HIP HOP and Jazz are kissin' cousins. Here, I'm using the song NY State of Mind (Instrumental) by NAS to simply illustrate Hip Hop and Jazz's kinship!! The song is based on 16th-note-triplets (1 trip let & trip let, 2 trip let & trip let, 3 trip let & trip let, 4 trip let & trip let...) along with the Jazz Swing. Technically the song is counted/played as "swung" 16th-notes (1 e & uh, 2 e & uh, 3 e & uh, 4 e & uh...). The concepts are easier to understand if you see them on paper (drum notation). I hope you enjoy!!!
