Classic Oberheim DMX & DX Hip Hop beats

Yet another video from Harlem Night Music, this time re-creating some old school hip hop tracks with credible authenticity. So I guess the Roland TR-808 cited as THE hip hop drum machine was from Def Jam's emergence onwards around '85? Where the Oberheim sound dominated production before that. It gave Run DMC their classic early sound and before that Grandmaster Flash and Herbie Hancock's Rocket...I'll also presume the Hurby Luvbug productions with Salt N Pepa.
