I remember a long time ago, a car with blacked out windows would drive past bass box booming and thats all I heard of Jungle. As far as I was aware it was listened to by mainly Black guys and Gangsters/Scallies.
Then the NME got hold of it and called it drum and bass and it got huge.
So what where the origins of Drum and bass ? Did it as so many say come out of Harcore ?
Where the original breakbeats double speeded up hip hop and funk rhytms.
I dont want to start a storm over this but they say Elvis and Rock and roll was white music which stole from black music - the Blues. Has the same happened with jungle or was it always multiracial music ? Im no expert but my memory says otherwise.
