Afrika Bambaataa & The Soulsonic Force - Planet Rock (Official Music Video) [HD]

I don't think people understand and appreciate the creativity that was utilized at the beginning of Hip Hop.

[@motherfuckergs2948]

I love this, money are destroying the world

[@JazzyAmbitions]

They was not doing nothing new when it came to stage presence.... Evidence of preexisting examples exits. Now as for the utilization of dancers talent in that respect at that time became huge. So what's left?.... Lyrics and instrumentals! 75% of the times the beats carry the song! The other 30% lyrics!........ Now. Knowing this all i can do is appreciate the organizers! Work done on stage and to promote the music. Nothing new under the Sun! It's about promoting, creating a certain vibe and rolling it out.

Yes, this was a beautiful sampling of Kraftwerk's 'Trans Europe Express.' Afrika Bambaataa and John Lydon doing Time Zone's 'World Destruction' is another masterpiece. It isn't electro, but Johnny Rotten doing a duet with Afrika Bambaataa was magical. The video was subversive as well.

​@@stevewallis661 Here is what it says within the community. Quote "Afrika Bambaataa's “Planet Rock,” the pioneering 1982 single that helped give birth to hip-hop and electro, was based on two Kraftwerk songs, but it didn't technically sample either of them. Instead, Bambaataa and producer Arthur Baker recreated the synthesizer melody and drum-machine patterns themselves." The idea might have come from Kraftwerk, dont get me wrong I am a huge Kraftwerk fan, but the actual Beat was reinvented. Kraftwerk is legendary but Planet Rock as a song is the mother of all electronic Hip hop beats.

Sorry to burst ya'll bubble but hip hop is dead. I too was once in denial but I came out of it. When Hip Hop was established in the early 80's (not 70's because it wasnt established then) one of the goals was to steer the youth away from gang culture. Rap music today is dominated by gang culture(notice I said "rap music" because thats what we have now, Hip Hop is non existent). And thats just one example. I can give a list of reasons why Hip Hop is dead. When we watch old school videos like this all we are doing is reminiscing on when it was alive.

[@jasonbrauner3007]

So thankful to be a teenager who grew up and experienced the best generation ever. The kids today missed out on so much amazing music, battle of the djs, and breakdancing at it’s height of popularity.

[@_SoCalDude_]

Take solace in the fact that since this music has been recorded it can be enjoyed for generations to come. I guarantee you there are Gen Z'ers and Millennials (me) that love this track and others like it. As for breakdancing at it's height you are correct but there were kids who did breakdancing at my high school still when I graduated in 2000.

The beat, the epic keyboard riff, the whole damn track... it is all built upon samples of Kraftwerk's "Trans Europe Express." Those Germans were way ahead of their time, and deserve credit for their contributions which gave birth to hip hop, electro, and techno music. Know your samples people!!!

I just turned 56 and I love all kinds of music and I’ve heard some really great songs in my time but to this day if I’m working on something or you know sometimes the radio in your head starts playing something so you don’t even realize your beat boxing to yourself this is the beat that always hits my brain first it stayed with me from the skating rink to the club to now playing it for my grand children and I tell them it’s a shame that they’ll never know wat it was like to be young in that era gangs were having dance battles instead of drive bys not once back then when I left the house to go to the club did I turn around and look back at my house like this might be the last time I see it like I did from around 2008 til I quit drinking and partying in 2018 I got so many scars on my knees and elbows from fighting in the street I give God all the glory for letting me see 56 and I gotta give moms credit the power of a praying mother is priceless I put that on God and everything else I love in this world , but back in the day all love ✌🏻
