Hip hop is simultaneously a new and old
phenomenon; the importance of sampling to the art form means that much of the
culture has revolved around the idea of updating classic recordings, attitudes,
and experiences for modern audiences—called "flipping" within the
culture. It follows in the footsteps of earlier American musical genres such as blues, salsa, jazz, and rock and roll in having become one of the most
practiced genres of music in existence worldwide, and also takes additional
inspiration regularly from soul
music, funk, and rhythm and blues.
