Afrika Bambaata or more affectionately known as (Bam) was a musical force of nature. His influence on DJ's and hip hop culture in general cannot be overstated; in many ways he created the template for what modern DJ's are today. He coined the term "hip-hop", invented electro boogie, turntablism, break beat sets, and helped spread a message of positivity within hip-hop culture. When he chose the famous sample by Kraftwerk to invent the track "Planet Rock", a record that went gold, he singlehandedly put break dancing and sampling on the international map. Everyone knows that it takes long hours of searching and listening to old records to get that perfect beat and BAM wrote a record entitled just that. "Looking for the Perfect Beat" is an electro-boogie classic that has been sampled countless times, influenced a bevy of artists and DJ's from the environs of acid-house to the channels of hip-hop. This shirt displays a record with the text "Looking for the Perfect Beat" in the center and a stylus underneath. This design is for the DJ's, producers, breakers, and those that pay respect to the origins of hip-hop and dance culture.
