew. The culture was first created by poor ghetto kids who could not afford music lessons or tuition fees to develope their talents. So the record player took the form of an instrument, which ridged to a lamp post gave birth to street parties. Vinyl records were borrowed from parents and used to cut from one record to another, today known as turntable to turntable technique, which also gave birth to scratching and mixing. The break in middle to end of the record is the part that was used by DJs simply coz it had no vocal, and MCs could rap over the vocal less elements, this part of the recording would be known as break beats.
