BEATS
The raps and beats of DJ Sez are originals. Both are done in the style
of "Old School" hip hop music. This means that the raps are
very precise in their following of the beat. This is very easy to differentiate
from more modern conversational and free styles of rapping. In addition
to entertaining and providing a style and setting for the experience,
the rap serves the purpose of guiding and instructing the guests. In this
vein, making a rap that was both clear and universal to all generations
was a high priority. The beats, composed in a meter of 4/4, in keeping
with the "old school" theme, place a strong emphasis on beats
2 and 4, and are composed of precise subbeats. This creates a rhythym
that is suitable for break dancing and easy, accurate rapping. Also important
to this style is the use of synthesized sounds and basslines. To allow
for a comfortable rap speed, the tempo was tested to an optimal 116 beats
per minute.
