Other notable boom bap producers include Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest and the late, great J Dilla who produced countless hip-hop classics including The Pharcyde’s ‘“ Drop”.īoom bap beats typically feature a relatively laid-back tempo in the 90BPMs, solid kicks, crusty hi-hats, and characterful, organic-sounding snares. In the 90s hip-hop evolved to a more sample-based sound, with the E-mu SP-1200 and Akai MPC60 becoming the favoured tools of producers such as DJ Premier from Gangstarr, Havoc from Mobb Deep, Pete Rock, and Marley Marl.
The boom bap sound can be traced back to 80s tracks such as “ It’s Yours” by T La Rock and “ I Can’t Live Without My Radio” by LL Cool J (both produced by Def Jam’s Rick Rubin and Jazzy Jay), and during this era, the Oberheim DMX drum machine was often used to create the upfront, mix-dominating beats.
Regarded by many as the pinnacle of hip-hop, ‘boom bap’ is an onomatopoeic reference to the prominent kick and snare sounds of ‘golden age’ New York City hip-hop.
