Page "Oldschool jungle" Paragraph 7

At one time there was even some confusion and debate as to whether the use of the word " jungle " was a racist referral to its apparently blacker, reggae-influenced sound and fans as it was the black youth of Britain who fueled the early Jungle and drum and bass scenes.

Jungle shares a number of similarities with hip hop.

First, both genres have been referred to as " black music.

" When jungle first gained popularity, it received many of the same complaints that hip hop music first did: It was " too dark " and downbeat, glorified violence and gangs and had a focus on rhythm.

Both genres of music are produced using the same types of equipment: samplers, drum machines, microphones and sequencers.

Furthermore, the music contains the same sort of components such as " rhythmic complexity, repetition with subtle variations, the significance of the drum, melodic interest in bass frequencies and breaks in pitch and time.
