Trip Hop, aka the Bristol sound, is a term applied to the English trend of making breakbeat-based, slowed down electronic music in the mid-1990s. Often sample-heavy and moody, the Trip Hop sound was pioneered by Coldcut on his remix of Eric B. & Rakim’s “Paid in Full.” Popular artists such as UNKLE, Portishead and Tricky.
Hip Hop is a cultural movement which developed in New York City in the 1970s primarily among African Americans, Caribbean Americans and Latinos. When Hip Hop music began to constitute itself, it was defined by Bronx-based DJs who created rhythmic beats by looping breakbeats on two turntables, today the main body of Hip Hop is constituted through the sampling of Funk, Soul, and R&B. Lyrics, often explicitly political in nature, are often rapped over the beats of Hip Hop tracks. Important artists include 2Pac, Nas and Jay Z.
