Rockit Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Rockit was a single from Herbie Hancock's 1983 album Future Shock (album).The single was written by Hancock, bass guitarist Bill Laswell and synthesizer /drum machine programmer Michael Beinhorn.
Recorded live in the studio, Rockit was perhaps the first popular single to feature scratching and other turntablist techniques--courtesy of DXT--as a musical instrument outside of a hip hop or rap music context. Many later turntablists have cited Rockit as relevatory, inspiring their interest in the craft.
The single was a major radio hit in the United Kingdom, and the humorous music video was among the earliest videos by an African American on MTV.
