Slacktory Supercut: Repeating Like an 808 (36 Songs That Shout Out to the TR-808)
When artists mention “808”, they’re talking about the Roland TR-808 drum kit, one of the first programmable drum kits, first released in 1980. “But Slacktory,” you say, “I’ve never heard musicians mention an ‘808’ before.” That’s where this video proves you wrong.
As a kid who grew up with a 606, I’ve always kind of resented the popularity of the 808.
