In this part of the text, Hunter begins to break down the Burst Beat and it’s nature as the antithetical successor to the Blast Beat.

However, the nature of the beat, much like any form of music, is best described through listening. Contrast the “Burst Beat” used in Liturgy’s own High Gold

PE was arguably the biggest group to talk about serious issues in rap, specifically from an afrocentric point of view. Granted, they were by no means the first nor the last to talk about social issues, but they were the first ones to really dedicate themselves to it. As a result, they raised a lot of people’s minds up to issues and facts they might not’ve been aware of, ranging from COINTELPRO to the prison-industrial complex.
