Boom bap

Boom bap is a subgenre and production style of hip hop that was dominant in East Coast hip hop during the late 1980s to early 1990s. The term "boom bap" is an onomatopoeia representing the bass drum (boom) and snare drum (bap) sounds. The style is characterized by a hard-hitting drum loop with an acoustic bass drum on the downbeats and a snappy snare drum on the upbeats. Soul, Funk, and Jazz samples are often incorporated, and turntablism elements are common. The beats are usually created using samplers like the Akai MPC or SP1200.
