Hank Shocklee:
It's no exaggeration to say that were it not for Hank Shocklee, hip hop would
probably sound entirely different. His early Bomb Squad production with Public
Enemy didn't just break all the rules in rap music at the time... it rewrote them,
forever changing the trajectory of the still-young cultural movement. To this day,
Shocklee's production stands alone in its identifiable sound. We spoke with him
recently to find out how he learned about Reason and what caused him to adopt
it as his 'weapon of choice' for beat production.
Deleted Scenes:
When you get a chance to talk to Hank Shocklee, you don't pass up the oppor-
tunity to hear all about the pioneering era of hip hop production. And the stories
Hank told us didn't disappoint! In fact, they were so good that we saved them
for a separate "Deleted Scenes" video. Rap music fans and music fans alike will
enjoy hearing about some of the pivotal moments in the development of hip
hop's sound.
