Once Upon a Time Lyrics

How shall I begin my story that has no beginning
(Quote from the movie Salt of the earth)

The sampler, as well as the turntable
Were principal tools largely responsible
For the birth and development of hip-hop

With a sampler any drum beat, any guitar riff
Any sound that could be recorded
Could be used as part of a new composition
A new contextualization
The recording you are listening to now is an example
