Beat boxing



Beat boxing is a form of vocal percussion, which primarily involves the art of producing, drum beats, rhythm, and musical sounds using one's mouth, lips, tongue, voice, and more. It may also involve singing, vocal imitation of turntables, the simulation of horns, strings, and other musical instruments. Beat boxing is connected with hip-hop culture although it is not limited to hip hop music. Beat boxing in hip hop originated in 1980s. Its early pioneers include Doug E. Fresh, Buffy from the Fat Boys & Wise (Stetsasonic). Credits of the three include Doug E. Fresh for being the self-proclaimed first "human beat box,” Buffy for helping perfecting the art & Wise for taking it to a level that inspired other individuals to want to be a human beat box. Wise with his human turntable technique inspired a whole new fan base of human beat boxers. The term "beat boxing" is derived from the mimicry of the first generation of drum machines, and then known as beat boxes. This video I have up here is sick. This dude can really beat box and mix everything I was talking about above.
