Herbie Hancock's 1983 hit "Rockit" anticipated many of the stylistic elements of both acid jazz and hip-hop.

The track, from the album Future Shock, is widely regarded as a groundbreaking fusion of jazz, funk, and electronic music. It prominently features scratching by DJ Grand Mixer DXT, marking one of the first mainstream uses of turntablism in a popular song. This innovative technique, combined with its funky basslines, synth-driven melodies, and electronic drum patterns, laid the groundwork for future genres:

  • Acid Jazz: The fusion of jazz improvisation with funk, electronic beats, and a groove-centric approach owes much to "Rockit," which blended jazz elements with modern production techniques.
  • Hip-Hop: The track’s use of turntablism and its integration of urban, rhythmic elements with a futuristic sound aesthetic influenced the evolution of hip-hop production and its incorporation of electronic textures.

"Rockit" not only showcased Herbie Hancock's forward-thinking approach but also became a cultural touchstone in shaping modern music's direction.
